Please note that I am completely new to the PS3 - I just ordered one a couple days ago, but I've had nothing but trouble since.
First time I hooked it up, I got no picture. After repeatedly trying, I came to the conclusion that it was a bad AV jack. This is not the case, as I have since gotten picture on the rare occasions that it functions.
- When I got to the menu, there was no initial setup, there was already an account made by "Jinsun". I do not know if this is a default account with the new MGS4 80-Gig Bundle, which is what I bought, or if this is not so new after all.
- Constant freezing. The reason I got no picture was because it keeps freezing. Sometimes it won't even make it to the menu, sometimes it freezes at the menu.
- I have tried doing the system update, but it freezes before it gets anywhere.
- I have been able to get MGS3 working and God of War 2 working a couple of times, and it stays unfrozen until I shut it off. When I turn it back on, it's freezing again.
- MGS4 does not work. I made it to the opening cutscene of the game, and I am faced with freezing.
This is a brand new system, freshly ordered from gamestop.com. I don't want to get it exchanged or serviced if there's something I'm not doing correctly. I've checked the knowledge base and the FAQ on the main website, but I have not found anything very useful.
I would appreciate if anyone has any insight on if there's something I haven't done/need to do, or if someone can tell me emphatically that it needs serviced.
Thanks.
