PS3 V3.01 Slowness Fix
If you’ve updated your PS3 to the latest V3.01 and are facing some problems in performance, this simple fix might help. Note that I immediately updated to 3.01 passing 3.0. I suffered from slow game response for several games like Ghostbusters even at 480p, and Uncharted 2, while other won’t run at all like X-Men demo. FIFA 10 was running fine though. The main PS3 menu was also so slow in showing the icons. So see if this helps.
- Backup all your important data. For me, this was just the save games and I could manually transfer them to a USB stick. Note that PS & PS2 game saves may not backup automatically through the Backup utility, so if it’s just saved games for you, you may wanna do manual backup
- Make sure you followed Step 1 and have all valuable data backed up.
- From PS3 menu go to Settings -> System Settings -> Format Utility -> Format Hard Disk -> Full Format.
NOTE: This may take few hours, and I haven’t tried Quick Format. So if you wanna try it first, please do so and let me know how it goes.
- Do the first time PS3 settings.
That should be it. For me, now the PS3 menu works quite fast, and I’m enjoying Uncharted 2 now.
Good luck!
