Very rarely will any users of the Gamespot forums hear me criticize my PS3, but I think there is one that is worth posting...

I am currently playing Final Fantasy VII on my PS3 right now and have found that the game will stutter and slowdown dramatically whenever I use a summon materia. The game begins to crawl...music gets all messed up...and then everything goes back to normal. I am on the verge of getting the Knights of the Round materia and I DREAD the prospect of having to watch that jumbled mess stuff on my screen everytime I cast it...

Is anyone noticing flaws in the B/C of PS3 (60 GB versions). Obviously the hardware based component is NOT 100%, but I'm just curious to see how many flaws in games we can find.

For the record, this is the first game that I have encountered with any noticeable flaws in emulation.

They never said 60GB was 100% compatible. Here is the site for B/C. They don't seem to mention anything for Final Fantasy VII though.

I have not used any of the summons yet but I have run into a few sound problems. The starting sounds for limits and casting magic as well as one of the actual bolt spells. Apart from that I would say its run better then fine things seem to be running faster then when I last played it. (this is on a UK 60gb PS3)

What version of the console are you using? I'm using the U.S. NTSC version.

I seem to have a problem with Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence. Disk 1's (Snake Eater) movies won't load. I get the disk and question mark icons. IF it does load, it freezes. I can play the game just fine, but it won't play the videos (not ingame cutsences, the actual videos like the opening movie for example)

The only major problem I have is there just isn't enough time in a day to play all the games that can be played on the PS3. I did have a problem with AC Shattered Skies that the sound or video would go crazy from time to time, but after a call to Sony tech support and a later firmware update it hasn't happened again.

Yeah, I'm playing through Final Fantasy VII, but it doesn't bother me too much. I say that because I think I should be focusing on getting PS3 games instead of replaying through old classics (PSX/PS2) as much as I do.

chrono cross sometimes gets stuck on the elemental attack animations. seems mostly to happen when fighting bosses (extremely frustrating)

I never did finish the game and got it cheap (of course) a little while ago and was excited to be able to play it without a wired controller (so much more comfortable) but now i dont play it because of the frustration of having to turn off the game if i cast magic. :(

im a sad panda
