PS3 restore question - Blu-ray Forum

youth83 · 11-11-2007, 06:40 AM

Ok since im having a problem with my PS3 not playing any disk, Im planning on restoring the PS3 system which will delete all of my downloaded files. I have a question though, one of my downloaded files is a game that I bought, can I still re download this for free after im done restoring since I paid for it already? thanks

It should be saved under your account yes. I think all you have to do is go to your account in the PS Store and go to purchases or something like that and then re-download.

Go to Account Management, there is an option there to view everything you've ever downloaded and you can download titles you have paid for up to 4 times I believe.

So you should be absolutely fine to reset your PS3 then download everything again.

If you do a Full Restore, do you need a backup file or is it saved on the PS3 already and it will just load it from there? I am thinking I have to do a full restore (not a big deal since I don't have anything saved really) to get a disc working again. But I don't want to select the system restore and have it just not work after that point because I didn't create a backup.

I think you might also want to try to clean it too. Use a compressed air canister on the vents and a low powered vacuum on them too. Make sure to wipe it down every so often as well. It might help if the restore doesn't. Good luck.
