Last weeks update 2.40 had issues and it killed one of my friends 60GB PS3 I think he's lost all of his downloads and game saves Hopefully 2.41 is better.

Tony - why dont you change the PS3 for a new one, like you did with the shitty Xbox's that constantly break I love the way that HD DVD really took of fpmsl... Good old Blu-ray and with constant updates, its all good

Xbox's are wank... end of.

Turbosystems

iTrader: (5)

so is my ps3 roflol
when the ps3 has been out as long as the x box we will see as many failures with them just like the ps1 and ps2

Westy

iTrader: (1)

you seem to be alone here Tony... maybe they are all packing their Xbox's up to send back... FPMSL

Im sure Sony would replace your broken PS3.. maybe even get a bonus gift for being one of the first to need a replacement... Are you sure you have one, and no just making it up lol...

Turbosystems

iTrader: (5)

I am not the first there was someone who posted on here the other week with a ps3 failure
my ps1's broke too and my ps2's
I had 3 ps2's they are all dead now
the reason I have so many is the kids and I have one each as I am a spoilt bratt roflol

Munch

Tony il give you Ł50 for your PS3 lol

Westy

actually go out and buy one Tony, your'll be surprised how good they are... well worth the money and reliable unlike the Xbox...

no sony ps3 problems at all they are all perfect according to these few owners

1. I am on my third ps3. The first one quit with a flash of light and would not turn on again the second one quit displaying a picture on my tv however it would still turn on. I am of coarse extremely worried that my third ps3 is going to become a useless 600 dollar paper wait. Anyone else have a similar experience with there ps3?

   dude i had a problem with mine.. my first made a ticking sound (but i think thats normal cuz my second one did too) My second one after like 11 days of using, started Freezing like crazy, while playing gnames, and while not (so in main menu even) Also the bigger problem (or as big) the screen was pixelating using HDMI or even Composite cables… so like screen wuz supposed to be black with say saying resistnace in the center, but on the bottom o fthe screen it would be pixalating (large blue boxes of messed up picture) and now im on my thrid one and EB games manager is mad at me cuz like hters been no ps3 problems before an dim the only one to return two consoles… i hope this one works out fine.. but i think that Ninja Gaiden Sigma messed up ps3…:S

   Hi i just bought my ps3 the day after christmas and i also bought nfs pro street and it was working fine for the first 2 days then on the 3rd of playing it as i loaded the race it counted down 3, 2, 1, and then froze on the spot. I took it back thinking the console is stuffed and it was working perfectly with sum other games they had there (Juiced 2, and F1 2007) i then changed the same game with another disc brang it home, connected it up turned it on and it now doesn’t even load at all but i can hear it working just not showing nothing on the screen. What in the world is wrong with it, its pissing me off from 1 problem to another. I previously owned a PS2 and i actually had no problems with it.
   Please help me cos i feel like smashing it with a hammer lol

   Hi,
   I have had a ps3 since the launch date in the UK, and the only major problem that I have had from it is the ability to play game published by EA, with the exception of the Godfather every EA title I have owned had caused me a problem these include, NFS carbon, NFS pro street, Fight night, Skate, Fifa 08, The Simpson’s & Def & Jam: ICON. This problem however is not just with ps3 games made by EA also affected are Ps2 titles like, Fifa 07, The Sims. All other titles that I own with the exception of Assassins creed (Fixed with firmware) work perfectly these include, Resistance, Motor storm, Ninja Gaiden, Heavenly Sword, Conan, Uncharted, Fear, Splinter Cell, Genji. Furthermore on a complaints website ran by EA regarding the problems with Fifa 08 messing up consoles they openly acknowledge the problem and have stated that they are not prepared to act on the problem, as the issue only relates to a small minority of systems. My opinion is small minority or not a company with this much regard in the gaming world should endeavour to release top quality games rather than the garbage they have lately.
   My other problem consists of the wifi connection, at first I could only get a connection working at 12 to 15 percent however this was also the case with my laptop and psp, I was with ntl/virgin media at the time using a router I bought myself. I have now switched to Sky broadband and haven’t had a single problem with my connection since.
   Stay safe, enjoy your console & avoid EA

    I bought an xbox 360 elite just towards the end of summer and immediately had problems with it, within 2 weeks it had destroyed all the games I had for it and some DVDs too it also developed the ring of death, as my post above states I have had minor problems with my Ps3, so overall Ps3 is better value for your money and in my opinion will last a lot longer.

    It worked fine then I played it on a plasma screen and connected the hdmi cable. It worked fine then I decided to connect it back up with the normal tv and it wouldn’t work. I firgured out that it must be the hdmi cable because the sound and video only pass through it. I went to settings and tried to change it but it doesn’t work the screen just goes black and after 30 secs and returns to the original screen. Does anyone know how to fix it.

    NFS Pro Street… carear mode, a couple frozen races, no big deal. Compleated 47% of races had about 200 k in the bank, was buying parts for my cars, it started saying I had no money, then the money in my account went from 200 k to reading ” $./*..,; ” or priety close to that, and yet still lets me buy repair markers or total markers. I sucsesfully entering some money cheats about 3-4 of them, and still the account hasnt changed, I’ve also raced in other races trying to win back the money, to no avail. I have about 25-30 hours on my ps3. So far other games seem to be just fine, Motor Storm, Sonic, and Uncharted, are others that I still play. I’ll keep an update on futor problems.

    I had my PS3 for less than a week. All worked fine until I tried to get online with Call of Duty 4. It would update 5% and stop. After repeated tries it crashed the wireless network in my house and froze while exiting the update screen. Since then i have repaired my network but i have these problems: longer than normal load times and sometimes it will freeze in the loadscreen on Oblivion and Motorstorm.

    Same thing happened to me. I was playing COD4 then the video just went out. After restarting the PS3 started making this really annoying high pitched “sqeal”. I figure it’s one of the fans, as I finally got the video back up and running by disconnecting my HDMI and using the A/V cables thet were supplied with the system. But now all I get is a “the system is running too hot and will be shut down” message. God, I’m getting pretty pissed. Methinks I shall be exchanging my unit in the AM

    I got my ps3 right after christmas and had no problems till last week. I have been playing it on a regular tv and went to play madden one day and noticed a humming noise comming from the tv. The next thing i noticed is lines going from bottom to the top of the screen. well my first thought was the tv is messing up, so i tried another tv with the same results (humming and lines). It was so bad for a day so i kept playing it just thinking it might go away. Two days later i cant even play a game because the screen goes in and out and the humming is louder and the screen is shaky. I know for sure its not the tv and i have searched the web for ansewers with no results. if anybody has a suggustion please help. i would hate to know i just wasted $600 on a ps3 80g

    ive read a couple of comments and im like wow! most you guys have to admit that your burning out your ps3 either buy playing to long or having it sitting somewhere with other electronics not allowing your ps3 to breatheand when a problem happens you leave out the main reason why it happened, i fix computers and most the time the problem is because a lot of people are slow in the brain and doesnt avoid the littlest thing thats common sense..so your either burning out the ps3 or turned it off during an update or you have kids in the house that mess around with your system while you are gone or you might have had a defective one from the start which is very rare, it funny how sony has it that none were defective but you guys care claiming you had to buy a new..why didnt you send it in to sony to avoid buying a new one…sony gives you a year without from the purchase date to return it so they can fix without paying(maybe just shipping and handling and dont take out the warranty sticker by opening it up then they wont fix nothing it becomes voided)so whats up guys i smell idiots and lies, you destroyed your ps3 and for the guy who said he had it on a regular t.v then put it on a plasma with the hdmi then switch it back to the regular t.v and it did not work..duuuhhhhh read your manual which came with the ps3..when switching back to a regular t.v when turning on your ps3 keep your finger on the power button so the settings a switch back to the t.v..try reading once in your life, another comment ive read was about the lines going up and making a humming sound which mine did , the problem stop when i brought a plasma and a hdmi cord so it is not your ps3 , i think it either had to be either the regular ps2 cord or the port for the cord or maybe the ps3 to strong for a lil cheap t.v so i dont care how big your t.v is if you dont have a real hdtv(plasma or lcd) to me its not even worth playing the ps3 due to lack of details in the graphics that you would notice on a big screen and p.s i dont want to hear about my use of grammer and vocabulary this is just a post that ive decide to post as quick as possible not english 101..and stop bashing the ps3 some of you dont even own a ps3 and are just xbox lovers so you claim you brought 3 or 4 ps3 due to a burnout just to bash the system.

    another thing, how is the ps3 a total rip off, did you see how much the cheapest name brand of a blu-ray disk player cost you got to be kidding me plus you dont pay to go online and a bluetooth can be brought cheaper that a xbox headpiece ..put it this way, to have a xbox with almost (hddvd)the same features the ps3 has is a rip off cause that all adds up buddy..it cost sony more money to make the system to sell for less which is a steal believe it or not…just make sure you keep your ps3 updated because i know a lot of people who have a ps3 and dont have the internet so that may be another reason why your system messed up…what you think the updates are there for to fix all the bugs and make the machine better!

    same problem as everyone else, worked great for about 2 weeks, it just stopped in the middle of watching planet earth series, then it only played dvds for little while then stopped playing anything all together. Called sony and gotta wait for the new one to show up. The only thing that pisses me off is that the warranty from sony is only 90 days , come on sony people are forking out a lot of money for your system and your giving us something that you obviously didnt test the hell out of. At least gives a 1 year warranty.

    Seriously, i’m a huge fan of ps3, as i’ve always been with sony. i’ve even dedicated a website to it. But in all honesty, i recommend you guys to just get a cheap blue-ray player, because thats the only positive thing i have to say about my ps3. I’m on my 3rd unit, and just can’t stand the continuous problems i have had with it regarding overheating/runtime errors. My friend has a 360 and we compared the graphics/animation/framerate, etc on the exact same games and the 360 just absolutely dominated.
    In conclusion: ask for a full refund and go buy a 360 and a cheap blue-ray player. The best move you’ll make.

    OK so I have sent my ps3 back 2 times I have my 3rd Ps3 dead on the floor right now…. Ok heres what its plugged into , I have a panasonic 32″ 480i , a directv reciver and a dvd/home audio unit. I plug into the front of the TV ,it plays fine. It seems that when you unplug it without powering off the ps3 the yellow wire sparks and it kills the vidoe card. WTF , you think I would learn but somone in the house didnt get the memo and unplugged the ps3 while it was on… so I then check it to see if it was really fried by plugging it into my directv unit and the yellow cable touches the dvd player and sparks like crazy.( the ps3 was off) WTF . so I try another tv and confirmed the ps3 video was dead, well nothing to lose I go back to the livingroom and try one more time plugged into the dvd player an to the tv through a svideo cable and I get freakin shocked. Real nice.

    I have a huge problem and it is really pissing me off! When I turn my PS3 on it starts up and says “Sony Computer Entertainment” like normal right? So, that goes away and I wait for the menu to come up…and nothing happens. I just sit there waiting for my PS3 to let me play my freakin’ game, and it doesn’t. It just has those floating lines on the screen. Please try to help me out here.

    do you guys know how to read the manual about taking care of the ps3??
    it talks about not playing it for long hours as it will overheat
    and also keep it in an open space, but not close to the ground, and not near sunlight
    i’ve had my ps3 problem free for the last 4 months, plus i’ve taken care of it, and when i play, at least every 2 hours or so, check if its heating up
    you just have to know how to take care of shit and problems dont happen

    I am a little disturbed with Shanko’s comments. Here I sit looking for common problems with other PS3’s as mine is loading and still loading Madden 08. Looks like I’ll still be loading when I am done writing this note. And this is not the only game doing this. Don’t give me a line that I don’t take care of my equipment and that I am an idiot. Shanko these people have legitimate complaints. We are all comparing our PS3 to our PS2. None of us had this much trouble with the older unit. None of us would have bought the PS3 if it hadn’t been for the success of the PS2. Plain and simple Sony went too fast in production and the PS3 hardware is not ready for the street users. What Sony needs to do is find a way to help out the folks that are frustrated with their units. I can’t send my unit back to the store, it was a gift with no receipt and sending it back to Sony is half the price of the unit itself. So I am stuck with the problems I have. Also I am not an Xbox guy, and will never be one. So here I sit waiting for my game to load up and I’ll continue my internet search for solutions about the PS3.
    By the way Shanko grammar does count when writing even the smallest of emails. It is what makes you look intelligent. Good luck working for Sony!

    i would have to agree with tobias, about Shanko’s comments, the people on here are just voicing their problems about their PS3 and the disappointments they have in them, and many of them treat their consoles as one of the kids, i treat my consoles with care and guard them with my life(figuratively i had a lot of optimism about the PS3 based on the fact that it had wireless card, blue tooth and blue ray capabilities all included in the price, and the controller is way light in weight, my problems come when i haven’t even played my that much and yes like everyone else my PS3 after a few minutes of even being ON shuts off. I’ve only owned it for maybe a month and have only beat one game(when most people have beat many more than that in a months time of owning a console) and besides the fact that it doesn’t work any more is the fact that the new 40g isn’t even backwards compatible. shanko doesn’t realize that by allowing a console to be backwards compatible makes the gaming industry better! why, its the fact that companies have to come out with much better games for the systems for consumers to be wiling to fork out the cash to buy them, thus making games in the future better, now i am an xbox fan in the fact that xbox payed for me to send mine in and fix it for free, now that i know that there are problems with keeping the systems cool i bought an inter cooler and have had no problems with my xbox, now if the PS3 gets so hot how is sony going to fix the problem so we dont have to come on forums to complain about it. also the xbox is backwards compatible for many games not all but many. ninja gaiden is one of my favorite games, which was an original xbox game and works on the 360, but after seeing the new( by new i mean better graphics and more options but pretty much same game) ninja gaiden game really would like to buy it, it is the same game play but better. when gaming companies can do this they make money because people want to buy them. i really hope that sony realizes the console has problems and do what is necessary to fix the problems like xbox did, and for the reason that the competition between xbox and PS3 will only make them better for future game play. i’m sure many will want to bash and tell me i’m wrong but i don’t care. this is my opinion. all in all SONY GET YOUR S#$T IN LINE!!!

    i want 2 no plane and simple wat is better ps3? or xbox 360? wat has a better chance of lasting longer?
    
    First off im not a fan or dislike of either PS3 or XBOX 360. I like both. People wonder weither or not to buy PS3 or 360. It depends on what you want. XBOX has better games and better graphics yet has many prolems regarding their ram chips and other things. The XBOX has a bad Cooling system. My friend succesfuly fixed his 360 after its RROD incident. 360’s have a 33% failer rate. On the other hand PS3’s have a better cooling system, slightly less graphics, and only a 3% failer rate. As of now PS3 only has a couple excusive games out but will have more in this year. Plan and simple like you want it is get a PS3 if your looking for the longer lasting system.
    P.s. My freind that fixed his 360 said microsoft and all its fan boys can go get F#C#E#,(fill in the numbers signs ……) because their scaming their customers. The only reason his never breaks anymore is because its MODed for better cooling.

In australia we have a 1 year warranty. first month of the warranty is replacement with a new console and the other 11 months is repair of console or replacement with a refurbish console what ever is easier for sony.

    Wow……….am I glad I stumbled into this forum. I had no idea the PS3 was so trouble prone and unreliable. I bought a PS3 40gb two days ago and was stunned to learn it was not downwardly compatible with PS2 and PS games and promptly returned it………….what a crock of sheiss!
    Video games are simply software. Playstations are simply computers with simple operating systems with lots of graphics acceleration and a peripheral or two (Blue Ray, Shmu Ray). If each new version MS Windows or Apple operating system software required users to purchase a new library of application software, how rapidly do you think desktop computing technology would have evolved? (a rhetorical question) Downward software incompatibility by design speaks loudly of a shamefully exploitive marketing attitude at Sony. The 60gb model Sony produced was downwardly compatible with their earlier games but was intentionally discontinued.
    Thankfully in my situation the retailer (Target) was willing to take my PS3 disappointment back and provide a full refund. I’m now sitting on the sidelines, money in hand, waiting for a clear leader to emerge in this goofy gaming industry. Sony and its competitors should well understand that in a market economy, consumers vote with their wallets. As in politics, it’s difficult to hide a history of poor performance from the electorate.

    Hey guys, i read just about all your postings and here is what happend to mine, 40gig strip down model. I Actually bought an external cooler for the ps3 thinking just in case it had over heating problems. Well one night i left in on overnight, ten hours, and the very next day i booted it up, 2 minutes of it being on it made a strange beep, as if coming from inside the case, not to be confused with the normal beep when u turn it on, and a clicking noise or two. A week later the wifi and network card just straight up stopped working. Called sony and they said to me ” sounds like hardware failure” and said that ship me a new one right away. They did so with little complaining from me, which leads me to believe that the 40gig maybe having hardware issues. I mean, why would they just send me a new one before even trying to fix mine? Im sure Sony is taking a big hit, meaning it cost more to make them then what they sell it for, and they just send me a new one no questions asked? Sounds like they are trying to weed out deffective models to avoid what happend to xbox360 where people had to ship numerous consols before fixing the problem.
    Hey and for those guys that think people are abusing their systems are being dooped. If you think Sony would let the public know they are having problems your just plain stupid, there are billions at stake here and if they were having hardware issues?? you would be the last to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can probably get Sony to replace the PS3’s but I guess I’m just S.O.L. as far as the t.v.’s go……it happened while the video/audio cords were being plugged into the t.v.. I have searched online and found other people that had the same problem and most people are telling them it must have been the t.v. but I don’t buy it because it happened to 2 different t.v.’s for me. Anyone else have this problem or know what the cause could be?

    Ninja Gaiden sigma seemed to kill mine. I have had this system for three months, nothing went wrong with it, it was fine and dandy. Then just yesterday as I was playing ninja gaiden sigma (playing as the awesome rachel) I ran to a save point and bam the whole thing froze, I could’nt do anything, so I turned it off, just thinking oh it might have just frozen and will work fine when I turn it off and back on (via the main power switch on the back) I was terribly wrong! It came up fine as anything. The only problem, it would’nt play any of my games (Ps3, Ps2, Ps1). Not even music Cds or DvDs. Makes me really sad, cause I have been a Playstation fan ever since the first one came out. I’am having really big doubts about the whole thing. I’am really just thinking of getting a Wii or something and forgetting about Ps3 altogether. :/

The system over heated and the movie we played started over by itself, then the screen turned pink and the color on the blueray wouldnt come back to normal. I tested it this morning and its working normal now. Is there a way to keep it cooler while running for hours on end?

    I am on my third ps3. The first one quit with a flash of light and would not turn on again the second one quit displaying a picture on my tv however it would still turn on. I am of coarse extremely worried that my third ps3 is going to become a useless 600 dollar paper wait. Anyone else have a similar experience with there ps3?
    
    I have had 3 PS3’s. The first one smoked up on me and was under warrenty and was covered. The secound on turned off and would not come back on and the 90 day warrenty was up and i payed $149.00 to have it fixed. The thired one lasted another 90 days and did the same thang. Thats anouther $149.00 to fix it. As much as it is they need to have a better warrenty on them. @yrs would be nice.

     I ve had my PS3 since august of 07 have never had a problem until the end of this month (may 08). I was playing fifa 08 and all of a sudden it froze so i restarted the game and then all this blue squares appeared on the screen like the graphics were messed up. It took me about 6 restarts before it finally came up. I was able to play for about 2 hours and same thing happened. Now it will only start but nothing comes up in the screen its just black. Why do they make such pieces of crap for 499. THey could at least giving us lifetime warranty. I feel like breaking it and sending it in to show them what i thinkof their crap.

     I have had ps3 for about 6 months and it has been working great until last week. I use it on a 1080i tv through a hdmi cable, and now the sound goes in and out every couple of seconds. It is fine with the composite cables and it wasn’t the hdmi cable i had cuz i replaced it and the same thing happened. I have been looking online for anyone else with the same problem but I haven’t seen anything. Need to know if I should just return it or call for repair. Can anyone help??

     Im waiting for my new ps3 on Monday as the old one stopped working after playing GTA, went to yellow light then flashing red? My ps3 sits in a open shelf stand so its got plenty of fresh air.
     Friend no1 sent his back two weeks ago wouldnt recognise discs.
     Friend no 2 also sent his back six weeks ago due to freezing and not recognising discs.
     Surely Sony need to be pulled up about this, its a lot of money to spend on a machine that seems to always break down after a few months.
     Dont get me wrong i love the system and also own a sony amp and LCD TV without any problems but the PS3 is very temperemental i will get a 2 year add on warranty when this runs out as i have to confess i dont rate the PS3`s reliability.

     I Just performed the latest update and after it was complete I tryed to play gta4 and the system will not play games or dvd or blue ray. Everything else works fine. I also can not find the receipt So I am really F*#ked I called Sony and was charged 150.00 and they are sending me another unit with only 90 day warrn. I got the system for x-mas of this year and I dont play many games. It sits on a file cabinet next to a window so it gets clean fresh air and hardly any sun hits that side of the house so I dont think it is getting to hot. And I have a electric dust zapper on my air system so dust is not an issue. I think it is a design problem and I think sony should fix it for free with the serial numbers. I will probably get it fixed and sell it. I am really thinking of getting xbox? I have only had playstation systems in the past but I think a new model name is coming into the house.

     My friend was playing a oblivion with my ps3 and and while it was saving the system shut its self off but wit no red light for the stand by. Now the system will not turn back on and my game disc is stuck in there. I called up Sony because I bought it in November and it still was under warranty But i lost my receipt and even though I registered it they will not touch it unless I pay Sony 140.00 I am so frustrated because when I had a problem wit my xbox 360 Microsoft fixed it with no problems. I keep hearing how bad it is when xbox360s mess up but at lest they fix the problem without any questions. I only wish Sony would show better customer service and be cool with there warranty and fix my ps3. I regret ever buying a ps3. Has anyone ever had a problem like with with Sony’s Customer Service? if I had to do it all over again maybe just maybe I would have listen to them Xbox and Wii fan boys. better yet maybe I would have never bought that system to begin with. Maybe I should call the better business people and complain about Sony and how I am being treated.

     Ive had my ps3 4 about 3 months now and all was fine till a week ago. it started not reading discs. now it doesnt read any playstation games, funny thing is it reads all dvds and cds fine. as soon as i place a disc in the slot, you can hear it clicking over as if the lens is faulty or isnt reading the disc properly. now sony say i have to wait up to a month for it to be fixed. anyone had the same problem, and if you were able to resolve it lemme know.

     yeah i’ve had my ps3 for about a month and it isnt reading ANY disc i put in….
     
     I’m seeing my PS3 doing the same thing now, but after it cools down it works again

     mine has just stopped reading discs altogether, quick call to sony UK (08705998877) and they said this was a common fault, took my serial number, name and address and said a new system would be sent as soon as poss, (roughly 1 week) unfortunate that it has these problems but cant fault their willingness to sort it out, suppose ill just ride it out as i love my ps3, good look to all you guys having problems with them out there and couldnt agree more that its stupid for sony not to have the number on their site!

     IMPORTANT!! (NOT DISPLAYING PICTURE)
     try holding the ON button when turning it on so it beeps for the second time this resets the picture settings so it can display on the TV!!
     May not be the problem but worth checking

     I just got ps3 used it for 3 days started making a noise and finally shut down and would not turn on again. There are no lights on we also had a problem loading call of duty 4 while the console was working. Did anyone faced the same problem?
     Thanks.
     

     Same thing happened to me. I was playing COD4 then the video just went out. After restarting the PS3 started making this really annoying high pitched “sqeal”. I figure it’s one of the fans, as I finally got the video back up and running by disconnecting my HDMI and using the A/V cables thet were supplied with the system. But now all I get is a “the system is running too hot and will be shut down” message. God, I’m getting pretty pissed. Methinks I shall be exchanging my unit in the AM
     
     your hard disk went out i faild it is heating up and casing the system to over heat buy a new hdd or replace the system

     Owned my ps3 since the launch with no issues. Recently bought metal gear 4. upon inserting the disc, was informed that i needed to update the firmware in order to play the game. After the update installed and the system restarted, the ps3 no longer will read a disc. No blu-ray, ps3 game, dvd, cd, i mean nothing. Sony is more than happy to assist with the problem for $150. Before you update the firmware on your machine, cross your fingers.

Tony - What you fail to realise is, the chances are, these bad reports you keep reading/typing, are most likely typed by you or other Xbox owners.... Not sure why you are so bitter, maybe its because the HD DVD really took off or because you like pretty much every Xbox owner, have had to get replacements...

The blu-ray player is superb... the fact it plays games, internet, media server etc is purely an added bonus...

no body disputes that the x box had a lot of problems so no need to post
you lot seem to think the ps3 is faultless and will never go wrong.
clearly i was just unlucky and bought the only faulty ps3 in the world roflol
perhaps the ps3 is for cosworth owners and the x box is for evo owners
