I remember back in the day, a couple of months ago actually, when my ps3 performed flawlessly.  I've just found myself thinking back to those days and remember the hundreds of games, downloaded games, netflix movies, tv shows, blu rays, music cds, and dvds that my family and I have enjoyed over the years with our ps3.

Mine was an old ps3.  I remember because I just found the box with its $499.99 price sticker on it.  It was one of the 60 gb backwards compatible models.  They sure don't make em like they used to *sniffing to hold back tears*

Man was I excited to play ME3, and it was living up to my expectations too for about 16 hours.  I could overlook the framerate stuff but when the game started crashing my faithful old machine things got worrisome.  I went through 5 or 6 crashes, the kind that require your system to ckeck itself for damage after restarting, and decided to put the game to the side until this new patch arrived.

That was 2 weeks ago and now my ps3 crashes when I try to use netflix.

That was 1 week ago and now my ps3 craches when I turn it on.

2 days ago I proclaim, "yay the patch has arrived to save the day!!!"  My ps3 actually started up, let me start me3 and d/l the patch.  "Sweet , I'm finally gonna give those Reapers what for!" I'm taken to the me3 game menu after the d/l and old faithful crashes, never to be awoken again.

Now I'm no programmer or anything of the sort but how on earth can a piece of software ruin the hardware it's being run on?  Did bioware sell me a virus? Naughy bioware. 

I mourn the loss of my old friend, and have started this topic for any others whose have lost their ps3 to the sensless, irresponsible programming of bioware.  Thanks for listening.

I would guess it was caused by overheating. The ps3 was forced to stream the data off the disc the entire time because there's no install of game data. After a few hours of a laser constantly burning on the disc it gets hot as well as the laser itself. Which in turn heats up the rest of your ps3 and causes bad stuff to happen, like freezing and forced restarts. Bioware is totally to blame for your ps3 not working. There should have been a mandatory install for the ps3 version of me3 like there was for me2. I know someone who was forced to reformat their hdd because me3 kept crashing. He said his ps3 works again it's not as good. You should at least try to reformat your hdd if can/haven't already. After the third crash I stopped playing me3. I will also never buy a bioware game again.

As of this writing, my PS3 just died.

BIOWARE, PLEASE MAKE AN INSTALL PATCH ASAP!!!!!

The PS3 by design will flag any "hard crashes (gameos, vsh etc)" and checks the hdd/flash by default. And what do you mean "died"? Can you not even boot it into the recovery?

Yep..I never got any problems when playing the campaign on my first playthrough or on MP, but on my second playthrough, the frame rate I was getting was making me turn off my PS3 because it was too laggy.

Also, on MP, the NEVER ENDING " Joining Game Session " before Patch 1.02 forced me to do a reset a few times. I was getting very worried. Hasn't happened, but only because I haven't played with my friendly team in a while.

 When I turn the system on and it is warming up by the time it gets to that little "Warning" message, it dies.  Is there something I can do to get past that?

Boot it into recovery and try to do a restore from there, goode news is that your not exactly bricked but semi it seems, some of your flash has been corrupted and gameos isn't loading. Try recovery, file restore, or maybe even a format although I doubt that would be the case since even if it was your hdd the xmb would still load and then crash depending on if it was a hdd issue. You can google getting into recovery and everything available there. You may even have to reinstall the most current firmware.Don't worry, if you are on 4.11 you can install it again in recovery over the top. That may be, after all, your only option if your flash is corrupted. I think thats it, the chain of trust got that far after all..oh and as far as I know about this a game can't brick your PS3, it just doesn't get the access to do that, but it can surely screw some things up.. Cooked PS3 folder EA!! (its the name of a massive hdd crashing folder btw with lots and lots of "stuff" in it, Loool.

I've entered recovery mode and reset the file system and my ps3 has seem to come back to life for the moment.  Don't know if it will last but something is better than nothing, so I thank you Mr.(or Ms.)Richlando.  Your advice is much appreciated.

Here's a helpful link if someone, like me, didn't know that recovery mode existed till 10 minutes ago.

Oh and as of now that nasty mass effect 3 disc has been removed from the playstation and will never see it again.  I will leave the fate of the galaxy in the more than capable hands of all of you fine folks.

Glad to be of assistance. :)But I assure you that the game won't harm your PS3 beyond a simple repair (flash,hdd files) your BD drive is another story, its at least possible to burn that out, highly unlikely. Maybe trade your copy to your local Gamestop (?) get some PSN cards and go digital with ME3. Not perfect, still buggy internally driven but at least you would get some ME3 playtime if your cautious about a physical copy. Just a thought..

My PS3 will no longer play disc games it will play dvd movies but not games all this started after all the hard resets ME3 caused me to do and my games work fine on my friends PS3 his won't even work on my PS3 thay start and play for a few minutes then just quit and freeze. Anybody have any suggestions?

[known_hero]

Bioware, this is a serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately. I try to give this game another shot and it froze again. My PS3 had to fix itself.

Fix this!!!!

A few days ago there was a trade-in your old ps3 for a new one at sony. You only need to pay 100 or something. Don't know if that has expired or not.

My game only froze for 3 or 4 times, once in MP. could be my ps3 is only about 1 year old, but I never had any problem with any other game before.

ME3 has effectively killed off the ps3 that i had since launch day. it worked perfectly with every other game I had, MW, BC1, BC2, MW2, ME2, and even Skyrim. Then came along my much anticipated ME3. I was excited at first, but then the frame rates fell after the third playthrough and other games froze when they never would, then 2 days ago, while beating the asari monastery mission, it freezes, beeps, then yellow lights on me. Unfortunately, I had no backups, so I lost all my data. Luckily, i got a new ps3 slim, but now the ME3 trophies reset on me. To think I was so excited for this game...
