I do need to say my bit here ...
And that's that the service seems to sometimes "corrupt" your hdd
If not me and my friend have just been very very unlucky ...
Or perhaps its like the ylod and everybody gets a turn ... its just a matter of when

Sucks to hear about the HDD but I somehow doubt it is because of PS+.

maybe the constant updating it does but I turn most of that off.

unfortunately ( or fortunately ? ) you are very much spot on Sinn
It seems to only happen AFTER the auto updates :/

Which sucks ...
Cuz now I'll have to re download everything again for the 2nd time XP

@DP SSIV is US only, I have a US account and started downloading it last weekend.

@Omega I have auto update on and it hasn't affected my HDD once. Let's hope I ma safe

LBP 2 is Free

Hey man, yea you know it!

last night I wanted to use my online storage ... BUT I kept getting Error L 8003051E

That that was basically my entire membership rendered useless :/
Cuz most of my games didn't want to finish downloading either!

...

So I'm doing a full reformat of my HDD
Seems like data somewhere got corrupt?
Or something on the HDD?
perhaps the power tripped during an auto update?
I don't know ... its kinda a shot in the dark ... BUT I hope it fixes ...
I want to play batman already!!!

Hate to say it but maybe the HDD has bad sectors etc? Maybe pull it, and test it in an enclosure on a PC.

I'll be sure to try that next time it acts up ( for now I'm holding thumbs and hoping to see the PS4 before this gets worse :/ )

But basically I reformatted the HDD ( fully ... took about 28 hours )
But hey at least everything seems to be working & at the very least my downloads no longer get stuck ...
So since I'm on a 4mb line for the next 2 weeks ... I'll just have to take full advantage of it & then get a UPS back home again & hope for the best when I switch auto updates on again

Omg Mass Effect 3 and metal gear hd collection!! havent played those yet and DOA 5.

Damn plus is pulling out the stops.

Here's a question, maybe someone can tell me whether I'm blind or Sony likes to pull fast ones.

In December I purchased the 3-month special for R90 for PS+. Today I get charged a renewal fee for another 3 months.
I was under the impression that it would expire, not go into auto-renewal, and I don't remember seeing anything that indicated that would be the case? If I did, I would've likely removed it.

Not that I mind, but it wouldn't be very kosher if they weren't informing people that when you buy a 3-month sub, it'll auto-renew by default unless you opt out. Usually that's the type of thing you should make very obvious.

Or was I just blind?

I haven't been on the PS store in quite some time, but I'm sure I saw an Auto Renewal option.

*Just found this...

Note to all new PS+ members,au​to renewal (please read)
.
Welcome to the wonderful world of +. For those of you who dont know, PS+ has an automatic billing system in place. Once your subscription runs out Sony automaticly bills you again for whatever package you ordered (1 year/ 3 months). So i thought i would make a post telling you how to shut this off. Personally i think everyone should shut this feature off, even if you plan on reupping- If you forget and your plus expires-- as soon as you re-up you will get the games back you had in your previous membership..ok with that said here is what you need to do.


Go to the network icon on XMB

click account managment

go to transaction managment

go to Services list

playstation plus

click on your package

then click cancel automatic renewal


Simple as that . there might be an easier way-- but thats how i do it.


P.S. if you dont shut it off-- they will use the money that is in your account / or if you dont have money or not enough they will take the money from your card on file

@Tiggi

When you purchase it does tell you this will automatically renew, It is a-bit of a fast one with the day they word it.

But yeah you just glossed over it same thing happened to me lol

Ah, ok so at least I'm not the only one that's glanced over it

Thanks for the help gents
