Well I bought FF13 for my birthday, im picking it up tomorrow. But not so long ag:Do, I remember to have seen something saying that FF13 can break your PS3...I've heard about people who were playing, and then suddenly their PS3 just stopped working (this apparently happened while playing and also after saving)

So I dug up a little deeper and I found out that apparently both sony and SE admited that the game can break your console...but sony blamed SE for the problem while SE blamed sony because it was apparently a "console software" problem...well at the end no one tryed fixing the problem (apparently) so sony did not released a system update for this and SE didnt released a game patch...

But after all, not everything that you read in the internet is true...so I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me if the game is actually potentially harmfull for my console...

I have a Fat ps3 (80gb) fabriqued in 2009

edit: wow apparently I just found out I used "apparently" a lot of times, just ignore that

The worst it can do is physically damage your PS3, and there is no way of fixing it that I know of.

Apparently.

Just go play it. Its just merely coincidence that their PS3 stopped working while playing the game. You only hear about it with big name games like Call of Duty and Final Fantasy. My PS3 got the ylod while playing MLB 10: The Show. I got the slim and kept on playing the game and what do you know? My slim didn't have problems playing the game. Basically what I'm saying is don't be worried and go ahead and have fun with your game.

It was fifteen minutes between posts. Chill dude, unfortunately we aren't all here to serve you. But, no, individual games do not cause systems to brick.

fifteen minutes?? it was longer for me...well I guess that is kind of a rough change after being at system wars and OT (where you will get 10 replies in less than 30 seconds) anyway, I find the lack of people reading this forum...disturbing

It didn't cause any problems for my PS3, however the battle system pretty much bricked my brain. Good grief, talk about boring and repetitive.

That's exactly the way I felt about Eternal Sonata. That game is just battle after battle. They all play out the same. Very boring. TC, to answer your question, games don't brick consoles. The consoles brick regardless of what game is in the system at the time. Popular games get accused of bricking systems because lots of people happen to be playing them at the same time.
