Just wondering, if it dies how do you keep your downloads and all, on the 360 we just keep the HD on it as it detach from the top but the PS3 isn't it internal ?

You take an external laptop HDD or thumb drive, insert it in the USB drive, use the back up option in settings, save any saved games you want, and save any downloads you want to keep. Then when you get a new HDD or reformatted HDD, you just copy everything over.

Um... you can give it 2 days and leave it off. Then try to turn it on and see........
I think it's best to just give SCE a call.

I think that is the HDD stopped being read from error, so it might not be the actual PS3 it might just be the HDD or it just over heated.
