Shiva is inside my PS3!
I am the proud parent of a new PS3. Unfortunately, it was born with a birth defect. For some reason the PS3 likes to freeze on me, especially when I'm at a point in the game where I can't/didn't save (3 hours farming in the Ogir-Yensa Sandsea, *sigh*). It happens at least once a day. Everytime I play FFXII now, I'm covered from head to toe in sweat, fear, and paranoia. I also find myself praying a lot when I'm doing something time consuming/important. For those of you who own a PS3 *cue the crickets*, are you experiencing the same problem? For those of you who don't own a PS3, wait for a price drop/hardware update.

Re: Shiva is inside my PS3!
ya.
it really sounds like you have a Shive bug in there. lol ^_^ how long have you had your ps3? i don't have one but a close friend of mine does. His freezes, but its more of a skip kinda freeze.the game doesn't just stop playing for good, so you have to re-start it, it just freezes for a couple seconds.

Re: Shiva is inside my PS3!
Yes, it does. I actaully let my PS3 run for a few hours, then I cook my scrambled eggs and french toast on it. I actually thought the "heat" issue was causing it to freeze. To answer your question Kat, it actually "freezes." The music still plays, but the screen freezes, allowing me to stare blankly at the screen while silently swearing to myself for 15 minutes.

Re: Shiva is inside my PS3!
The heat scares me, because I don't want it to overheat and break. I be freaking out a lot, but I do love it. Even though I don't have any PS3 games on it yet.
Do you have any yet?

Re: Shiva is inside my PS3!
I have Virtua Fighter 5. I played it for 15 minutes, then SURPRISE!, it froze. VF5 is in time-out right now.

Re: Shiva is inside my PS3!
My FF XII only froze about 2-5 times in roughly 200 hrs.
Its usually when its loading/going through an FMV...otherwise I've had no problems. I still think its better than the problems that the 360 had upon launch...imagine what Microsoft must be spending for 'service/device updates' to ship all their units from and to your house. *Nightmares*

Re: Shiva is inside my PS3!
Better stick to your ps2 for the time being, I will buy a ps3 when some decent games come out, e.g final fantasy 13

Re: Shiva is inside my PS3!
I'll buy a PS3 when it can prove it is a reliable gaming machine and the price goes down a few hundred dollars.
