Depressing!!

[russellbbbb]

I'm sure most people are not going shed a tear for me but I'm having a rough week.

My PS3 quit reading or even acknowledging discs (DVDs, Blu-Rays, or Games). The day I noticed this was the same day I pre-ordered and pre-paid for NBA 2k10.

Reading online that this error could be a software glitch, I thought it was a good idea to reset my PS3 to factory and reformat my system.

This did not work... causing me to lose all my game saves and caused delete 2k10's Draft Combine with its game save.

Don't cry for me, cause I'm already dead.

Re: Depressing!!

2K9's Development Drills and Quick Games constantly locked up my PS3. One day, it locked up and when I went to reset it, the system powered down but the light remained green for over ten minutes without ever fully shutting off. I flipped of the power switch, turned the system back on and suddenly I could only play things installed on the hard drive.

that sux I thought you were gonna complain about something about the game like the Raptors bench or something

Re: Depressing!!

Same thing happened to me back in December while I was playing 2k9. I couldn't play any kind of discs. There's some videos on youtube that teach you how to manually open the PS3 and clean the blu ray lens. I tried but couldn't do it so ended up just buying a new slim Ps3 when they came out. Sony will fix the problem for 149 if you're out of the warranty. I was sick as hell when it happened to me so I know how you feel.

I'll buy your copy of 2k10 for half though

You shouldn't kick a guy when he's down. That's just cruel.

Re: Depressing!!

Do you have a decent PC? If so, at least you can play it on the PC until your PS3 gets fixed.

Re: Depressing!!

Call Sony, and they're going to want $150.

What sucks is its not even your fault, right?

I hate reading about people's consoles breaking down, and the company charging $100+ to repair it. We already paid $400+ for the damn thing. Are you under warranty? At least you can get it repaired for free if you are.

If not, stick that **** up Sony's ***.

And yes, I do have a PS3, and its never broken down on me. Just hate reading these stories.

So you under warranty man?

Thanks, but no. No its not under warranty. Its my first console to break, ever and its a sad day. I think I might just buy a slim.

Re: Depressing!!

My Blu-Ray drive died on me on my 1st PS3, but I will say that between requesting a coffin on-line through their support web site, and getting a new PS3 in return took a total of 5 days...and that included a weekend. I was very impressed w/ the turn around time. not impressed w/ the drive kicking the can though. But it's still better than the 2 RROD's I recieved from my 360's w/ in 6 months of buying the first one.

Re: Depressing!!

My PS3 GOT YLOD TODAY! YLOD YLOD YLOD
I have an xbox360 but i'm not planning to get 2k10 on it so sucks for me!
fortunately I don't have to wait 4 weeks and send my ps3 to sony because there's a store called GAME PLACE here in westminster ca that fixes ps3 and xbox for 95$. u pick it up the same day too.
I could fix it myself but I dont have all the tools though .

Re: Depressing!!

Sorry to hear dude.

But my take is I can fix a PC, try to fix a console it breaks a warranty etc....

PC is the way to go.

Re: Depressing!!

My friend had two broken 360s. He bought a new one at Walmart both times, and sent the one in.

When he bought it, he said he went out for a coffee, then went back and said he got got, didnt work and is pissed. They offered to exchange and he's like, F You, Im going to Best buy. New system for free. Done and Done.


In case you dont get it, do it too!

Re: Depressing!!

Same thing happened to my PS3.. And I fixed it myself. 7 hours of labor and stupid screwups on my part.

It was all worth it though buying a new Blu Ray drive.

Happened this to me. Trade your dead ps3 then get the new slim
