its not madden, its the ps3 update from a couple days ago...but theres a new one already ? anyway, if not, just click on psn account setting first instead of quiting game and it will quit madden without all the junk happeningOriginally Posted by CLW
Good thing Madden BLOWS and I haven't even bothered firing up my GameFly rental of it so I'll just avoid it to save my PS3.
I'm hoping this hard drive enclosure helps my problems. I'll find out in a couple hours.
What's the new PSN update for?
Increases the cloud storage for PS+ members from 150MB to 1GB.
Primarily it's for PS+ users to upgrade from 150MB to 1GB for cloud storage.
I understand the concept of "cloud" but not really sure how I should use it for my PS3.
But then again I have a 1TB now so its not like space is an issue.
A lot of games use it to automatically upload newest game saves to the cloud. If your hard drive were to become corrupted or something else that would cause the data to be lost, you could just copy the latest saves from the cloud back to your hard drive and not have to restart everything. It's basically a backup.I understand the concept of "cloud" but not really sure how I should use it for my PS3.

Yeah basically without it, I'd lose 175 hours of play in my Skyrim save file.

SUCCESS!!!!!!!
Basically the fix was:
a) Get a HDD Enclosure and format and old SATA drive with your PC.
b) Put that formatted drive into your PS3 and let the system format and run a system update.
c) Shut off the PS3, swap in your current hard drive
d) Update to the latest system software.
And the best part, I didn't lose any data. Won't have to re-download all of the PSN games and etc.
As I OU said, I use it to preserve files that I really don't want to lose, like my ME2 game saves, inFamous game saves, etc.I understand the concept of "cloud" but not really sure how I should use it for my PS3.
But then again I have a 1TB now so its not like space is an issue.
Though with a full 1 GB, I might just set every game to auto-save and not even think about it in the future.

It fills up faster than you think. Because it will backup EVERY file with the game. I turned that option off and started saving individual files.

WTF? How did you manage to get a quote from over two years ago? Did you accidentally delete some of the ID of the line you were quoting or just create some really strange error?
Not sure. As far as I knew I was on tapatalk quoting Jeff.

Fixed it.
Well, yeah. That's why I haven't done it so far. I guess I really meant "set it with the games I care about". Obviously I'm not going to set it for PSN I don't give two craps about. But right now I'm really selective about what I manually copy up there. With a full gig, I can be a little less selective.
I'm still not likely to do it for, say, NCAA (because other than the profile and roster, most stuff can be re-created easily enough, and all those Heisman Challenge files would take up a ton of space), but like Ratchet & Clank? Or ME3 when I get it? Easier just to set those to the cloud.
He's special

Sony's never been that great about keeping redesigned video game hardware a secret, so it's no surprise that the much rumored PlayStation 3 model debuted this evening at Tokyo Game Show.
Sleeker and slimmer, the new PS3 comes in "charcoal black," but Japan gets the super-special "classic white" option. Sony says that the internal volume and weight of the new PS3 is less than half of the original system. It's 20 percent and 25 percent less volume/weight compared to the current PS3 Slim.
Different regions will see different versions of the systems along with different prices.
North America
250GB - $269 (Bundle Only) - September 25th
500GB - $299 - October 30th
Europe and PAL Territories
Flash Memory 12GB - 229 Euros - October 12th
500GB - 299 Euros - September 28th
Japan
250GB - 24,900 Yen - October 4th
500GB - 29,800 Yen - October 4th

What about the 1TB model?

Going back to the top loading drive, huh?
I don't see the point of this really. It's virtually the same price, so why even bother wasting time manufacturing the new design? Oh well, I don't need to buy one. I'm already on my 4th and just a month ago it became the first one to last more than a year and a week, and it's still chugging right along. Knock on wood.
That one only cost you less than $100What about the 1TB model?

It's odd I've owned all three PSs from basically launch and all 3 of them survived until I threw them away when I upgraded to the next-generation.
Everyone tells me I have the opposite happen of what happens for everyone else. I've had 2 360s and I've never had one break. I had a launch 360 last me clear up until I got my Gears of War 3 version slim last winter and the only reason I upgraded at that point was because of an amazing deal. It was still working just fine and so far my Gears one has been great...no problems.
On the flip side, I had a launch PS3 die after a year a couple days. I had another fat model die after a year and a few days. I then even went as far as having a slim die after only a year and 5 or 6 days. It was the bluray drive each and every single time. That's one of the reasons I can't wait until Microsoft and Sony both start becoming more accepting of digital content delivery.
