ps3 trouble, PLZZ HELP

sexyturtlemonke · 06-10-2009, 01:33 PM

my ps3 will only play a game if i shut my online off. so for instance, if i have online on, then the game will freeze before the main menu. so i cant play any games online. and also, ever since this last firmware update, i have been unable to quit games, or shut down the console from the home button without my ps3 freezing. so ultimately, when i try to update my games, it has to quit, which it cant so it just freezes. it does the same when i push the home button to see the menu. is this MY ps3 or the firmware problem? and what do you suggest i can do 2 fix it.

Firmware problem, PS3's latest Firmwares have been bricking many PS3s for some reason. The best thing to do here is to hit up Sony, that's the only way to fix a Firmware malfunction as of now.

Try installing an older version of the Frimware.
If that does not work then your PS3 is defective, give it back to Sony and get a new one.
