There will be a Back-Up function

[tourist]

I Just read on a german Blog that our kind Yamauchi-san is realeasing a patch in the end of month which should allow us to back-up our saves.

Dont have any idea how it will work.. but at least something!

Thanks!!

Thats good to know. No one wants to lose a save file.

 

[BloodyJesus]

Thats good news

If we do a backup using the backup utility, will the savegame be backed up if I install a new hdd and restore it?

 

[tourist]

not sure about that!
but you can transfer you saves with a cable from ps3 to ps3 which works 100% for the saves.

On the other hand i'm not looking forward to online racing being nothing but users with the Redbull X1 once a save file with that car shows up on gamefaqs.com

well i think they will find a way to keep the protection..

As someone who got a YLOD two days ago, at least I know it's now worth getting my PS3 repaired jst for the data!

Has anyone ever tried to fix a YLOD themselves? It seems that the most common issue causing the YLOD is either the CPU or GPU separating from the board. It seems ridiculous to have to spend $150 to have Sony fix it. At that price I would definitely attempt this fix myself.

I've seen several Youtube videos explaining how to fix this yourself.

If you go through Sony you will likely get a different PS3 back.

Yes, fixed mine(60gb fat) after I got YLOD while playing GT5 a week ago, and its been working for a week now. Trying to limit my playing with 1-2 hours then at least a hour break. followed this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70SgRDVcBo

Yup, fixed mine too, Fat 40Gb, just tear the thing into pieces, warm it up, replace thermal paste and put it back together... have been playing gt5 for the past week, every day for many hours, no prob so far
