Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose

[808]

Actually it seems the PS3s that you see in the glass case of the demo units are fake! It's just an empty shell. The real PS3 that you're playing is either behind the kiosk or elsewhere (follow the wires on the floor) in order to trick anyone who wants to steal the system from the glass case.

I know that already, its housed underneath. Which is an even smaller space.

And by the way, did the 360s that crashed start up again or did they permanently remain in the ring of light stage and could not be booted up again?

Some may have, I guess it depends on how bad it was damaged by the heat. I only played the demo 360 for about 10 minutes at ebgames. But playing the PS3, during demo play (for about 12 minutes) the game became incredibly laggy and then it shut down. This may be a console safety feature rather than one to prevent people from playing all day (if that is even true though).

*edit* I do have a 360, btw. I'll also be getting a PS3 when they are more readily available.

one would assume its a safety feature, so that no permanent damage is caused, it seems strange that it just shuts down, maybe firmware has fixed this so that you can save.

I'd say scratch the homebrew idea and give us better games (like Resident Evil). Well, nevermind, they kinda already did... Lol!

Nevermind, thanks Sony!

or like they did with resi 1 (remade on gamecube) do that on psp, with all of them!!

resi 0,1,2,3,4 & CV-X. And Remake FF7,8 & 9!
