FAO PS3 boys and girls......

Ive not used it all week,but i turned it on today,was slow to start up,then made me do a software update thing???? Wouldnt let me do anything till i did it,so just click where i had to click,and bobs ya mothers brother,DONE....

I then went to download the PES demo,as i quite fancy it,but it took AGES (3hours) to get,but anyway it came,and i was happy.. I installed it,nothing,whole thing just froze.... tried to turn it off with the PS button on the controller,AND the standbye button on the actual PS3 itself,but nothing,so had to turn it off from the wall....

Now when i turned it back on (slow again),its sayin it wants to format my hard drive,so il loose EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all the stuff ive downloaded,granted for free,but game sthat ive paid for too!!!! My movies clips,pics etc etc,the fuckin lot,GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Could this be due to downloading that fuckin japan copy of GT5??? If not,whys it gone like that,and whats the chances of me gettin back all the games ive paid for,and all the progress ive made in games that was aved to the HD??

A pretty gutted.......

Pete......

Munch

not the end of the world... download the demo's again..?

Ive updated mine to the latest firmware and had no probs at all..

the only problem I have is decising which to buy.. Need for Speed or Juice..

Call sony and see if they have an expanation? I didnt bother with adding jap user etc as Im in no rush to play a demo of GT and plus I couldnt be arsed

MAD EVO 4

Shit thats bad news mate, I havent downloaded anything as of yet, go to ur local sony centre and ask for help

Munch

yeah, local sony centre, will be your best bet

Westy

one that isnt actually that funny considering the lad has only just bought the car and two, people that reply with or really fuck me off... grow up, SOOTY

Wazzzer

I know loads that have had the 3 rings too, TBH I'm just waiting for the day but it never seems to come!

I've not heard of any PS3s going down though, you must be the lucky one

Paddy

Should have just bought the game you tight cunt!

If it's any consolation, I bought it PES [even though I hate soccer] and I damn near threw it out the window because I kept losing online to what is most likely fat little 12 year old cunts, sat eating crisps and dreaming of the day they may kiss a girl.

Hope you get it sorted though

Westy

look Puppet boy.. it your laughing at other peoples mis-fortunes.. like I said... GROW UP! probably still a kid I guess????

On the old skool thread, you posted...



WTF.. why do people just reply with a stupid motion..

For some strange reason you've sent me a PM...??

Munch

what are you, a Yank?


its Football

& yes its mainly fat 13 year old kids that you seem to loose against, little fuckers

Wazzzer

Yeah I get the same with Halo 3 on line Paddy, you just know the American kids play it for 20 hours a day just to prove how good they are in cyber space, but in the real world they are just sad little nerds with no life

Wazzzer

thinking about it, it sounds like a lot of forums

BM08

Maybe it worth buying a second hard drive before you start downloading stuff and progressing in games, if pc hard drives are anything to go by it shouldnt cost much

warleydaddy

FUCK ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt want a war,just a idea how to fix it!!

Ok,hang where i got it,they didnt have a clue,but for somereason,i seem to remember they knew EVERYTHING about it when i wanted to buy 1

Ranh local Sony centre,they didnt have a fuckin clue either,gave me 4 Sony contact numbers,and ALL closed till Monday!!! Thats just F`in MARRRRRRRRRVOLOUS!!!!!!

Pete......

warleydaddy

Thats just it,im not overly fussed that ive lost the film stuff,or a few demos,but i AM over stuff that ive PAID for!!! Thats what i want back more than anything......

Its justa shitter that its not of old PS style,where its just a memory card,that you can take round a mates etc etc when u wanna play a game there..its all in-fuckin-ternal!!!!!!

Pete....

Munch

i havent tried it yet but can you save your download stuff to a memory card???

BM08

Sorry i was thinking it was like a pc game that you download, i.e download it and your given a serial code, if you ever wipe the hard drive you just go back onto the site you downloaded it off, enter your code and re- download it agian, ps3 downloads not like that then?

Billabong

Any games you paid for on the PS3 online store can be re-downloaded (as long as you use the same PS3 ID you bought them with), look in your downloads/purchases in the online store.

Munch

there you go pete

warleydaddy

Fuckin hell bill,you serious?!?!! YOU LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thing is,cause it was only a fw quid,i got mortal kombat,but thas not even on the store no more,would i be able to get that back too?? Cause that great to come back to with the lads after bein to the pub,for abit of old skooling!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Bill,il look in to it now..

Pete..

P.S Who evers on there will have to Add me again... warleydaddy

Pete..

Munch

shouldnt have too re add you pete.

you should be able to sign inn using your account details, bit like MSN i guess

Billabong

Pete, anything you've downloaded won't appear in the store anymore, but in your purchases/downloads (think it's at the top of the screen near the shopping basket).

You can download them 5 times or so (some have no limit).

I'm on software level 2.0 and haven't had any issues, so guess you were just unlucky. The downloads possibly took ages due to the couple of game updates floating about + the software revision, AND they've been updating the PS Network... so it was probably very busy the last week or so.

Good luck!!

warleydaddy

Ok,il have a look at this in a bit,as im just doin a few things at he mo....

Pete...

MAD EVO 4

im just up dating to software level 2.0 right now after reading that,

jameswrx

hmm, mine's updating at the mo.. if it is anything to do with the jap download thing I'll let you know

Munch

did my update thursday when it was released

warleydaddy

Well well done you,i did mine yday,and it raped my machine!!

Pete....

jameswrx

Mine's fine, phew

Munch

Pete man, when yours is fixed, we have to give those fat yanks some abuse via the headsets

warleydaddy

Well you need to buy games that ive got then Mo Fo!!

Pete...

Munch

ive got motorstorm, CM Dirt, Skate, Warhawk, Resistance Fall of man

Paddy

What's this one like mate? Better to play thatn the old tony hawks games?

I've got CM Dirt, Sega Rally [awesome online with mates], Tiger woods, Motorstorm, PES [bunch of wank because I keep losing ] and Resistance which I hate because 1st person shooters are for losers with too much time on their hands!

Munch

mate, skate is awesome, its far more realistic compaired to TH, you can no longer do about 15 tricks of a ramp. Its quite tricky at first but once you get into it, its awesome

i would deffo recommend it
