No, sorry, I haven't heard of that before. Do you have PS+? If so, it could be that it turned on to update over night when something happened.
Does it not turn on at all anymore?

No PS+. I managed to get it to do a fan test to eject my disc, but it switches right off and goes back to blinking red light. I think it's dead, or at least dead enough that a replacement will be easier than a repair. Is there any way to transfer data from a dead console?
Yeah, I've got a spare enclosure, I was thinking more savegame stuff since most of those are locked these days. Stupid trophies.
Could you just put the old HDD in to a new PS3...?
Obviously not then...
Maybe try contacting Sony about repairs or recovery

PS3 hdd stuff is encrypted or whatever iirc so you can't get it off onto a pc. And putting the drive into another PS3 doesn't work either cos it will auto format it.
You're kinda boned if you haven't/can't back up the drive unfortunately
Bugger. This is a bit frustrating.
Huh? I don't use origin!
Yup.
Don't send it straight to Sony either cos they won't retrieve the data for you. If you really need that savedata, best thing to do is find a console repair place that can fix it for cheap-ish, back up the stuff and get a new one.
Also this is going by my experience from like 4 years ago so things may have changed. Call around and check etc
Yeah. I think I'll just buy a new one this weekend and see how I go with losing the save data. I think I'll be okay except for a few games which were bitches to get a completed endgame save for.
So, what's the best deal on a PS3 at the moment?
Actually I do have an Origin account. It is TT_Omi

You sort of only have a couple of options right now, I'm sorry.
1) If you want/need your save data you will need to get it to power on long enough or frequently enough (whichever is possible) to back up your save data. Then send it to a repairer/Sony. Sony only sends back referbs and will not back up your data. Or transfer the save data to a new PS3.
2) Get a new PS3 and start over.
If there's one thing that Sony really screwed regarding harddrives is pairing of harddrives to the one console. You really should be able to take your hardrive out or transfer over data easily like the 360.
I don't suppose you recently performed a backup?
I'm really sorry, Dead Man

I assume it is from buying 2 EA games on Steam... Alice and Need for Speed.

Fucked if I know dude. 'Only on Origin' feature.
That is what it says my Origin ID is! You Jintor on there? Sent a request anyways.
Yeah, most likely, I have Mass Effect account of some description linked it seems, but it doesn't appear in my games list, of course.

I've got a date tonight with the missus to see the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra play 2001: A Space Odyssey, so I'll have to pass. I don't have anything planned for the weekend though, so one of the three days I should be free.
$5.99 on GoG.com and $19.99 on Steam
You should be able to grab CD keys from EA games on Steam and put them in to Origin.

Much like twins, ears also have a strong connection with each other and can feel the other's pain.

This was actually kind of what I was thinking. Like when people without limbs can feel pain where there was a limb. Or My left ear is tired of being slept on (can't sleep on my right side).
Can I be put down as a "maybe, if I get this homework done"?

i said no spoilers just a casual hands up would suffice
I'll take that as A yes, because, procrastination.
While it is certainly weird, the body can mirror pain and also some benefits to the opposing part of the body. I've read a couple of things where scientists are somewhat beginning to understand and investigate this further.
How's your sleeping going with that piercing? I want to get that same piercing at some point but have heard from many sources how much of a pain cartilage piercings can be. I've heard many times that it might seem healed for ages and the slightest bump can set it off again, since cartilage piercings take a very long time to heal. And all you can do is sea salt soaks to help the healing process.
Travel pillows are meant to be great to keep the piercing from touching anything in your sleep. I bought a Total Pillow after hearing many people say how great they are.
Edit: On that topic, my stretched ears are still healing. I guess that should be expected when you go from no piercing to a 6mm hole in under a minute.

This is the weirdest thing I have read all day. It reads like a narration box in a golden age superman comic.
Doh. Sorry to hear mega. Did you get escorted out? ;p
