Hey Pristine you can back up your HDD IIRC, and use the memory card reader to write the saved games back into the PS2 memory card.

I can't do that now that the system won't turn on. I just got devil summoner 2 about 3 weeks ago so I haven't backed up yet unfortunately. I stupidly do it after completing my ps2 games.

wow sorry to hear that it must be a pain going through 2 consoles. I have not even broken my 360 twice yet. and when it broke I hated MS for like 3 months. How come you had to pay both times does it not come with a 3 year warranty when you buy?

Nope, it comes with 1 miserable year warranty which is why I appreciated M$ for the first time ever. The store offered to extend it to three years for $50-$100(can't remember) but I refused saying that sony stuff doesn't break...just like some of the guys on here ironically lol.

The worst part is that the refurb only came with a 90-day warranty...it's like they're not even sure of their own workmanship. And nobody could help, they're sorry but I still have to pay $150 again to play for 90 days...wow

Tease.

Unfortunately you can't do that.  PS3 HDDs are encrypted and tied to the PS3's ID.  So if you put it in a different PS3, it won't read the HDD, and will ask you to reformat.

Yea, as much as I like my PS3, I have to admit that there are some things that Microsoft and the XBox360 handle better.  I hate the huge markup Microsoft charges for their HDDs, but I do admire that the HDD isn't tied to a single XBox360.

Damn that sucks dude especially since you put your trust in Sony as a company and their product breaks on you.

Hopefully you will get your PS3 fixed soon.

Do you clean your PS3?
