    I didn't know that. Do you know if a software fault can cause that? Because if it did erase all of that data, it sounds like a manual action to me...
    That's what she said.

    Will check on my PS3 to make sure, and yeah, sounds like a manual action to me as well. Why would just the profile data be left over. *Watch this space*

    Edit : Checked on the PS3, and there are 3 options.

    1. Format HDD
    2. Restore Default Settings
    3. Restore PS3

    Of the three it sounds like option # 1 happened to you. I just don't want to test it on my system.

    It sounds like a system restore if I remember correctly, but that's definitely something you do manually, I can't think it would do it by itself

    On a side note to this, I saw a whole bunch of items appearing on my "game list" on the XMB that says "Corrupted Data". Everything else on the console is fine and none of the games have faulty downloads, they all work well. Any idea what this is and what caused it?

    Oh I've gotten that quite a few times. If you download a game but the file is corrupted, it tries to install but fails and leaves the corrupted install on the list. You'll need to delete whatever installer isn't installing properly and download it again, and delete all the corrupted items as well.

    I have my ps3 set to auto update, so it automatically installs anything that has finished downloading each morning, but you can test it manually by trying to install the game from the installer (icon in the bubble in the games list) and it should break after a while and leave another corrupted data icon.

    I'll have a look at what might be causing that...because they take up space and it is a mission to delete that stuff one-by-one.

    If you have auto-updates on, you should find that there is one extra corrupted data each day, and one installer that just stays there and doesn't get installed, that'll be your problem.
