Ps3 – Can’t cash in Barry medal in Jetpack Joyride

Yes, there is an end. 30000 meters and a wall zaps you, and that's the end.

In my opinion, your PS3 is as good as dead. Even if you manage to get it working in the short term, it won't last much longer in the long term.

I believe you have two options:

• If you don't need to recover anything from your current PS3 (ie. if you've been using the PSN+ cloud service to backup your saved games), contact Sony and send your PS3 in for repair.

• If you do need to recover data from your current PS3, you will need to have the PS3 repaired by a 3rd party service. Do not send it to Sony, as their policy is to format all received hard disks for privacy reasons. Sony may also send you a replacement, refurbished unit rather than return your original one, making your Backup Utility backup almost useless.

If you do manage to get your current PS3 working, you might be able to try a third option:

• Buy a new PS3 and transfer your data over using the Data Transfer Utility. Do whatever you wish (repair/sell/etc) with your old PS3.

Don't bother with the Backup Utility. This is really only useful when you are upgrading the hard disk and may restore very little or even no data when restored to a different PS3 unit, as was my recent experience.

Best of luck.
