So you're not dead!
My PS3 is dieing. Not me.
I can't do much on PS3 anymore so my account on GTP is slowly becoming useless.
I'm hoping to play some COD and a couple of GT5 races on my deathbed.
just buy a cheap one one ebay. you got everything apart from you PS3. get all your data saved somewhere, and put it on a new ps3. the console alone may be quite cheap. Go to game and have a look, they were having huge sales a while back...
PS4 will come out next year. Just watch.
So you are going to spend a whole year staring at a wall?
What is actually wrong with your ps3?
