Looks like Sony is in hot water again for yet another PlayStation 3 snafu. In April we told you about a class action lawsuit filed against Sony over its removal of the OS function on PlayStation3. Now a new class action lawsuit has been filed against Sony alleging some copies of Final Fantasy XIII are damaging PS3 consoles.
The class action lawsuit claims the game causes “severe damage” when played on PS3, including freezing the gaming console and making it “totally and permanently inoperable,” a phenomenon known as “bricking.” Even if the PS3 system doesn’t brick, many consumers find they are unable to play Final Fantasy XIII without it constantly freezing, making the game worthless.
The class action lawsuit claims both Sony, the maker of PlayStation 3, and Square Enix, the maker of Final Fantasy XIII, are aware of the damage being caused by their products, but have done little about it except to blame each other for the problem.
The class action lawsuit is seeking to make both companies liable for the property damage and to reimburse consumers for their losses, which could be upwards of $560.

There is no such possible way for a game to affect the system in any way, I’ve played final fantasy x and x-2 for 10 hours straight I don’t think it’s the game it could be the system malfunctioning. You should either bring it in for a trade or check the mother board of it or check the fan. Depends what kind of PS3 you have, if you have the slim one your out of luck but if you have the super slim you should be ok.
