    Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

    Wow, I'm ready to kill somebody right now. Popped in Civ revolution last night just for a quick little session, haven't played in awhile so had to download patch 1.3. I noticed the game seemed to run a little worse for me after the last patch and this one did not seem to solve the problems at all. Then after about 15 or so minutes my system froze which has never ever happened and I had to switch it off with the back switch because the restart button wasn't even working properly. It was late so I just said oh well and went to sleep, I have had tons of DDEs and freezes with my 360 so I didn't really think twice about it and figured it happens once in awhile no matter what the system.

    Turned it on today and it will not read any discs, the disc drive seems to be dead. I put in a few different games and they don't even show up on the home screen at all, it's like the drive is still empty. WTF!!! I have never had one issue with my PS3 and now somehow the disc drive is dead seemingly from some stupid patch for Civ Rev. I deleted all the civilization game data, all saves everything and still nothing. I have to head to work in a few but when I get home I guess I'll try reformat my hard drive and see if that does anything. If not 2K is getting a brick through their boston office window and hopefully this is covered under warranty somehow and I won't be without it too long.

    Any other suggestions about how to fix this, has anyone had anything like this happen before. If I deleted all the Civ. info from the game data and save data utility folders will that include patch data or is that somewhere else?

      For those who have upgraded their HDs, how long did the new drive take to format? I have been at 99% on the Formatting... screen for about an hour now.

        Not too long, definitly no where near a hour.

        Did you manage to format?

          I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but it sounds like your Blu-ray drive is dead. Call Sony.

              Nope. Left it there for about 30 minutes and it still sat at 99% so I turned off the PS3 and put my 40 gb back in.

              I'm guessing since it happened 3 seperate times that I have a bad HD.

                PS3 Trophies to be mandatory from January 2009

                Earlier this week VideoGamer.com received a tip from an anonymous source within the UK video game industry that, from January 2009 onwards, all newly released PS3 titles will be required to support the PS3 Trophy system.

                Today a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson confirmed that this information is accurate, stating: "Yes from Jan 09 all games must have trophies."

                This news is sure to be met very positively by PS3 gamers who are currently having to put up with sporadic Trophy support from this winter's biggest releases. Mandatory Trophy support will also put an end to post release Trophy patches that force gamers to replay games to earn the Trophies.

                  That's about the only thing a gamer would ever be happy about being "mandatory". Good news.

                        LOL! Thanks, I already knew about that one. I was wishing that they would link trophies to our gamercards already.

                          I'm sure it will come but the question is just when.

                          An interactive site with trophies, messaging, would do wonders for Sony.

                          It has to be soon I would think since they're scrapping Underground.

                            I hope so. The friends list looks to be showing up on PSN off their website.

                              Agree 100%. XBox Live's website features really add a lot to the whole online experience, and it would really improve what PSN has to offer.
