My PS3 has Died
Discussion
Gutted. Started it up and it beeped at my 3 times and switched off with the red light flashing at me.
BUT
i rang the nice people at Sony and they are sending out a new one, even though i bought it on the release date (nearly 2 years ago).
Problem is GT5P is inside (which i cant get out), and i have lost all my game saves and game updates.
EDIT: i dont know how the get the daft grin off, thats not how i feel!!!)

Swap the old hdd into the new ps3, back it up onto something, slap the new drive back in and copy the backup on 
when they pick the dead one up they are giving my the new one, so i wont have chance.The backing it up sounds interesting though. is there a way of doing it, considering i cant get onto the cross media bar or anything?

Of course this is assuming the hdd isn't what's caused yours to die in the first place!

Well you can copy your save games on to a usb stick and back on to the new machine.
Don't ask me how though, I did it once and it was mainly by accident! But you can do it.
Do however make sure that your "old" ps3 is fully updated (both machine and games) before doing the saves as otherwise when you come to try to use them on the "new" machine they won't work. Both machines need to be at the same point in evolution update wise. The simple way to do this is make sure both are up to date.

you can download map packs and stuff from the psn store up to 6 times, you can swap thing with people that way too, just be sure to change your pasword aftwards if you do 
that's nice to know. so i take it my PSN id and details are on the Sony servers and not the HDD. and i will change my pass word just in case when i get the new one. Thanks for thatwildoliver said:
