EBgames/Gamestop are nothing more than Pirates...

They intentionally steal from Dev's and make all there money off over-priced pre-owned games and warranties.

Wanted to prove to my mate how crooked they are, dropped by an EBgames in Perth, Australia.. Second hand copy of CoD4 and they wanted $104.. ridiculous when its brand new for under $80 everywhere else.

I know ex-employees and they will tell you that they aim to make money off pre-owned as its so much more profit as they pay less to trade in then sell for slightly less than full price, that way either idiots will buy them or when someone goes to buy a new cpy they will say hey, we have this for slightly cheaper.. etc..

Specializing in making money out of pre-owned games soley is just ripping from game developers and I will not support that.

FYI, formatting the drive using the Restore PS3 System option fixed everything, just got to copy my saved games back and re-download my purchases.

As Siren: Blood Curse is still working I think I may finish that first before formatting as it is over 9gb in size and I don't want to have to re-download it.

Unless anyone else has any other suguestions besides formatting my HDD?

Will a portable HDD work with the PS3 like a thumbdrive so I can back up my downloaded games?

Its on top of my cabnet horizontally so nothing obstructing air flow or anything, as said it can still play PS3 games so I don't see why it hangs on just stardust, DVD's and PS2 games... (Or the in game XMB)

Tried calling sony they just told me to format and try that agin, but as I just downloaded Siren: Blood Curse which is over 9gb I don't really want to format as I have so much stored on my drive.

Hi guys,

I just moved house and all of a sudden my PS3 has started to freeze, but only on certain things.

First of all if I bring up the in-game XMB, it will just sit there trying to load all the icons etc. but doesn't let me do anything and if I exit it, it just hangs and sits there with that little swirling circle in the corner.

Second both PS2 games and DVD's, if I try to watch them it goes in like normal but just stays on a black screen and doesn't do anything (The controller or touch power button do not respond, have to hard power off)

And finally Super Stardust HD, starts to go in like the PS2 or DVD (Shows the PS3 Logo) then just hangs on a black screen.

All PS3 games work fine as do most of the PSN games.

I have no idea what has caused this, the last thing I did was install Flow and Siren: Blood Curese, but this started a few days later.

Ive tried restoing default settings, besides from formatting the drive I have no idea what else to do, has anyone experienced or heard about this (Alsio I never have installed or played GTAIV on my console so it can't bhave anything to do with that)

Any advise or help would be greatly appreicated.

Sorry to tripple post but might I add:

Worst HUD ever! ...it is tererible, my god and to think me and my mate were both going to buy this game as something to hang out and do, and to also beleive we were relatively optimistic and excited..

Thanks for that Demo Silicon Knights, "An RPG to Disapoint the World" *pukes a little* (lol not really, just annoyed that the good game drought continues, this was supposed to be a time filler dammit!)
