It froze (w/ vertical white lines) after I played about 20 minutes today. Fuckin unreal. The ps3 is 2.5 years old, and I hadn't touched it in the last 6 months except to play The Last of Us dlc which came out this past Friday.
I waited an hour and tried turning it back on but got nothing but a blank screen. I tried a new hdmi and resetting the video output to no avail. Anyone know whats wrong with it? I've been reading online and it sounds like the gpu is dying/dead. Is it fixable?
Now I have a delema on my hands. Dark Souls 2 is coming out in a few weeks and it was going to likely be the last ps3 game I'd get before transitioning into the next gen. I have a laptop capable of handling Dark Souls 2 but I'd much rather play on console bc of the pvp community. Also, I have it pre ordered (for ps3), tho I likely can cancel it. What should I do?
