PS3 number 3 has been acquired. No drive noise on this one so it works perfectly. But I have to redo gt6 again maybe this time I can do start and forget it. I'll see tonight after kiddos bedtime.

Well set it and forget it didn't work and when I checked the system the store gave me the wrong unit as replacement. I returned a 500 gig and got a 230 back. Now I need to call and talk to them and see about getting A the money back on the price diff for the units or B returning the unit and getting the correct one and reinstalling everything again. Or just returning it and ordering one online and getting the super duper package upgrade.

It sounds like your in need of a new PS3 machine that will be a clean slate for you to start with. You pay for what you get in this world so you might as well get the best.

Bro save your money and buy a PS4.

If the ps4 was backwards compatible we would go for it but all the games we have and like are PS3 and we don't have the funds to also buy a bunch of games too

Just called the store they have three more units in store that we can exchange for so just need to get back and swap it.

Is it a new unit this time? or do you mean that you will get three units to take home to test out?

New PS3's cost 250-300 so this a refurb again. The problem with refurbished is often the stress testing can't be done to find out if it's just a format and box it or tear it down and clean/repair it trade in so have to be willing to return multiple units to get one that's working correctly

Taking into account the exchange rate between the US & Aussie $, I find that's a lot of $ for a refurb We can get brand new 500Gb here for under $250.
I just hope the next one you plug in at home is the answer to all your problems.

So can we $249.99
Refurbished run $179.99 for a 500gig.
Due to having two consecutive failures the store gave me another controller(Pre-owned) and a $20 bucks off a pre-owned game 👍
So got the last Ratchet and Clank. Into the Nexus.

Update on "new PS3" it downloaded everything but is hanging up on final install gonna try again tonight if it hangs gonna do the 6 at a time method. That should work it's just annoying cause I can't set it and forget it.

I admire your endurance, patience & tenacity with this. Again, good luck.

 

[Otaliema]

set it and forget it didn't work so doing the 6 at a time method. it worked on the first unit. prolly would have worked on the second. so it should work on the third unit. After this I'm finding a way to backup the data. 36 hours of install time is brutal.

If it wasnt for bad luck....you wouldnt be
having any.. hope it turns around soon.

 

[shaunm80]

Your Ford GT40 '66 is a great tune for the 500PP SH seasonal event.. I managed a 1.09.7xx in it but there is another second or two to gain on that lap still.

That sounds positive. Only a few more to go and your back on the GT6 road again.

Indeed it is I got past the 1.10 problem so should be able to DL the rest one shot

 

[Otaliema]

Title says it all GT6 is finally installed fully save file loaded and confirmed to be intact. So I am back in the game.
I thought I was going up have near zero playtime starting tomorrow but looks like I will have plenty.
Tunes will start back in slowly have some catching up to do

Free time is never free cause you generally have to put something else off
If you haven't yet and get a chance take the M3 GTR for a spin and the Huraya that I will be posting later they are some great cars.

 

[Otaliema]

Brand spank'n new tune up for use. It will run 1:37's constantly at Trial Mountian with no effort at all.
Elise 111R '04 Race SH tires 450 PP.
Add a turbo and remove ballast to bring it up to 500PP.
Take it for a spin. and not literally. 👍

New seasonal tune for Tsukuba Impreza WRX STI spec C '09 500 PP TT set up.

It is nice being back. I seem to have gotten a bit faster maybe my old PS3 was holding me back a bit

 

[fbccars924]

Hey Ota!!!!, guess who's back!!!!

 

[Otaliema]

Hey Ota!!!!, guess who's back!!!!

Awesome! Welcome back been way too long man.

 

[fbccars924]

I know man. Let me get on my feet in game and we'll have to tear up Trial Mountain again. The new physics are getting to me but as soon as I can I am recreating my old Lotus and the DTM Merc.
