iv been having this problem with my ps3 lately and it dosnt seem to want to play any games after it glitched and froze tonight.:wall:

the only thing i can possibly think of is, its not connected to the internet, and i dont know if its ever gotten any updates.

anyone ever had problems with a PS3 like this, and if so, what did you do to fix it? its a damn expensive piece of gaming gear not to be playing any games on. should i contact playstation(sony), maybe try and send it back to be fixed, like the red ring of death on 360?

My shit shut off on me once ( think the power cord fell out while playing ) and it would power up and the power lights worked right and shit but the screen was just black so I called the company and the chick told me to turn the system off all the way and turn it back on by the back and then hold the front power button untill it beeps three times and then let go it will turn back off then you hold the power button again till it beeps two times and let go and long behold that shit popped back on and works great

Long ago I had a problem with it not reading the games or Blue Ray's. Sony knew all about the problem and they fixed it for free, but I had to send it in. kiss-ass

i had purchased the 60gig at launch, worked perfect until two months ago.
the problem started with the whole thing just shutting off like there was a power outage, when i turned it back on it would flash green than blinking yellow. this is a complete harddrive meltdown and i had to return it, skate 2 was stuck inside!

no dice on this, but it wasnt really the same problem.

im headed over to playstations website to see if they have a 24hr hot line, and if this problem shows up on any faq they might have

i wanted to just break it open to get the game back but if you open and break that seal it voids warranty, so i did get a brand new 80 gig, i had to eat the game..
i did lose all my saved data on the hard drive ..they fixed the hardware problem in the newer versions so hopefully this one is cool.

the last thing i need is a 600$ paperweight.

if you don't see flashing yellow you should be fine. that is the rrod for xbox!

Ive had a couple of Glitches but shutting off and restarting seems to have fixed this. Im with you Kaleo I dont think we should spend 500+ and ever have any issues. Mine gets noisy at times But the reason i got one in the first place, was that I was tired of the red lights on the 360. Went through (2x) xbox.
