Yup, my PS3's hard drive had some corrupted data on it, and in order to start the system properly (ie. to be able to play games), my hard drive had to be wiped. Yipee. About 5 months of gaming, and trophies, gone. Well I guess on the plus side, I get the incentive to go back to MGS4 and get some of the more prestigious emblems, and my PSN account and the Firmware 2.42 remain, which is good. Sorry guys, had to rant about this somewhere :P

Ash.
