This Game Has Destroyed My PS3 !!!!

[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.

I think your PS3 gave up the ghost man just because it's probably just old y'know? Old ass system lmao. I say wait for PS4 or play
on PC or do as others suggested.

PS. Lmao!! Sorry the lawsuit part gets me every time. Don't waste your time on it.
Old system.

i can actualy believe this. was lucky enough to stumble into the odin event the other day. and the whole event literaly became a slideshow for my pc. the game couldnt even render half the models properly.
GTX680, 8gb ram, i7@ 2.93.

now stop and think how this sort of situation would strain an 8 year old console. you think thats healthy for the hardware lol?!

I would agree with the main sentiment in this thread... your system was already dying. I have played a lot of games that were far more strenuous on my ps3 and several of them would freeze my system every few hours (particularly DCUO). Just say farewell to the ps3 and wait for ps4... or just get the pc version. But yea the law suit thing... not gonna happen.

my PS3 always freezes during the logout process, 9xxx, 3xxx, lod popup,,, :d other than that, the game still playable

There's no causal link. This is merely coincidence. Yes XIV runs the box hot (as do many other games), it's a shame yours died when you were playing XIV though. (Would you be blaming GTA V if it happened while you were playing that?)
