@shadowoflight: I dont think I can. I have the super slim. And when I turn it on it goes to update or hard drive not detected. Ive tried holding the button until 2 beeps are heard but it doesnt work either

Hi guys im new here. I have a problem and am hoping you guys can help me decide on what to do.

A couple months ago I tried updating my ps3 via usb because I dont have home internet. I had just gotten a new hard drive and installed it without a problem. Anyways I put in the usb and started the update but it failed at around 40% I retried it a couple times then looked up the error code on google. Found out it failed because the bluetooth/wifi didnt work and it was now going to be in an infinite loop. I searched up ways to solve it and decided to try to format the harddrive on my pc. (Cant remember what I used to do that) I put it back in but it still failed. I tried formatting again on the computer thinking maybe I skipped a step. But when I put it back in the ps3, the ps3 wouldnt detect it.

So my question is. Is there a way to fix this or should I just buy a used ps3. And if I buy a ps3 and put in the hard drive, would it format it on its own even though the original ps3 couldnt detect it?

I think my first pc game was dig dug deeper, pacman, or kao the kangaroo.

I was born in 95 and I remember playing videogames with my mom when I was maybe around 4. Not sure what we had first though. It was either yoshi's story and mariokart 64 or super mario bros 3 for the nes

My first ps game was a spiderman game. I think it was a ps1 game and played it on my ps2. Got them both one christmas
