Well my old fat PS3 died shortly after I had started my crushing run...
Positive thing is my save with normal completed is uploaded to the cloud and at least I got to beat the game and got my Blu Ray out of the dead PS3...
Negative is I'm not sure I want to buy a new PS3 now just for U3 platinum..Time will tell...( I would have been more inclined to do this if I had not even been able to finish the game once, but I did that).
