The bottom line is that the risks are not hidden, if you dont want to take the risk dont test the beta. Coming on the forums talking lawsuits is childish.

Interesting, I am of the opinion that it is childish to believe you are powerless simply because some one said so.

Stating that this is damaging PS3's should not be met with "Herp Derp, read the EULA!". The fact is this is doing some pretty serious damage in some cases.

Myself I've had this particular build make my PS3 shut off due to over-heating, it never happened last build or any of the previous ones. Now it wont last being on more than 5 minute without resetting itself and going into shutdown. The fact is that this build it has something beyond game breaking in it.

Have you seriously not noticed the massive frame drops and audio stuttering after playing a while?. I regular see 3 different people with different playstations all suffering this issue.

You can say "It's a beta!" or any crap that relates to the EULA. The fact is it is DAMAGING SYSTEMS by straining them to breaking and overheat point.

Pointing this out should not be met with cries of you read the law now deal with it. Are you all that mental not to realise that there's actually an issue here?.

I don't want money back I know what I signed up to, but there's definately an issue this build and I'm pretty sure it's to do with that skirmish map that should've been removed last build, not tweaked and put back in.

I was playing yesterday and mu PS3 just shut off mid game all on its own. I've never had that happen before with another game.

Just so you know, the chances of any software ruining your hardware unintentionally are pretty low. Almost impossible, really.

A hard freeze has almost no chance to ruin your PS3's ability to run. Neither does yanking out your power cord. However, yanking out your power cord can damage the cord or the input jack which CAN kitten up your PS3. Just hold the button down whenever you freeze and nothing bad will happen.


The "Checking hard drive" message that shows up after an unexpected shutdown is just a safety check and can almost always be skipped and ignored. Let it run once a month or so and run the rebuild database feature included with your PS3, and everything will be fine.
