Sony - Skyrim killed my ps3! - View Post

it is impossible for a game to break a console.
the only way this is possible is if the game tells your PS3 or other console to overwork itself, the only way this could happen is if the disk is differnt from the others
the PS3 and all other consoles is designed to have a auto-shut down in the case of over heating
the game did NOT break your ps3, your ps3 was going to break anyway or was on its last leg, or the fan could have been jammed or bad airflow.

in case people quote the 360 RROD, its not overheating exactly. RROD was the motherboard not being bolted properly, when the motherboard got hot it would expand, then it would cool down and contract, this broke circuits in the motherboard, thus hardware failure that is why the fix for RROD includes bolting the motherboard to the metal case of the xbox.
