A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Founded in 2010 by Phantom, Remains of the Republic has its roots in Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) for the PS2, becoming one of its most successful Europe-based clans.

In 2015-2016, we were active on the new Star Wars Battlefront (2015) game. Though just a group of friends playing for fun occasionally, we still managed to win the EU Cup in a tournament.

Every now and then we fire up our old PS2's to play SWBF2 again, all remaining players from the EU joining forces to play in friendly tournaments along with players from the United States, where there's a larger remaining user base.

These days, RoR mainly functions as a homebase where old and new players meet up to stay in touch and play Battlefront as well as other games.

PS3 XMB Menu Freeze

Hey guys! the guy with technical issues is here again! :D

I've a problem with my ps3. Once I startup a game or something and I try to open my xmb menu it will open and freeze for at least 2 minutes.. in the meanwhile the game on the background continues.. You understand this is a pain in the ass when playing call of duty.. I have to sit out these minutes until my screen returns. meanwhile I have to suffer and see my character dieing by a harrier or so.. >,<..

does any of you had this problem before on ps3? it's very very very annoying.. I've been thinking of buying a new ps3..

I google'd the problem, they offered me serveral options to fix this evil error.. none of them helped obviously..

I hope somebody had this problem before and know how to fix it because it's driving me crazy..

Note: I've my ps3 since May 10th 2007. played lots of hours on it.. maybe it's just wasted lol

(it mostly happens when somebody adds me or sent a message and I try to open)

...do you delete the PMs you get once a day at least?

For each stock market that falls down... there are 10 versions of "What a wonderful world"
For each corrupt person... there are 8k donating blood
For each barrier that exists... there are 200k mats saying "Welcome"
While one scientific is making a new weapon... there are 100 million of mums making a chocolate cake
In the world, there's more monopoly money than dollards
There are more funny videos in the internet than bad news all over the world
LOVE has more results in google than FEAR
For each person that says "Everything is wrong..." 100 couples are looking for children
And for each weapon sold in the world... 20 million of people share a bottle of Coca-Cola
There are still reasons to believe in a better world.

Well, I don't really have this problem but like, when I leave a game on bf3 and suddenly I get a message/someone gets online. Then it stops like 2 seconds for me but it happens really often for me and it's not really a problem.

You can also change the HDD of some of the "fat" PS3's, maybe you got such a model.

Quite weird - it's never happened to me, I don't think. You shouldn't have to stop going on the web browser because of this though, it's unacceptable. You could write them a letter of complaint.
