With the recent release of L.A Noire, its be found that it has been making some PS3’s overheat, and/or even turning itself off whilst playing the game. However, earlier today Sony and Rockstar has made and quick small statement:
We have received a very small number of customer support questions about PS3s overheating or shutting down while playing L.A. Noire. At this time, Rockstar Games and Sony can confirm that neither L.A. Noire or firmware update 3.61 are causing the PS3 hardware to overheat. We are both committed to working hard to find solutions to this and any issues that may arise. If you are experiencing any issues with L.A. Noire or your PS3 hardware, please contact technical support using any of the means provided below:
