I had the same problem about a week into my ps3 experience (i got a launch 60gb) so early november 2006. I had hooked it up to a 1080p set at another house, then went back to my home with my 480i/composite multi-av out setup. I read the manual (this was before the online manual), hooked the ps3 to the multi-av out, held the button down till it beeped twice, signaling a video reset, and voila! It set itself to 480i. Ive done this countless times each time I switch tv's. And this may be my logic speaking, but last I checked, the default setting for each ps3 doesnt include restoring YOUR save data. Stab in the dark here though. [ED: yah -- it was total user error. The point, though, is that the PS3's interface for such things absolutely sucks. It is unintuitive and entirely painful to use.] This is pure user error. I had the same problem about a week into my ps3 experience (i got a launch 60gb) so early november 2006.

It got a yellow light of death, so I picked up a new slim and put the drive in there, except the drive was no longer readable and so I lost all my saves for every game I had… It irked me royally. I still don't think I'm quite over it yet, so I know how ya feel. I had something much the same happen with my PS3.
