yeah, ive been reading reports of 1.3 causing freezing which is the first home update ive seen do that

simply put - u picked a really bad time to explore home, not that its your fault cause its not but u just picked a really bad time to explore home, have utried deleting home?

also, try calling them again and asking to talk to a manager, keep asking to talk to higher-ups until u reach someone that can actually make things happen,these customer service people cant make anything happen
 
HOME kept freezing my system also. some thursdays they do updates on HOME and some people can't get onto it. today when i tried to go on HOME it keptfreezing during the initializing period. i got pissed and just deleted HOME all together, and then downloaded it again. once it uploaded, it stopped freezingup.

try deleting HOME.
 
i triied updating .. but my system never lets me get past 11% .. probably better that i didnt fully update . good luck to you . btw xbox360 is 100x'sbetter imo
 
Thank God I don't mess with home like that.

If that happened to me I would've been heated.

do you have guitar hero or rock band plugged in, cuz i know home freezes everything until i pulled that controller thing out.....
 
That's why you get yourself and Xbox.

Xbox support> _____

Also,

I've had mine for 3 years and still no red rings.

I guess you're screwed then cause when your console red rings (other than the jaspers which are heat efficient enough, they all eventuallywill because of the design) you'll have to pay up.

I waited to get mine for that reason. Hate faulty/first-gen hardware
 
hold down the power button and after that see if it lets you do the system restore. you seem to have a corrupted file system on your hard drive
 
i have a xbox... i got a ps3... my xbox red ringed 2 times already thank god i was covered cuz of there chip keeps melting.... this is the 1st time for my ps3thou
 
its says my harddrive is corrupt.... i did the restore and still doesnt work.... idk wut else to do
 
delete home and then reinstall it... it should work fine after and not freeze up....and if it does freeze up it wont be at the startup but while in your inhome... it freezes every now and then... its not your ps3 its just the new update has been giving home trouble...it either freezes or lags...

all you can do now is reformat. you will lose all your safe files but it will get rid of the problem
