PS3 Deadspace 3 crash

I recently bought Dead Space 3 for the PS3 and I can't play it. I get to the main menu, go to create a save game and my entire system shuts off.

    Since someone already had the same problem both with the demo and the final game, I guess it won't hurt to comment about my experience with the demo only.

    I am having the same problem: game starts normally and crashes to blinking red light after some time playing. Unrelated to any in-game triggers apparently, and in about the same time interval already mentioned: about 2 to 10 minutes. 

    I can recall happening:

    -Once in the weapons testing mode, when I refused to press X when caught by a necro to see what would happen

    -Another time in the weapon testing mode, after about 15 minutes when trying to access the bench

    -Two times close to the boss, one after and one before. I wasn't triggering any event (doors, benches, etc; ), just walking

    -Once when reaching the two necros before the first ladder. Again I wasn't triggering anything, just shooting them.

    My copy is hopefully arriving tomorrow, so I will post as soon as I have news about testing it.

    By the way, mine is a CECHE series, "Fat", 80GB.

    This kind of problem has happened with only one other game, already famous for crashing most of the older PS3. I'm not sure if I can mention what game it is, but I will if it is ok.

Hello Eve,

Well the first crash happend in the main menu (i just added my collector edition code's and went to dinner. When i came back it had the red blinking light.)
So i just assumed it was the same as with the demo, wich crashed after a few min (Differs from 2 to 10 min)

After i saw your message i called my friend to come and try with me to co-op
I made a match, he joined, we started the game. (So this kinda rules out the certain task)

Then after a few minutes it went out again during the game. I also did not press start at any point in the game.

It seems the game has problems running on the old CECHC models :mansad: 

Also in all the forums i have been through about this problem it seems most of the models are the older 60gb CECHC and the 150gb slim. (maybe it helps to know)

Greetings,

Rick
