PS3 owners: Does the code 80010514 mean anything to you?

@-PL-

Mine used to freeze up when the update with the information bar was released, but I turned it off, and that hasn't been an issue for me since.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem, certainly not like the RROD. Then again, anecdotally, I don't know anyone (in real life, certainly plenty of dtoiders have fallen victim) that has suffered the dreaded red rings on their 360.

I'm really not concerned and will certainly be purchasing the MGS4 bundle as planned.

The only freezes I had occurred when quiting a game on the wrong time. In other words quiting a game when saving to the hdd. And off course the NAT type connection trouble but no weird 80010514 errors.

An acquaintance of mine has mentioned one they got used no longer reads discs, but brought up no error codes.

Frankly, I'm surprised that more 360s and PS3s don't come with bad optical or hard drives. Having spent a few years in technical support, I installed a ton of new systems (possibly literally, 2000lbs worth of computers) and it was hardly a surprise to find one with a bad drive straight out of the box.

It doesn't really surprise me that it's happening, not because Sony suck or anything, but more often than no hardware does have some problems. The reason RROD was such an issue was firstly because it was widespread, secondly and more importantly was the abysmal way that Microsoft handled it. Even if this does become a bigger problem as long as Sony handle it better than MS did with the RROD the '80010514 error' won't end up with the stigma that the RROD did.

I know 1 person that had this problem, and I have had a similar issue with DVD movies, where it cant read them right. But its off and on

Haven't had this issue myself, nor heard of anyone else here or otherwise coming accross this issue. Doesn't mean its not out there just I haven't really heard of it. The only issues I had with mine was it froze on the initial setup, I restarted and its been fine ever since. Also, like Gameboi said I did have an issue with the information bar, but I turned it off and its been good ever since. At least we had the option to turn it off.

Was watching Full Metal Jacket on the Blu-rays the other night and all was well.

Oddly enough, my ps3 just started fritzing out on me as of today. In the middle of a rock band session with MaxVest too :( I'm planning on giving it some time and trying again later. It sometimes loads games, other times not. COD4 got me to the main screen, but froze halfway through the loading of a level. Rock Band (if it loads) won't actually get me into a song.

I think it's directly related to disc access, so i'm hoping the air dusting and move i gave the system will help :x

Needs a catchier name. Maybe the Blu Ray of Death? (BROD)

Actually i've seen that exact code on my ps3, which is why it's in for repairs right now. I'm glad it's not a wide spread problem though.

I think I've roughly heard of 4 situations out of thousands of people on forums. It always seems to be followed by a poor shutdown.

The way this is written, it sounds like you WANT PS3s to break down, just so that comparatively, the 360 doesn't look as bad.

Too bad though......<1% failure still holds for the 11.5 million PS3 owners out there

ahh it seems the disc read error returns...god i will hate work if this becomes widespread.

PAPERWEIGHT OF DESPAIR!

Nope. This is the first time I've ever heard of this particular error code. Although, I've heard of people having trouble with their Blu-ray drives before.

It wasn't an insult, it's just annoying for numbers to be thrown around with no sources. I'm just afraid that karmic retribution will get me when I get a PS3 since I've had 0 problems with my 360.

People like to mock Microsoft for their problems but people also seem to forget the PS2s rampant failure rates toward the beginning of it's life cycle and even a while after release many people have had problems with their PS2 not playing certain formats of discs or memory card slots dying or the system flat out dying all together. In fact, the PSone wasn't all that reliable either.

I took good care of my consoles and I went through about three PSones, and two PS2s. My friend's PS2 is practically dead, and his PSP stopped working for him out of the blue. So Sony has it's fair share of shoddy workman ship.

Nintendo, as far as I can tell, seems to be the most reliable when it comes to hardware.

never heard of this, but all things will break, build quality is another matter all together.

I've never had a problem except one like Gameboi, where the shit froze after the update. It's of course fine now, and everything has been smooth ever since. Except getting voice chat working. WTF am I doing wrong?

the first PS3 i had wouldn't even stay on during the setup,it kept shutting down,i took that one back and got another,that one would freeze up every 15 or so minutes(with every game including demos)i got this third one and it's fine.luckely i bought it from Futureshop so they exchanged the defective ones with no problems.
i know the Sony fanboys will say that i'm full of sh@t but it's the truth.the PS3's gonna have their problems just give it time.alot of them haven't gotten alot of use so now that they are you'll see the problems start to surface.

@Hells_666

What are you smoking? I have no power over what icons you choose, and the PS3 gets more play time (in my household) than the other two consoles combined. You obviously don't know me very well.

Never heard about this issue! Hope the future holds sweet things for my 'ol PS3!

Strangely enough, one of my friends has had two PS3s die on him. The first one stopped reading discs altogether, and the second one had this problem — it wouldn’t read Blu-ray games (he didn’t have any Blu-ray movies on hand to test them out). I’ve been very lucky: my PS3 is on essentially 24/7 (when I’m not using it, it’s folding proteins), and I’ve had zero problems in over 15 months of owning it.

HAHAHAH PS3 CAN'T EVEN DO RROD RIGHT. IT BARELY EVEN DOES IT'S DEATH ERROR AT ALL. WHAT A POS.

LOL.


slow news day?
