Alright well I was misinformed from the last thread I read about duping causing your gamesave to grow. I will edit the thread.

I remember seeing that bullcrap back when the whole duping thing first started. I really can't imagine where that nonsense came from, but probably from somebody that was butthurt about how other players were playing the game and wanting to scare them out of duping. What was funny about it is that people ran with it without any shred of evidence backing it up.

Hey, my buddy Ron, who works as a janitor at Polyphony, says he overheard one of the staff saying something about a bug that causes your PS3 to explode if you save after playing for exactly 68 minutes in a single calendar day. Spread the word!
 
Oh great, this is like the AIDS of Gran Turismo 5.

This, quite frankly, absolutely needs to be fixed immediately. A game should not have a stopping point just because it reaches a file length, it needs to go for as permanently as possible.

The news especially sucks because Gran Turismo 5 is one of my favorite video games this gaming generation and I don't want to lose my progress just because there's a bug that will kill it.

Let's just pray for a fix before the majority of the Gran Turismo 5 active players are no longer able to access the game without losing all their save files. I know I won't be accessing the museum cards for a long time.

As for the rest of us, let's set up a guideline for when we should stop playing the game before it gets hit by the bug. A good rule of thumb would be 4,000 KB.
 
Sounds like... maybe the museum cards are compressed text, and it's not being recompressed when saving.. or it was supposed to save to the gamedata (instead of savedata)...
Or Aliens did it.
 
There is another thread about this that I believe clarifies that this problem only affects those who did not fully install the game and has their information cached. I believe one can fully install at any point even after the first initial start up. Here is the link. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=178287

Not true, my game is fully installed and my save data will still increase in size if I view museum cards.
