dude! you are very unlucky! mine happened last year, on the release of GT5, so i hadnt had time to play it
 
People ask for help and go AWOL on this planet apparently.
@ who ever feels spoken too: i treat others, just as i like to be treated myself.
Greetings stano666 :)
 
I can only send gears :lol: don't worth 🤬 for driving or getting cash, but hey, free stuff is better than nothing :D
 
Wouldn't your game data still be on your harddrive?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure YLOD doesnt affect the hard drive....
You could pull it out, connect it to a pc or even your new PS3 with a adapter and get your data.
 
Not going to work for two reasons, first of all each PS3 hard drive is keyed to that PS3, put it in another and it won't recognise it and it'll simply try to format the drive wiping all data. Secondly the hard drive format is one peculiar to the PS3 and simply putting it into a PC won't work because the PC can neither read not recognise it. Putting it into a USB enclosure won't work either because the PS3 will only read FAT32 formatted external hard drives. Actually, thats three reasons. Sony have pretty much covered all the bases.

FR Nitrous_ox, I'll give you any ticket you want, suggest lvl 23 is best, just dupe it and you'll have stacks of top cars.

Also any cars you need to race, I'll share so you can get started, also use the borrow glitch if you want.

Also try the hairdryer trick, (heat up PS3 with hairdryer, then cool down) and when you get the PS3 started, use an external fan behind the PS3, to keep it cool. Will help prolong YLOD from comming back.

Tried both the hair dryer to the full reflow trick and still nothing. Due to the 200% bonus and the DLC X2011 Ive managed to get quite far (Level 26 A Spec level 22 B spec). Thanks for the ticket offer. How do you dupe the tickets?

I'm new to all this. I just started not long ago and am at level 31. I want all cars at 0/0/0 and I'd appreciate any help. It'd be great if everyone sent me one car a day. But I guess that's just wishful thinking. If these darn restrictions weren't here I'd be one of those 100 account guys sending cars to myself. But again, since I've only recently bought the game...Is like to help others but I'm not even in a position to help myself. And I'd love to trade something for something but I don't have much. Guess no one would just say to me "It's the thought that counts."

Tell you what, I will send you the Ford RS200 Ive got so you can have company for your RS Rally cos im nice like that and have got lucky out of the UCD recently!

Before someone says it...

OP requests cars for free
OP then starts giving out cars for free

I'm collecting 0/0/0 cars. I wanna aim for a complete set of 0/0/0 cars, then duplicate them, so that I can fang the second set around while still having the first set in pristine condition. If your RS200 is from the UCD then don't worry about it. But then thanks anyway mate. Yeah, I know I'm abit eccentric. I did it in GT4 too & that's why I didn't get GT5 til now since I know how crazy I can be.:dunce: lol
 
This problem seems to be stupidly common right now on these forums, i wonder when the scamming imitators will start making these threads...

Amen to that! Sorry if it really happened but how are we to know? 1st off you should have been backing up on a USB and if you aren't, well it's your fault. We aren't responsible for sending you new cars because you don't want to start over since it's "too hard" I feel moderators should put an end to threads like these, but that'smy opinion.

I actually did lose my save one day and didnt ask nobody for nothing. Now im aspec27, bspec40, 300 cars, all dlc, and recollecting all gear and tickets.

All in a month and a half. Thats what real gt5 players do after losing a save....learn your lesson, suck it up, dont ask for nothing, and get to grinding.
 
I think its fair enough that people should be allowed to ask for stuff but im fed up of seeing this problem again and again at the moment especially from newbies asking for anything and everything, (i bet my ps3 breaks soon now that ive commented on this -_- but i have a backup lol) as i heads up if i lose my data i'll be asking for paints and cars i enjoy using which would make more sense than asking for everything else... or more likely id stop playing GT5 lol.

I thought id stop playing it when i lost mines, i even tried to move on by buying the new forza4 but i just couldnt stay away from gt5 and forza just didnt cut it.

Now that im back on my feet ive made 4 saves backup. Im fully ready for a loss now.

Yes, maybe asking for a few cars. Not at all should you ever be asking for 0/0/0 cars. That could be a hint aa a scammer

I keep 2... 1 daily with my trades and one weekly just in case on 2 different USB sticks...

And I dont mind sometimes helping even if its just horns or Museum Cards... Cars are harder for me to part with though that is what everyone seems to want...

Yeah but sometimes it just gets stupid seeing people beg especially when you know their lying.

How hard is it to just play the game?

Why buy the game with the intention to go online or on gtp just to beg? This is a good game and i think there is alot to see for a noob offline and online. explore gt from scratch to riches, do some seasonal, try golding all your trophys in A and B spec, and much more. Have fun with this great game. Dont spend money and go ask someone to please gift you a buuuuugooootti veeeeeyron (noob).

Or come on here with one post saying you lost your data, heeeeeeeeeeelllllp.

It gets stupid
 
Obviously you guys posting these negative remarks don't wanna share. Seriously, why do you guys bother? I'll help whoever I can. The only problem is I'm just not that far advanced in the game and don't actually have enough time to play. If you negative people know where the Pause button for life is, please tell me. Then I'd push it, and have plenty of time to play!
 
To all the trolls who have posted in here without looking at the content, you will notice that I said I wasn't bothered about getting cars anymore because I got my 200% log in bonus and blitzed the races in my X2011 which has nearly done 1,400 miles already. I'm at 27 on a spec and 23 on B spec and am getting my cars back on my own slowly but surely. Got a GT-one last night in the UCD. Read before casting judgement
 
maybe you can mark this thread then completed or
maybe Mods should close this thread 👍
 
Nobody's forcing you negative people to help out. If you can't help, don't bother posting UNHELPFUL comments. Simple? NO?!? Too HARD for you to comprehend? Well, I've done my best. You negative nancy's are one your own.

As JK said im kind of left wondering why this is still open then?

@cby wait until you've been on here a while and you'll see how often a scam pops up and why people may not be so willing to send.
