This is some news that has affected myself and also a few other people that I know, lets find out if its just a small number of people or a much wider issue with the Playstation 3.
Since updating to firmware 2.41 from 2.40, my Sony PS3 crashes a lot and this has happened in games like Call of Duty 4 (as reported before). At first I felt this may be an issue with COD4 and the recent firmware, but after hearing from others having crashes with COD4 it may not be the case.
Recently the hard drive needed restoring as the PS3 would not even boot up, as the settings were back up to an external hard drive, this process was painless.
After the problem with the hard drive, we are thinking that this could be an issue with the hard drive being damaged in some way and I have heard of this before.
Has your hard drive ever packed up on your Sony PS3?
The good thing with the Sony PS3 is the hard drive; it’s really easy to just slip another much larger drive in. Many gamers have installed drives of 250GB into their PS3 and receive the benefits of a much larger hard drive.
With the movie download service launching for the PS3, it is time to upgrade our PS3 drives to have all this content stored internally thanks to a larger drive.
