How to Fix a Game When It's Corrupted on PS3

Games that have been downloaded from the PlayStation Network can become corrupted if there is a problem with the initial download, installation or with the hard drive on your PlayStation 3. A corrupted game will refuse to load or will give you an error message when you attempt to run it or during certain parts of the game. You must re-download the game to get a fresh copy on your PlayStation 3. A new download will replace the corrupted files and allow you to play the game.
