    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    Are they? I guess I was worried about recovering 100s of PSN content more than starting a game again. I'll look into it for sure. I doubt I can get the PS3 the run long enough for a proper back up and the Plus save idea sounds interesting, but I've already deactivated a number of the account...

    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    Wow. Ok, the update finally took. Say maybe after 10 tries. It got to 99% a few times so I just couldn't give up.  Was then able to deactivate a few accounts.  Looks like I am in a pretty good spot compared to when I started the week.  Thanks all!

    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    I like that idea and will give it a shot if I get a chance. For now, the old PS3 upon booting immediately tries to install the already downloaded update. I wouldn't even have a chance to tell it to install from the USB.  Cheers

    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    What's killing me now is that while I've been able to log into some of my accounts with the intent of deactivating the system for them, I'm required to make the 4.60 system update. The old PS3 won't stay on long enough to complete that and it starts the install over every time I try.  Arggg . ...

    What would cloud saving get me that I can't get my (less than) simply recreating the accounts? Thanks all

    CAG PSN Gamesharing #8 - Find/Create a Gameshare Group and Gameshare FAQ

    Hi Guys My PS3 recently died. I had a handful of pre 11/11 timeshare groups. While I am tracking down correct logins and PWs (they seem to have changed, grrrr), I'm under the impression I need to deactivate my old machine.  Do I need to do that for each account or just machine-wide? I've...

    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    Thanks. In the end, the old PS3 wouldn't stay on for more than 1 minute. So I abandoned the backup attempt after about 7 tries.

    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    Thanks all.  I picked up a new Superslim at GameStop. It had a PS+ packin and seemed like a good deal.  I picked up my dead 80GB. However, it is now teasing me and will run for a few minutes where before it wouldn't start at all.  Trying to see if I can find a way to back up my accounts. ...

    *deep breath* Damn. Ok. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I think my RB song list is at about 1,000. And some share accounts . . . going back some years on those . . . Such is life . . . :)

    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    Thanks for the advice. I'll miss those USB ports for sure . . . What the what?! What is that all bout? Is that only through PS+? I don't have that. So what exactly *is* on my HDD? I'm not sure I have many saves that I care all that much about. Would be a shame to lose my Rock Band 3 progress...

    PS3 Fat just bit the dust. Does it matter which new/refurb PS3 I buy to replace it?

    After 6 years my MGS4, 80GB PS3 bit the dust *snif*. The fix it place said reflowing it wouldn't help. Not ready for a PS4. I'm overwhelmed with the PS3 options at this point. The 12GB Superslim seems to be the standard current model but hard to find. The slims seem to be readily available but...

    Help with the Official PS3 BT headset

    Thanks guys. I found a thread where around the 3.70 release, having DTS 5.1 selected in audio set up messed with your headset performance. Not fix in sight other than turning off DTS which did the trick for me. Works great now. Would love to see Sony fix this though.

    Help with the Official PS3 BT headset

    I just bought the v2 official BT headset for PS3. I've paired it but my buddies say I am coming across all scratch and hard to hear. Can anyone point me to some resources to try to troubleshoot this? I've got a great internet connection, it is hardwired, and I believe plenty of upload...
