Damaging? No one's said anything about damaging... and honestly, software damaging your hardware is next to impossible.

I think he meant damaging it, as in him breaking it cause the game didn't work not the game causing it.

Um yes it has been bricking PS3s. I just sent mine to Sony for a replacement. Check out the Sony forums, lots of people have been sending theirs in for replacement

So, All I've been seeing is people saying "GTA4 trashed my PS3." with no real word as the the symptoms or other details about how it is breaking their hardware. Anyone care to fill me in?

@Kyrra - Heres what is happening - after GTA freezes and you powered off/powered on, the PS3 will not read any game discs, DVDs, or Blu-rays. Like I said, to people who think this isnt happening - check the forums, and it also took me literally 30 seconds of describing the problem to customer service for them to tell me they would send me new one.

@ Nate (#6)
Thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard. You either have no clue how the software/hardware relationship works, or your just an idiot. Software is what controls the hardware. Therefore if the software controls the hardware it can screw up the hardware in several ways. Whether it be writing invalid data to a harddrive or screwing the sectors, currupting critical data, even say leaving the cpu to fry by not automatically turning on the fan which the software is supposed to do. I could go on and on and on about software screwing hardware. You know how viruses work dont you? Some are software level yes, but some target hardware. Even the ECU in a car can fuck up the "hardware" if it were to fail in limiting the engine rev limit (causing a driver to potentially blow the engine)

It's gotten harder to damage hardware through code these days, but it's definitely far from impossible.

Nah, he has a life... it just exists in a virtual world. And now, apparently his life is over.

Glad this worked for the guy but bad news
The update was ineffective.

No online problems were fixed and freezing is still happening by the looks of it.

they need a patch where when the host leaves in multiplayer you don't have to go all the way back to sp mode, to get back into a game to have the host leave again..... etc.
