This Game Has Destroyed My PS3 !!!!

[Raiz_Cineris]

Your ps3 went to crap because it was already on its way out.

Lawsuit? GL

[Katixia]

Dont be ridiculous.. get over yourself and sort out. Your ps3 must already be proper fucked...m over dramatic...

What? Is this English?

With PS4 around the corner , im really in no mood to spend money on PS3 when i know I will be buying the PS4 as soon as it comes out.

I'm thinking of getting the PC version as it will be cheaper to buy a game than a console but love the feeling of playing on control pad.

I know that "control pad" feeling too. You can get a 20-30 buck logitech wireless controller for your PC if you go that route. Thats how I played for the longest time on both ffxi and ffxiv. Hope you get your ps3 situated or fixed =<

You can even use your ps3 controller on the PC with the right drivers.

FFXIV is actually the most stable game I've played on the PS3. Game all day, not a single freeze. It's only ever happened once, and that was during phase 3 beta.

I think your PS3, like others have mentioned, was probably on its way out to begin with. It just so happens you were running ARR when it did.

o.O can you ? do i have t install a 3rd party software or has game already got a gamepad option ?

[Mattatron]

The only software you would need are the drivers. If you want to use your ps3 controller you would have to find the drivers for it online..its a little tricky to setup as the ps3 controller wasnt intended to be used this way but it can be done.

[Mattatron]

Oh and it would have to be plugged in to the USB..definitely can't hook it up witelessly

[Valiant]

Xbox controllers work on the comp too and without drivers... also the ending result of you ps3 crash is probably how you take care of your ps3. If you dont put it somewhere where dust can't get to it and clean it regularly it won't happen.

PS3 controller works flawless wireless using a Bluetooth dongle and motioninjoy. Battery lasts about 12-14 hrs. Same as ps3. Dongle costs $20. Software is free download.

My ps3 freezes and I can't figure out why. I bought it 09 I believe waiting for 14 to come out. I don't think I played it more than 50 hours since I bought it before 14 finally released. The ps3 bottom gets very very warm and freezes about twice a day. I took it apart down to what I could without the torx screwdrivers and blasted the piss out of it with air. Same problem. Seems like maybe the HDD is trying to write and somewhere has a corruption perhaps? Doing a full system restore to see if it helps. Next option is buying a laptop cooling pad and see if it helps. Not dumping money into fixing an obsolete machine. I'll keep you posted if the full format system restore works.
