    Theres a few people say formating the hardrive fixes this. Sure Ive read it on here before. Back up your saves etc first tho.

    I take it they are only stopping new sign ups?

    I assume us honest (lol) folks who signed up previously will still be under cover

    Was a nap they were gonna take action with it the way the muppets were abusing it

    Found the answer

    Dear Continuous Players, we set up this service ultimately to provide a fast, efficient and cost effective way to ensure that your experience with PlayStation 3 & PSP was as seamless and hassle free as possible. Unfortunately, some individuals have chosen to abuse this service and as a consequence we feel that we have no option but to suspend Continuous Play and postpone acceptance of new Continuous Play plans until further notice. We will of course honour existing customer's policies and look to amend the existing provision so that it is less vulnerable to exploitation. Sincere apologies
    PlayStation Team

    Not suprised they have taken away the Continuous Play thing it was ridiculous just letting people sign up and send anything back, was always going to get completely raped.

    Hope your reformat works Jamie

    i had this issue....try the following

    get a business card and fold in half make sure no discs are in the machine, put the folded business card in the disc slot and blow thru card for bout 1min...and then try

    this actually worked for me but ended up sending back to sony as already had 1 for replacement or try formatting the hard drive can sometimes fix the issue
