No, apparently it forces you to format it.

Just save them in a SD Card.CurlySaysX said:WTF!?
I was playing infamous today and my ps3 beeps 3 times and shuts down.
Now the thing doesn't stay on for longer than 5 mins.
Anyone know what is could be? I initially thought overheated but the fans don't spin up to MAX and it's a fairly cold day.
I might turn it back on in a few hours and back up my saves. Can anyone link me a guide on how to back up my game saves and how long does it take?
WTF? :*(

MidgarBlowedUp said:Really love how they made the my service code too long to fit in the boxes on the repair card I have to send in. Damn Sony you guys can't afford to print one extra square on a piece of paper?
You're fucked. The internal drive uses a proprietary file system and can't be accessed on normal PC's.The Take Out Bandit said:Okay guys, I got my PoS3 back, but it's a replacement unit. Different serial #.
I had a larger HD in my CECHA01 model, and kept my backup data on the original HD that came in the system using an external caddy.
Since Sony doesn't repair systems, I had to send back the original drive with the system which contained my backup data.
I have my previous PS3 system HD here; but when I connect it to my Mac it is unrecognized.
Is there any utility I can use to copy over some of my old game data, or am I just fucked?
Thanks.
Killthee said:You're fucked. The internal drive uses a proprietary file system and can't be accessed on normal PC's.
Why didn't you copy the backup folder in the backup drive to your PC before you sent it in?
Nope. The backup drive has to be formatted FAT32 for the PS3 to be able to use it and PC's can read FAT32 drives. The actual backup data is all split into chunks and placed under a folder titled Backup iirc.The Take Out Bandit said:I figured it was going to be unreadable by the machine as well. :\
Oh well. No big loss.
I guess it's a good thing this generation sucks so bad so I didn't lose a whole bunch of save game data. :lol :lol :lol

Well, if it's the blu-ray laser that's screwed, you might try this method of fixing it yourself, if you're up to it: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=70948McBacon said:They quoted me a £99 repair charge because its out of warranty. What say you GAF?
superbank said:My PS3 has started making a loud fan spinning or game disc spinning noise. I first noticed this while playing ICO (MGS4 BC 80GB sku). Is my PS3 going to die? Its pretty loud and distracting.

YoungHav said:Ok, I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Sony has a known failure rate with the blu ray disk laser, right? My shit died after 2yrs, so I'm out of the warranty. They want $150 to fix this, and whatever system they give me has only a 90 day warranty... when there's a known fucking malfunction in the hardware? So I potentially have to be shelling out $150 every 2yrs because these monkeys have a shit product? Amirite!?
Yeah. It's bullshit.Karma said:Is this correct? My PS3 stopped reading discs and is out of warranty. If the repaired PS3 breaks in 91 days I will have to pay another $150?
Played Ico recently on my 60GB PS3 and was pretty quiet. The loud noise of the fan is from the hot weather. Summer is comming, fans will start to spin faster to cool the machine off and that makes more noise. Nothing to worry about, just make sure the console is in a well ventilated place, if you put it in a closed space it will overheat.ShortBus said:All CD-ROM format PS2 games will sound like a 747 taking off.
Just something you have to get used to when playing older games.

Aske said:My PS3 died this morning. No warning at all; perfect performance until the end. I tried to turn it on, and it beeped three times, flashed yellow once, then started flashing the red light continuously. Is there any way that this could be a dead harddrive, or will I have to send the system in to Sony? I'm not crazy about making the effort since the machine was bought around launch and is well out of warranty. I'm sure it'll cost a chunk of change to fix, and there's no guarantee I'll get my system back, or even a replacement 60 GB. I'd hate to pay $150 or whatever for someone else's refurb.
Since the PS3 gets extremely heavy use in my household I might as well just buy a new $399 replacement, but it reaffirms my frustration about losing hardware backwards compatibility. I now lack the means to play SD PS2 games on my HDTV with PS3 upscaling that makes them look better than many of the Wii games on the market. That's not a dig at the Wii, but it's a fact that the Wii's aliased graphics put me off using the system. With PS3 smoothing, I had no problem going back to replay PS2 games. They may be soft, but there's not jaggy, and still very easy on the eyes.
I'll probably buy a new system, but send in the old one and hope to get a working 60 GB back.

Remy said:Just want to close out my experiences with a full report:
This was a launch 60GB unit, with a 250GB upgrade - that I had done without the drive caddy since I stripped the hell out of the screws. (Hey, it still worked.) Issue I was experiencing was that any optical drive media was crashing about 30 minutes in.
Opened case: 5/24 (Sunday, Memorial Day weekend)
Casket shipped: 5/27
Received casket: 5/29
Drop-shipped PS3 to Sony: 6/1
Sony receives PS3: 6/4
PS3 ships back from Sony: 6/9
PS3 received back: 6/12
So the whole process took 19 days (14 business days). The repair of the unit took 4 business days. The PS3 I got back was the exact same unit I sent in - same serial, so I won't have to go through getting my SingStar DLC reset. Optical drive is fine now, and they were kind enough to put my 250GB drive in a new caddy.
This is like night and day compared with what I had to go through for my RRoD in 2007. (Granted, I'm sure Microsoft has gotten better since then, but still.)
