Has any of you guys ps3's just crashed on the XMB and you have to turn the power off?. It is really frustrating when I see that the hard disc may be corrupt come up when I reboot my ps3, anybody else have similiar issues with the ps3 like this?

[GraphiteGB]

Nope. never have the XMB crash Its the other software that fails to shut down.

Like....

Red button app from BBC sport. (first tripple beebs reset today)

Iplayer.

Play memories ( This crashed on face book uploader )

Video editor. ( Uploading to youtube.com)

XMB solid as ever.  

[stevie85]

Opposite for me software plays like a charm, then randomly the XMB will crash

Might be worth running safe mode and run options 3 and/or 4. 

Safe mode.

That stupid internet search option crashes the system almost every time i use is so gave up in the end

So whilst playing Black Op's your PS3 froze once !!.....seriously

And from this your conclusion with the Xbox is better based on one crash whilst in a P2P Ram heavy game....oh dear god

dont feed the troll...

as said earlier in this thread use the 'save mode' (recovery mode) and do step 3 and 4 once a month... that should keep your xmb healthy...

My XMBS never crashed .. well, from what I can remember!

My internet search option works fine ( although it loads so slowly! ).

...whereas mine has crashed twice this last week.

Once submitting a report for a scam message (heavy...) and once when I cancelled a trophy sync.
