Thats my fat PS3 packed in.

So looks like i need to get a new one.

Quick question

Will i still be able to get my stealth cars back on new PS3 if i use same log in or that me lost them?

 

[alextehkid]

If you got them from PSN store then yes, you should. I cannot confirm this, however..

All downloads, including DLC, will be listed under the "downloads section" in your PSN account. I believe you can re-download everything on up to 5 different PS3's.

Nice one. Raging too! Had 4 million saved up and was on lvl 24.

Do you think puttin the harddrive from this PS3 into the New one would work?

 

[Tornado]

No. It will ask you to reformat it when you turn the second PS3 on.

I can confirm all your download history is saved to your PSN profile, so it's all safe, the drive however will be formatted when you put it into a new system. I know from experience. Took me three days to download all my DLC. The Phats are dropping like flies these days

you cannot copy the GT5 game save, so you cant back up files....

if you can get it back on i would explain what happened to my friends and send all your best cars to friends as gifts and have them give them back when you get a new system......

ps: you can only send one car a day to a friend

Try fixing it. I followed this guy's instructions:

You could fix your PS3 backup your stuff and put it on a new PS3 or keep gaming with the fixed PS3. I've had to do this twice to my PS3 and it's still going strong.

Finished an hour ago all process as described in the video you mention and it works fine!
What am I doing now? Taking a backup of course!

 

[willstuart]

I don't have a heat gun.

I got so spooked by all the stories about YLOD, I went out and bought a new PS3. Am transferring data from one to the other as I type this. My first generation fat PS3 has given me many years of enjoyment - now its time to retire.

 

[chimuel]

They're cheap! You don't have to get the heat gun he has... just pick one up at your local hardware shop.

Nice to know someone found it useful!

Keep your old hard drive, when the new ps3 comes, ghost your old one onto the new one.
