Restore File System | PS3 Safe Mode / Recovery Menu | Video Walkthrough

How long does this take? Only 2 – 5 minutes. It’s a good thing to do if your having any issues with your PS3. Say for example your blu-ray drive having issues, trophy syncing, performance issues, etc. If your PS3 ever shut off due to a power outage or shut off due to a buggy game. This would be a wise thing to do. Basically what it’s doing is checking the PS3′s OS (operating system) for any corrupted files and restoring them if needed.

Let us know if this was helpful and what this may have fixed for you.

If your stilling having issues, I would try rebuilding the PS3 database.
I did a walkthrough on how to do that here. There are FAQ’s at the bottom of the post too.

[Double Points] Free Points Saturday With A Twist

Since the big Superbowl 47 bets are coming to close this Sunday. I would like to see as many bets as possible on this game. So going to do this a little different. You have to bet on all 4 Superbowl bets to unlock this FPS. Don’t worry the question will be VERY easy. The limit has been raised to 30 people and the point reward is set to 300.

You need to bet at least 4 more times in the past 14 days to unlock the question.
