i feel sorry for you, nones consoles should die like that.

i had my orig brick ps2 for 5 years before i traded it in for a few 360 games, my gamecube only died during its last year and my xbox went on strong.

last gen the consoles were better

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

360 breaking is nothing new but wow I can't believe your PS3 broke. That's really rare. Tough luck.

I've only ever had 2 consoles break, Playstation 1 and 360.

I've tried a few things

- what Lafiel said
- what gamelover2000 said
- all the options in the recovery console

no luck...
I do realize however that when I'm trying to do the update and the PS3 restore, it bums out to the red screen before it reaches 100%.

I'm at an ends....thanks for the help and support T_T
I'll have to see what I can do to send it to the states.
As for the 360, I'll have a go at it.

I found the PS3 hates dust, the thing just seems to soak it up and then you can't get it out. My 3rd PS3 sounds like a hair dryer now, my dusty environment is killing it. Its not like I don't vacuum its just the dust here gets everywhere.

Tease.
