[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 5871224, member: 3887"] Thanks for the replies, folks. The link to the Bioware forums was interesting. My experience was very similar to the OP's: some disk chugging, black screen freeze in the Citadel elevators, then the big shut-down after the Asari mission. Thing is, I got my PS3 to boot once after than, and it passed the file system check, no corruption (and stayed on long enough for me to copy some saves). I never received a "hard drive not found" error -- though that thread did confirm the old 60GB models *will* boot with a bad drive, which makes sense since the OS doesn't reside on it. As of this morning, my PS3 won't boot at all. After a second I get 3 beeps and then it shuts down. Repeated this several times. So whatever ME3 might do to the hard drive, I'm doubting that's the problem. Bad power supply, bad Blu-ray, and heat damage to the motherboard (it's definitely not overheating now, I've been trying to boot it --literally-- cold) are all sounding like likely contenders at the this point. I think it's time for a trip to Best Buy after work. A friend and I might take a look inside of the dead unit for laughs over the next few weekends -- who knows? If we can somehow get it running again I'll give it to his kids. Again, thanks. [/QUOTE]
