Can I Save My Corrupted PS3 Hard Drive? (How to Rescue Data WITHOUT Safe Mode)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- After changing my PSN ID and playing PS3 games online, I discovered Black Ops 2 would freeze every time. This was the straw that broke my PS3's back. That was back in April. Since then, I've put off this data rescue but now is the time. Over the years, many have encountered data corruption. But few know you have more complex repairs beyond safe mode. Today we attempt this in an effort to save all my precious files and memories from my old PS3. Will I succeed?! (Maybe if you watched you would find out, sheesh. Quit lurking the description).

Right after PS Home closed. I pulled out my hard drive and put it into my hard drive dock and saved all my pictures and videos. Saved it all on a backup hard drive.
Linda H that's what I was thinking, so could I say attach an eternal hard drive to my PS3 or PS4 via the USB and copy from the internal hdd to the external hdd?
I'm not changing my Id but I would just like to have it backed up for any future loss or problems. 👍😉
Dude nice, does that hard drive have PS Home installed? There's a discord dedicated to bring it back, but an offline version (it works on the PS3 emulator RPCS3). They're looking for hard drives with PS Home to get assets off the cache, here's the discord:
Project Destination Home (Preservation Project) Discord: discordapp.com/invite/QguSBT3
I remember those days ps home
Literally came from US Air force PS3 video straight to the new one
Got a Mystic notification while watching Mystic? Same here.
Welcome, new subscribers!
Your calmness in these kinds of situations is admirable
If your system is jailbreak-able, it's very simple to recover data from a corrupt hard drive. You can dump the EID root key from the console and use that key to decrypt the contents of the hard drive in Windows with PS3 HDD reader programs
Didn't know that I have a 2 jailbroken ps3
I have a cfw slim so I'm glad to hear that
Do you know of a way to download ps3 game updates for games that dont have patches avaliable anymore?
My PS3 died a few days ago, I have a backup from 2 months ago but I wanted to recover the more recent saves, is there a way I can extract it or should I consider it lost?
@@michelterres you need a cfw
OMFG you friggin LEGEND. You just saved all my save files and trophy progression. HDD Regenerator actually worked for me. From now on I vow to do my backups regularly and like every video of yours I come across. Thank you so much!
Did you pay for it or the trial version
That is why I still have my fat PlayStation 3 I can save all my files on a SD card just in case if this crap happens and I mean the backwards compatible PS3...... Still works like a champ
Bigox666 even super slim can save files to external storage, not toam sd card but to an usb
I have a Phat but it's the silver trim😢
I got into a similar situation a few years back where I lost all of my data. Really wish I had found this video because I ended up resetting it. So many years and memories lost! RIP 🤙🏻
I feel you bro it's heart wrenching :(
Not safe for work between 9:03 to 9:20 🤣
"Wow, this got really inappropriate real quick didn't it..."
Holy hell haha watched it 5 times
Funniest shut I ever heard
@@DeadSpacedOut LOL
NSFW😳
Good thing i didn’t change my ID
I know right finally Name Change & Sony fucked it up. lol
It is probably the most unused feature of the PS4.
@singularon1 Right but the risk to me are not worth it to possibly corrupt a Hard Drive or For me it's losing my paid games/dlc. lol i'll change the unused feature part but i'm still saying Sony fucked it up. lol
I changed my name, & have had no issues.
@@Brandon_N420 my friend lost data because he changed his id
To be fair, their system was never designed for name-changes in mind, so it's not really a surprise that old PS3 titles are causing issues. Not sure that there's anything Sony could have done differently to solve that other than having the forethought to give the system name-changing capabilities from the start. If you care about your PS3 stuff, steer clear, but if you mostly just use PS4 and don't care much about PS3 stuff, then It's probably worth the risk.
Mystic Ryan, ur the best man. Ur content is unique and amazing
Great video as always. I backed up my PS3 a few years before it died. I was playing God of War Ascension, and that did. I can't remember how much progress I lost after that.
sucks that you lost everything for the sake of a video.
Bro, I feel your pain. Hard drives typically only have a 10 year lifespan, now that we know this very important deadline, we can prevent data loss in the future. Prevention really is in most cases the only solution, however if you’re into data recovery like I am then you can go a little deeper... since most hard drive failures are a result of a bad sata bridge connection, you could find a duplicate hard drive and swap the pcb as long as it has the same model number, and as long as the discs/reader are functional then you may be able to recover your data.
Though sometimes it’s not as easy as just swapping the pcb, sometimes you may need to remove a chip from the original and solder it to the new board, so it not really for beginners but research it and you might get lucky

My PS3 is nearly 12 years old and the hard drive still works, it never got corrupted.
It’s funny cause I made a PS4 account first and transferred my account to the PS3 and it transferred all my games onto it thank god for me owning a PS4 before PS3
Are we not gonna talk about the fact that we got mini Rick Rolled when he went to his music tab?
Well at least he never gave him up
Man this is another reminder for me to get a new hardrive my ps3 hardrive is already starting to fail me after 6 yrs
6 years is pretty good. Mine died after 3. Thanks Seagate. The western digital i replaced it with is almost 10 years old now lol
bookshelffury im definitely getting that western digital i heard seagate hardrives corrupt themselves and erase data by themselves
7 years still working xD
Mine is on its original 80gb hard drive from 2009.
8 years and then my stupid brother decides to pull the plug to play his wii
Bummer, dude. I love seeing the more technical stuff though. Keep it up :)
You have my sympathy...... that's so cruel I don't even wish it for my enemies.... I hope you can find a way to restore your data
I definitely lost some save data when my PS3 died. I did find some old PS3 saves on my backup HDD, that I restored to my replacement PS3, but there were some notable saves missing on games I know I had completed. So it was an out of date backup.
It's always rough losing data though (whatever the circumstances), especially for games with a complete save, one used for a platinum trophy etc. But it's an important, if harsh lesson that teaches you the importance of regular backups. I regularly backup my PS4's saves & captures and I have a backup of my PS3 saves.
The only system I really need to backup is the Vita. I currently have PS+ so the saves are backed up to that. But anyone with a Vita can tell you the importance of its backups (via 'Content Manager Assistant' PC software), as for some inexplicable reason Sony decided that when you delete a Vita game install, it also deletes the save files too...
To fix bo2 freezing:
Step 1: make sure your signed out. Start the game and go to multiplayer.
Step 2: start a LAN match. Add some bots and start it up
Step 3: walk around, kill some bots for a bit then end game.
Step 4: stay in that lobby and sign in.
Step 5: after that you can load into a public match without freezing.
Good luck!
That's not the thing he is talking abour
This happened to Masahiro Sakurai, made him lose all his PS1, PS2, & PS3 saves.
Now he dead
How do you know that :o?
At least I'm not the only one who suffered this
This is definitely an informative video and yes, you should definitely do a video about the launch PS3's having overheating issues, I'm on my 2nd phat console and I'm hoping it doesn't die on me.
Ricardo Contreras just get hackable slim
do not get superslim they cant run cfw at all
@Hideo_22, I got it mainly so I could consolidate my PlayStation consoles due to it being the only PS3 models to play PS2 games.
@@milojkokitic6991, I got it mainly so I could consolidate my PlayStation consoles due to it being the only PS3 models to play PS2 games; unfortunately I can't play PS2 games on the slim or super slim models.
Ricardo Contreras you can play on slim if you use cfw
@@milojkokitic6991, I may have to look into that, but I do like that I can pop my PS2 discs right into the phat model and the game launches. I believe with CFW I will need to emulate it via ripping the disc into an image file, I may make a project out of it though, because I also own the PS3 Slim as well lol
I wish this video came out sooner. My old ps3 with all my years of Minecraft saves, etc, are now gone. thanks for the info though!
But you were a year late
Some ps3's had issues with sshd's, try a 5400 rpm hdd 1tb or less...
Michael Dymond i agree my first thought is it’s probably not liking the clone from a hdd going to a sshd. Especially if the PS3 can have issues with those drives. Defo worth a shot at least.
@@herbalterrorist420 I have 120 gb ssd in mine that was about $20. The XMB is much faster and the in game xmb is better too. Load screens are a little quicker too.
I have an ssd in my ps3 as well. I can confirm. Faster loading of thumbnails on the xmb as well. No more waiting for things to load when you've got lots of stuff on there. Also digital games and ps plus games install much faster.
I have a ssd on mine PS3 I paid almost $200 for a SanDisk Extreme which comes with a 10 year guarantee . So far no problems at all and I backup on 256gb usb flashdrive.
Ssd is different from sshd
i always leave 3 usb flash drives with my game saves from all consoles on it i learned after 2 yellow light of death ps3 😔
Smart good idea👍
If you have PS+ you can upload all of your saves to the cloud storage. If not then backup all saves to flash drives.
Get newer ps3 if available
@@MoviesNGames007uk Not all PS3 data can be put on PS+ cloud which is why you should also have flash drives. Well, at least for me.
I played this addicting game on the ps2, called Graffiti Kingdom. I had a memory card with multiple created character cards on it. I think I lost the memory card after donating all of the games I didnt want anymore. I remember there were alot of created 3d modeled characters on there, that I spent countless hours making.
I felt that disappointment near the end. So Sorry there, man.
Commercial programmes are designed to deal with Windows problems so any strange file format or encryption such as freeBSD/NetBSD file system probably won't be recognized and won't work with those commercial recovery programs. Your best shot is to look at linux forums, there will be some Linux freaks who decrypted ps3 file system and may be able to help you. All the best man and I hope you recover your data soon.
This is why you backup to external drive
I feel like im the only one who makes backups of my ps3 and ps4.... Im not alone?!?! :D
@@bookshelffury i do but only on ps4 cloud since its easier. only hard part is moving to ssd because if your read it you need a usb then you need to go to the page and download software. screw all that noise i want to get a ssd not set up an entire gaming pc.
@@bookshelffury your not alone. I backup my ps3 every month or before applying a firmware "update"
Niccccee.... Cause its not just saved games i wanna save... There's a lot of game patches for my older ps3 games that aren't downloadable anymore :( like the rumble patch for motorstorm 1, the rumble patch for resistance 1.... Without my backup images made with the ps3 backup utility my motorstorm and resistance would be rumbleless forever :( :( early ps3 games downloaded patches from the multiplayer servers instead of sony servers. When those games went offline... So did the ability to download any patches for them rip.
Same here.
Wow Really enjoyed this video definatly wanna see if you take those other steps you were talking about to recover it!
It worked for me!
PS3 kept looping again and again asking for a file system rebuild in every boot. Took the HD out, ran HDD regenerator and found 7 bad sectors. After fixing those, the PS3 booted perfectly after a single file rebuild.
Thanks for sharing your video, Im sorry didn't worked out for you but I'm a 100% sure its the SSHD. Just try with a good old HD!
Part 2 incoming? New HDD should work maybe.
Love the video! Hard drives are getting cheaper and more durable these days, but they still face the same problems as any other component in your system. If you're having trouble with errors, let us help! We have specialized in data recovery since 2003 and have a success rate of over 96%.
Hi, any chance you can recover data from a PS4 HDD with a console that is playing up? The only way I can get my PS4 to start is by reinitializing but that will mean losing all my saved data.
I've had this happen to both my ps3 (BLOPS did it) and ps4, so i shed a tear watching this. However, the ps4 has a backup & restore function, which i had the foresight to do in 2017. So when my ps4 had this issue, i was able to restore my hdd without losing P.T. demo and (some) of my share/capture gallery etc. I highly recommend ps4 users backup their hdd as a precaution.
Tip: Remove as many apps (games etc) as possible before backing as these can be easily redownloaded and will save you many hours (obviously don't delete things that can't be downloaded again, e.g. P.T. demo)
Ryan when you do anther Video with Windows see if you can setup Bootcamp on your Mac
Great Vid... My new favourite Channel!!!
Oh dude...so sorry to hear this.
Easier way: install cfw next time and dump eid root key
Dammit Ryan! I wish you made this video about 3 months earlier! 😂
I used the hdd regenerator and it worked ! my ps3 file system finally booted up and rebuilt. thank you so much for making this video ! just got done with my homebrew and updated my hdd to a 1 tb a week ago and downloaded a ton of games. so happy i didnt have to delete and start over.
eat ass smoke grass
How it works dude , free trial 2011 ?? I need help
Ik yall seen look back at it in his music my guy mystic is for the culture
You got a song from Persona 5, that's very epic of you
I have the whole soundtrack on my phone.
I tripped out at 13:11
Interesting that you (and other youtubers) have mentioned in multiple videos about launch PS3's not being able to last long... I still use my 60GB model to this day (mostly for when I want to play PS2). But that thing has put in many many many hours of play time and has never had an issue
The nek token capacitors screwed those consoles over. It’s the reason 90%of the consoles with ylod have problems with those. If you can solder it’s an easy fix, my 80gb backwards compatible has them replaced and it runs strong
@@genericjosh96 it’s been debunked that 10% of all fats dies by token failure
Just dump the EID root key and decrypt the HDD using PS3 HDD Reader.
What if I can't get into the system? I'm assuming I'm fucked
@@SuperSealMan777Very late, and it's definitely an expensive solution, but you can buy another HDD to put into the PS3, and (because the guy mentioned dumping EID Root Key, I'm assuming you can find): the CFW you used on a usb drive, and format the hdd from there and getting the ps3 running, so you can run RebugToolbox (Evilnat comes with this in the Custom Firmware Settings) and dump the EID Root Key.
Side note, if you didn't JB your system, you can simply install ofw as long as it's BEFORE 4.91, or whatever the most recent update is that doesn't have a CFW out and working (Eg; Evilnat is in 4.91 BETA, not fully working) and see if you can jailbreak your console from there, MrMario2011 has a video which is all you will need. Due note that if your console was updated to the most recent ofw update and there isn't a cfw which is complete out, installing an older firmware will not work. Simply wait for Evilnat (or your preferred cfw) to come out with a complete custom firmware.
I've just been doing a lot of research because I reaallly want to get all my data off my old HDD because I had a lot of games which are super rare and I unfortunately don't have the discs for, so I wanted to put what I've learned out there.
To clone a hard drive. It can not have corrupted files. It will make it worse.
I remember reading that PS3s only recognize up to 750Gb drives, so maybe it was that.
Jorge Castillo i have 1TB and works perfectly
@@milojkokitic6991My 1TB HDD died 💀💀💀 it did read it though, think I had like ~825gb free after switching from my old 80gb.
Oh I need this video. My PS3's drive corrupted recently as well and then my power supply died as well. I did buy a new PS3 but I really don't want to lose 9 years worth of data.
Don't you have your game saves online/USB ?
@@sperin98 Not everyone thinks ahead. I think some of my Ps3 saves still exist in the cloud; but I remember losing a lot of data back during ps3 because of corruption. Mostly my fault for downloading custom themes that immediately corrupted or corrupted over a short span of days or weeks. Learned my lesson. I did manage to enjoy a large span of movies due to the ps3's download feature and 98% worked fine. Nowadays networks are more protected connection like the Ps4 and Xbone.
My launch 60gc ps3 still works great use it every day
My ps3 still works fine 2,as does my ps4. Some people must over use their consoles or something.
SONY PlayStation 3 is not designed to work with Hybrid Hard drives, in fact, they require either the traditional ones or a SSD. But combo is a no-go!
Secondly, that particular hard drive WD500BEVT certainly has IntelliPark enabled and set to either four or eight seconds by factory default. This is commonly known why they go bad very quickly.
For those who don't know what IntelliPark is: It's a feature WesternDigital has introduced in the other half of the mid 2000's which automatically parks the read-write head armature after a setpoint of time. Their reason are complete junk: They want to lower the hard drive's power consumption at idle by banking the arm away from the platter area so that the motor no longer fights the air resistance squeezed between the disc spindle and the arms. But as new data requests pour into the mainboard controller, the arms are being sent out onto the disc area again. This constant in-and-out of the parking position causes terrible wear'n'tear on the read-write arms and head assembly, eventually causing the head to strike the spinning disc and carving grooves into it. Then the drive is ROYALLY ruined!
To circumvent this, WD has released a DOS tool called "wdidle3.exe". This directly communicates with the controller allowing the user to en-/disable IntelliPark. Ironically, all WD RED drives have IntelliPark but it's disabled - with good reason!
I hope that information is useful to all out here at any future point.
If the PS3 automatically shuts down without beeping: corrupted MBR sector (the main sector which tells what operating system the hard drive has). You can try to repair using minitool partition wizard on Windows (right click, Rebuild MBR), but the recommended method is to use a linux distro and run gparted and click on the option to make a msdos table of partitions, but it will erase the drive completely. The minitool partition wizard tries to rebuild MBR without erasing the contents, but I cant guarantee success on the console.
The worse thing is that the PS3 is dumb and even if you try to reinstall the operating system, with a corrupted MBR it will fail and shut down again. You need to use a computer to completely rebuild MBR.
Hard work but never give up man🔥🔥
@Mystic you can fix this by modding your PS3Slim (assuming its the CECH2xxx or CECH25xx)
1. Install custom firmware such as REBUG
2. Go to the REBUG tool and dump your eid_root_key to USB and copy back to your computer (this will allow you to decrypt your PS3 HDD)
3. Mount your hard drive to your computer (if you only have a mac, install parallels and install windows)
4. Run the PS3 HDD GUI v1.3 tool which can be found in the collective PS3Tools by aldostools (ps3.brewology.com/downloads/download.php?id=13974&mcid=4)
5. Select your PS3 HDD then select the eid_root_key to decrypt your HDD.
6. You should be able to copy off the files that you want from it
I did this exact same thing when I wanted to clone my 500GB drive to a bigger drive and figured I could clone it like windows. WRONG! anyone reading this, you can't clone PS3 HDD's.
Your option is to use the backup utility to another drive. Put in a new drive then restore from backup. (clearly, I didn't do that)
THEN after it didn't work I made the mistake of putting the original drive back in the PC and initializing it to a GPT partition! Now did I not only fail at cloning my disk I lost everything.
Through some tools and the trick above I was able to restore my original drive back to working order. Do the backup/restore to a bigger drive and all was good in the world again.
Thank the homebrew community for being active.
P.S. If you need help with this, let me know I'll be happy to assist.

Why didn’t u just upload to the cloud
that flashback interleave is spot on
I appreciate this fail video. I was thinking of using the linux "dd" command to clone the discs. Dude works on puters like I do, thanks.
the problem is the filesystem Sony uses, it not fault-tolerant, had they used something similar to ext3, NTFS this kinda stuff really wouldn't happen. Over 6 years my PS4 has corrupted it's file system numerous times,, sadly doing this HD trick won't fix it, the problem isn't the drive, it's the filesystem, and cloning that won't fix it, based on what I saw the partitions are fine which would have been another repair vector if that was an issue.
Mystic (or anyone), I accidently formatted my external hard drive on my PS4 and can't get it read on my computer.
Is there a way to get the data back? :(
Nope
@@colin.allen8 Thank you for answering (after 1 year of my comment uploaded). :(
I can get the pc to read a PS3 PS4 hard drive. But Sony's software other then pictures is encoded. So if there is a corruption? I wouldn't be able to tell. So you can save your pictures and videos. Then reformat the hard drive and get your saved files from PSN storage. After you format your hard drive you will need the latest firmware on a flash drive.
Very interesting and informative. I recently bought a PS4 Pro. I already had a Vita. I decided I wanted to change my ID, but I got the warning about losing data and corrupting files, so I obviously didn't proceed. It begs the question though, that if it'll screw up the system, why give the option to change your PSN ID. I'd be interested to know under what circumstances does changing your PSN ID not screw up your system(s). I would, if possible, still like to change my ID! Thank you.
I am so thankful I backuped by save data before my PS3 broke to use it in RPCS3 and i was sure the save data wasn't on the hard drive because i wasn't using it. When I checked it was there.
Thanks a lot for this video man! Now i know if my hard drive is ever corrupted... I have 0 chance of getting the data back lol
Fun fact to play bo2 with a changed name: sign out, then go to bo2. Select local play start a match, quit the match and click the option that says play online

U can try to clone the drive with the ddrescue tool over the terminal on linux systems. It clones each sector of the hard drive 1 to 1 to the new hard drive.
What's success rate?
Sorry I'm talking too much. A re ball is like $189. And there is no guaranty that your APU didn't get fried. They can test your chip to see. But it's still $189 if they can fix it or not. Not spending that. My PS3 launch edition makes a great book end. lol
Linda H his data on hdd are just corrupted, reball cant fix that
he will need to reformat his hdd and reinstall firmware
This happened to me when my PS3 thermal paste had worn out and the PS3 just kept overheating in minutes. Tried to thermal paste the old girl but ruined the phat PS3 in the process. Got a slim and have spent years rebuilding the collection I lost on the hdd. Now I play most of my games off of an external HDD. The PS3 is a great machine but you have to get to the slims and retire the phats or they will die on you. The thermal paste issue is nonsense too. Never had this issue with the PS2 or any other consoles for that matter.
I can't believe this whole video was about failure and yet I followed all the steps without knowing the end
You can't hack the ps3, dump the keys, and then use them to decrypt the drive on PC? Surely tools exist for this already.
12 Years A Save.
Interesting vid. Thats why its nice to have ps plus and backup your online game data to your accouny at least. Although it doesnt backup your photos, music, vids etc
Please do this procedure on a normal HDD and film it and upload it for us. Thanks a lot.
If you have a spare hard drive and your PS3 is old enough, you can jailbreak it to retrieve your console's encryption key for the file system and use some community software to explore the file system from Windows.
Can u explain me please
I had this issue one time. Just rebooted or whatever . Scared the shit out of me. Same for my ps4 external drive. Freak thing just happened. Luckiky it just restarted and had to download a few games again. But the issue i do have still till this day on my ps3 is that when it starts up it turns back off then i turn it on it logs me out. Does these evertime. Then after its on the home screen. Luckily all i haveto do is press log in and im good. But happens everytime. Makes no sense
Oooh,ty Mystic. You are the bomb. You can use more then 1 HD in a system.(I'm listening to you as i type.
Were any of your saves and such backed up to the cloud? Seems it might be easier and cheaper to just start with a new drive, download history for all the games and just cloud saves to restore your progress in each of them.
Would it really kill Sony to put out an end of life patch that removes the system locking. After 15 years or so must be a lot of hardware fails on original systems.
I literally formatted my hard drive a day before watching this video as every data recovery tutorial, before this one, showed the hard drive being recognized by the computer. :'(

So much tech lingo lol, very interesting video
dump EID root key with rebug toolbox, decrypt the image dump of the HDD and then use R-studio to restore your stuff.
Never gonna change my username. I'm happy with it.
Is it possible to recover PS3 data without the original console? My old PS3 stopped turning on but I still have the HDD and a new PS3. I would love to get that data out!!! As far as I know there is nothing wrong with the drive itself.
Check out ps3specialist.com and get your original repaired
Personally I use minitool partition wizard. Excellent program no issues at all
my ps3 turns on then off. i tried to reset video settings but it doesn't do the double beep, it just turns back off again. what could be the problem?
I knew 100% that this would fail. Once file data is corrupt on PS3, there isn't gonna be a way to repair it. If there was a tried and true method, we'd all already know about it.
POV: Y'all got rick rolled because on this video it has "Never Gonna Give You Up" on his hard drive. : ))))))
8:50
ouu homeboy listens to a boogie
I did the name change the first week it came out. I guess I got lucky all save data still there and my trophies. Even my Ps3 games still have my saves.
8:50 good PS3 Ryan lol
Or if you want to avoid all this completely then back up your game saves to a flash drive. If you have PS plus then keep your saves updated in the cloud. Any music & games can be reloaded onto the drive. Can a manual game save back up be loaded on a new HDD or just the original?
Dude, get yourself a copy of SpinRite. I've had very good luck with that. It's helped me save drives that reported as not having any issues but wouldn't boot windows. Might work for the PS3, too.
In my case i have two ps3 slim consoles but different codes but one is 2004a has the problem In nectokin not rebaling when i play the persona 5 it shuts down, só i bought another ps3 slim console 2504b has tantalum capacitor which is better than previous ps3 but when trying to put the i have the same situation as yours.
I’m just wondering if any of you know I just got my ps3 out today but sometimes my game would crash you guys know why?
Appreciate the video you saved me money and good video
guys if bo2 freezes for u like it did for him what u need to do is sign out, open bo2, launch a local game, end it, and then you can go play online and it will work just fine :)

Kill it dammit! Take a duke on the fucker
I know this is old. Take your PS3 hard drive and using a hard drive reader, try and open some folders with a computer. If the hard drive reads you can save it. But you will lose all the data. Do a full format on the hard drive. Then restore the Fat format.
It's now a clean hard drive ready to go. Put it back into your PS3 and update the files with a thumb drive.
If you can not get it to list or read any of the files? That hard drive might be burned.
original ps3 60gb with upgraded 256gb ssd still lives for me
If I change my name on ps4 and hop back on ps3 will I lose all of my ps3 trophies?
Just dont do it
