I've heard stories of Final Fantasy XIII destroying PS3's... So basically, before I continue playing, i would like some clarification.

Did this happen to you? If so, what PS3 was it? a Phat? a slim? How long did it take?If you played it and nothing happened, what PS3 were you using?

you should prolly throw your ps3 out of a moving car if your playing that garbage game anyways

:lol:

But to be on-topic, it's safe to play. Why would a publisher release a game that breaks your PS3?

Could be a mistake of some kind. Personally, I kinda doubt it, but I just wannahear about some experiences.Just to be safe.

Did you play the game?

Did you play the game?

yea i played that turd you call a game. and know it didnt break my old phat ps3 but it did lower my self esteem and ruin my life.. oh it also gave me a brain tumour, your ps3 will be fine but everything else in your life will go to hell

Hm... I see. But I take it you probably didn't finish the game huh? Did ya get very far? I'm just thinking it might take some time before it happens.

Just an estimate of how many hours ya spent would be nice, or if ya still have the game it will say the exact time...

Heard rumours of the same useless trash.... Probably just a vicious rumour to try and boycott the game... The game was supposed to overwrite or delete boot up files i think but have only heard this from hear-say.

I wouldn't think so, but if it has 4 USB's it sounds like one of the old skool gens and prone to YLOD.

But that sholdn't stop the game from working

I'm using the original 60GB PS3, played it for over 60 hours, and even did a 7 hour stretch without any problems. I've even installed a 500GB 7200RPM drive which you'd think would generate a lot of heat as well but it's still running like a champ.

played the game for over 60 hours. adn im still fine. the gaems crap. its wasnt even worth beating i got all the way to the boss. and i decided instead of beating it ill jsut watch the ending on youtube. and after wacthing the ened it complelty confirmed that its not worth comnpleting. if you have any self repsect for yourself then you should go plkaya real rpg like valkyria chroniclesevilmaster2424

that games funny becuase its a japnese game about killing nazis

i've seen similar rumors and cries about other games:

Uncharted 2 broke my PS3

COD4 broke my PS3

MW2 broke my PS3

Killzone 2 broke my PS3

see the pattern???

someone's PS3 OR 360 decides to kick the bucket right after playing a newer game and the game is blamed!

10 hours straight. lucky. i had to go to sleep becouse of work so i only went 4 hours straight in my first sitting. but i pretty much crushed 50% of the game that week(and pretty much any contact to the outside world that week)

I just got the game a few days ago it's been playing fine in my 80GB PS3. I think it's a decent game no where as good as VII or VIII but I miss going into the villages and the little towns and I cannot stand that Hope character and Sazh is the best.

Pointless FF13 bashing aside... I put over 100 hours in FFXIII without any problems on the Slim. Haters probably just spreading rumors, because they got nothing else to do apparently. :roll:

Did seeing that word in repeatedly in FF XIII ironically move you to use it in everyday diction? Lol--good stuff. On a side, I'm playing FF VI right now and unlocked all of Shadow's dreams for the first time--something I missed in my first play through many years ago. Your avatar just reminded me.

With 80+ hours on FFXIII, it is safe to say that it does not destroy PS3's. I have a Slim

You shouldnt even look at it or even buy it its the worst RPG this gen.johny300
I'm on the same boat as you. I bought the game the first week of availability and i stop playing it near the end. The gameplay was so boring that i even forgot haven't finished it and continue playing other games, even some of the fonts are so small that may bother you if you don't have a very big TV. For me this game is the biggest disappointment in RPG and gaming history. One word to describe the game is BORING.

Im with you guys on this one, worst FF ever, one of the worst RPG's ever, dumbed down, and boring as heck, but I will be honest, there hasn't been a FF game thats moved me or been more enjoyable to play then FF6 (ff3 on the SNES) and ff7 was even better.

FF 13 was trash, rubbish, garbage, discraceful, and completely an utter failure, as far as the FF series is concerned. Treat it like the japanese do in Godzilla movies and RUN FROM IT! The only thing it will destroy is your wallet and soul.

Can't log into PSN, PSN network down :arrow: PS3 broke my internet.

Real problem: your router.

YLOD while playing FF13 :arrow: FF13 broke my ps3

Real problem: your PS3 YLOD'd during the 60 hour trek into FF13.

It just makes people feel better by having to blame it on one particular thing.

I heard the rumor. The guy filed a class action lawsuit stating that he bought FF XIII on release day, starting playing the game, it made his PS 3 then it wouldn't work. Makes me wonder how do we know his PS 3 wasn't about to break anyway due to something else?

I've heard stories of Final Fantasy XIII destroying PS3's... So basically, before I continue playing, i would like some clarification.

Did this happen to you? If so, what PS3 was it? a Phat? a slim? How long did it take?If you played it and nothing happened, what PS3 were you using?

lazyathew
I Played it, nothing happen, one day i turned on my PS3 while i went to my room get a thumb drive to watch a manga the thing YLOD. I've fix it myself like 4 times now, lasts about a week and dies again on me. Oh its a Euro release 60GB model by the way. Put it simple, imagine a nail on a board near a air port, the more planes pass, the more loose the nail will became with the vibration, thats what the YOLD is in a nut shell. So it can happen like it happen to me, one day it just pop loose. Do demanding games help it? Well idk for sure but i guess, but know this, most games take like 90~100% of the PS3 processing power, if you ever saw a frame rate drop, thats over 100% People tend to think the best looking games are the more demanding on the hardware but thats not really true, what they are is more efficient, other games that don't look as good squeeze the same power from the hardware (or more because of frame rate drop) so if making the CPU&GPU work at full steam helps to YLOD, then pretty much every game do that on the PS3.
