No he is correct, it's this game. I had the same issue with the GT Academy demo. I could play any other game in the world without any issues except this.. even GTA 5 runs flawlessly.. but something is wrong in this game. Odd.
The system doing a hard shut down like that means that there is some fault with the system that this game merely aggravated. It's usually related to heat.
You're not fat, just comfortable with your body.I am FAT PS3 80gb in 2008 and Run GT6 WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another day of flawless performance from my launch month fat 60gb PS3.Fat launch month 60gb model here and it hasn't missed a beat in hours of continuos play today.
They were at the end of the line 3+ years ago. All of our launch models should not have lasted this long.Proabably as many people reported their FAT's going down while playing GTA5 as there are complaining about GT6.
They (PS3 FAT)are at the end of the line people. It's coïncedence that it happens to you while playing GT6.
I just cannot beleive what treatment your consoles just have, so that you guys report crashing and units dying. Is the blasted thing on 24/7?
You oughta check that out.

I have a reverse compatible 80gig fat PS3 from launch year. It has died once before, (YLOD), and I have resurrected it. I had the GPU resoldered by a local shop, better thermal paste applied, and I swapped out for a better fan so that it would run cooler. My system has a noticeable whir to it now, and I also make sure the window is cracked nearby so that its area is cool. I also cover the system when I'm done so that it can't collect extra dust.
I do recommend people with the fat PS3s, with a few hours on hand, to physically take it apart and clean the fan at least twice a year as the stock fan collects dust like nobody's business causing overheating and the GPU to break a solder joint (YLOD). You can tell, if the air being released from the back of the system is hot, that it needs be cleaned out. I used to do it, and the one year I didn't is the year it died. Now I make sure it is always clean and cool. Over 7 years old and still kicking!
I have a fat 80gb PS3 with a 60gb SSD and it works great and loads everything in GT6 blindingly fast, even races only take a couple of seconds to load.
Nice! I have a 40gb ps3 so I'm interested in buying such a thing. What brand do you have and is it internal or external?![]()
