pakgamers plz help me with my problem. i bought a brand new 40 gb PS3 about 2 weeks ago. today while playing call of duty world at war it got stuck and i tried to shut it down but it was unresponsive.

anyways now none of my games play..... the ps3 just shows the little loading icon on the top right corner of the screen.

whats the problem here?

check the HDD flash, it's blinking or not? or it's just stucked?

try starting ur ps3 without disc and see it's working or not. if it works i think u can try formatting ur system but i'm not sure that it will solve ur problem or not plus it will remove ur data. beware

I'm facing a problem with my PS3. I downloaded Burnout Paradise from PSN and started to install it. During install lights went out. After starting my PS3 again I saw a corrupted data icon in games section. I tried to delete it but could not do so. It says something like error 8011xxxxxx. I installed the game and it installed without any problem. I updated and started the game and there are no problems.

But the corrupted data icon is still there. I cannot delete it and even can't see how much space it is taking as PS3 keeps on calculating size when I click on information. Is there any way to remove the corrupted data (other then formatting the harddisk). I don't care how much space it is taking (I still have 109GB free space ) but it just looks bad.

Well one of the game is motostorm and other is Resistance 2.

The problem is they are giving only gulf warranty and if i had to claim the Warranty i have to send it to dubai.
Second i m worried that is there are any chances of Bad Quality like (2 no. Maal :P) plus how can i check weather i m buying a correct machine or not...as in pakistan it was a easy job but here is Ksa they dont know Jack about Electronics plus they only speak Arabic

so just tell me what are the things i have to check at the time of buying ...

Thanks...
