Yep, newest FW whichever that is. First time ever was probably 2-3 days ago, I don't have any other games so I can't check that, it only happens on a rare occasion, I've played atleast 13-14 games in the last week or two and its only done this once before right now. Not a major problem but I don't want it to become bigger. :(

The first time it happened was the day I played atleast 6-7 games in a row without turning the PS3 off. This time I played it for about half an hour and it happened.

BTW: Does the new TimeShift Multiplayer demo install on your PS3? I get an error every single time.

****, please do not say that. PLEASE.

This is a minor problem, and I think it may have to do with overheating I have my PS3 vertical so the top part is about 2mm from the top of the cabinet, if I move it vertical then the right part is 2mm from the side of the cabinet, therefore heat gets trapped I'm guessing?

Why is PS3 is running so hot, I have 2 360 and a PS3 but PS3 is byfar releasing the hottest air.

Well that not a problem, it could just mean that the PS3 is doing a better job of getting rid of the heat. There have been no major reports of PS3s overheating, but plenty stories about Xbox 360s overheating.

Ok, this is happening more and more often. Atleast 4 times in the past 2 days. I think something is up. I have a loud PS3, but the fan is no longer loud, however the games keep exiting. I think its an overheating issue, because my fan is going fast/loud and the game is exiting?

The PS3 is in an open environment, air accesses it from all 4 sides so I dunno??

Definitely strange.

To me overheating would usually = console lockup, not the console exiting the game, but maybe thats a "safety" feature.

Still under guarantee? I'd get it checked out :yes:

yeah, im thinking that its an overheating issue aswell. So i guess my fan is no longer working the way it should, because before it would fill my room with immense noise but the games would be working, but now its the opposite, the fan is pretty low in side, id say about speed 2 from the startup level.

i think id rather just attempt to return it from the retailer i got it from before dealing with Sony?

    • The $80 video game - A new frontier of cost, or a bridge too far?

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Personally I don't usually play most games enough to justify paying £75 / $100 for a single game. I recently got a Switch 2 which came bundled with Mario Kart World, due to some discount codes I worked out I paid approx. £30 for Mario Kart World getting it bundled with the console. If I had paid £75 for Mario Kart World I'll be honest I would have been very disappointed with it. The big open world is essentially empty and lacking any real content, the changes to go GP mode mean you only really do one lap in most races... compared to Mario Kart 8 which has pretty much always been available for around £40 you have to ask why the game is almost double the cost? Look at all the content available in a Forza Horizon game compared to Mario Kart. For £30 I feel the game is ok, its not bad, however its not amazing either.

      I think that the last game I bought on day-one was something like Ghost of Tsushima. I've come to realise that I don't have enough time (or sometimes inclination) to game as much as I used to, and I've got plenty of games to keep me occupied if I do decide to play. So I don't see the need to buy a game when it first releases - I wait until it goes on sale. If I'm really excited about a game and the price is under £50 then I would consider it, but anything over that price point gets ignored until the price comes down.

      For the foreseeable that is your choice. I'm interested tom try one, my wife was very pleased because one she is anti-social and driver chat annoys her and two more seriously there is a long history of drivers abusing women, it's rare, but it happens and more than it should. Sometimes she needs to get a late taxi and she says it may make her feel safer.

      5800x3d was chopped because it was too good, why bother releasing a new mid range.
