So a few days ago when Sony announced the closing of PS Store on PS3 and after seeing reports that some games can't download updates I decided to fire up my PS3 and make sure my games are up to date and I have all the DLC's installed, since I have not used my PS3 in a few years. My model is Fat 80Gb PAL CECHL08. I updated system software, everything was going fine until I put MotorStrom PR disc. The disc was recognized, but after I started the game it crashed immediately with error 80010514. So I tried the next few games and they worked flawlessly. Until Resident Evil 5 and Heavy Rain got the same error. The discs themselves are clean without any scratches. I tested about 30 game discs and only those 3 discs won't launch (except Heavy Rain, more info at the end). I've also tried to run some Digital PS3 games on my hard drive - no issues.
I tried to run those discs each time after I did the following actions:
deleting game install and update data
reinstalling game and update data
deleting save data
restoring file system
rebuilding database
restoring default settings
restoring PS3 system completely
reinstalling system update
using lens cleaning disc a few times
Nothing helped.
Except the Heavy Rain disc did start without the error after I installed the bonus DLC chapter Taxidermist only (no install data or patches of Heavy Rain were on HDD prior to that)! And it was before I did all of the above. After installing game data and patches it also now works perfectly.
I've come to a conclusion that it might be Firmware related. But I'm not ruling out a possibility of dying BluRay Drive or HDD.
So before I crack open my PS3 I wanted to ask someone to test if their discs of either RE5 or MSPR or Heavy Rain still working with system update 4.87. Preferably original release disc versions in EU/UK region.
Can't answer your other questions, but I installed my Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition disc (with all the DLC on it etc) literally about 2 days ago and it loaded perfectly with no errors or issues so far. I'm using a 500MB Slim PS3 though, so it could be your older model playing up perhaps ?
