Oh gentleman! We (here in my neck of the woods) are currently in the midst of "Hot August Nights"... A week long celebration in Reno, NV, celebrating all things Hot Rod and American vintage and muscle. To see that one special car as the sun reflects off the metal flake and candy paint brings me instantly back to being 8 years old opening a brand new Hot Wheels masterpiece... It really makes me appreciate this league and what it stands for. It is more than just gaming and competition, it is a true love of automobiles. Man, I can't wait to race the Camaro!

You didn't get overlooked, your name is on the 'available drivers' list on the first page.

Full reset #5 didn't fix it. Still telling me my memory is corrupted and keeps restoring system, restarts, tells me I need 2.07 for GT5, then memory needs restoring, and repeats the cycle. I think the machine is hosed. The wireless DS controllers are not being recognized either.
Even worse, I figured out what email I used for the home and son's account, but I cannot figure out which of my emails I used for Handlebar-Man. Adding insult to injury, I think I even made up a birthday on that account to get a prize ticket, and of course, that is the method Sony uses to verify your account for a password reset...
This would be funny if it were not so annoying.
Good Morning, everyone.

It may not be your whole machine, Handlebar, but just the hard drive. I know you can replace that independently.
I'm no tech guru, though, I just get by, so you might want to google your problem. It's surely happened to someone else before.
Sucks about your account info, though.

I'm sorry. I wondered why you posted the second time. Wasn't sure if I misspelled your PSN ID.

Fortunately, she only had a spider bite, ugly, but not too bad. Figured out the email that has Handlebar-Man, but not the password or birthdate I used.
Replacement hard drives are not seemingly immediately available. And there's the cost/benefit balance - the range is about $80-$130 for a 200-500 size drive that should fix the problem vs $299 for all new. The drive does seem stupidly easy to replace, but I'm not in my "patient place", I suppose. I'll got get a new set once daughter is settled down.
I had a 3D/MOVE combo, so those features should work on any of the new PS3 combos I purchase, right?
[Found new 320 G replacement drives for $50 at local computer supply shop - giving that a try first]
// new HD installed, testing on main acct, but I am hopeful... //
{{ System works... but now maps load wonderful fast, cars accelerate just fine until... 88 mph, then they run into glue... blech... }}

Good news about your daughter
For the new unit, if you don't need the HD space, the 160GB keeps $50 in your pocket. That's what I did when making my rig space (wife did not want to give up the old fat as she uses PSN for movies). BUT, if your PS3 has no other issues apart from the HD, I'd change just the HD. My new slim is not as good as my fat, and I think it is unit to unit and not generation to generation, so stick with one that is working well (my 2¢).
And I think the Move should just transfer over if you do go new. As you can buy it as an add-on, I imagine it just transfers when connected.

Somewhere in that thread, I said I would be a driver if there was a second class. I don't see myself on the drivers list. I guess what I'm asking is if I tune and drive, do we have enough for a second division right now? If that's the case, I would like to drive as well as tune.
