hi. *i got a PS2 this past weekend, but there's some kind of shortage of memory cards in my area, so i'm trying to beat Final Fantasy 10 without saving. *is there an upper limit on how long the PS2 can be left on? *it didn't seem to warm up much during the 30+ hours i played it the first time. *i figure it will take at least 60 hours to finish it, so i'd like to know if the PS2 can handle this without exploding or melting or who knows what.

its really not good for the playstation you risk severe overheating plus the electric bill!!! :idea: *:read:

You played 30 hours straight!?

Didn't your fingers feel like they would fall off?
That definitely sounds like a record.... :idea:

I wouldn't advise doing any sessions like that again-having the system at full power in sessions like that could have an undue effect on the system and yourself.If you can't find a memory card locally then online is the way to go.There's definitely no shortage of online places to get one![/SIZE]

thanks for the info. *i finally found a memory card at a thrift shop. * the air coming from the PS2's cooling fan didn't start getting warm until about 40 hours into the second game. *there was a power failure while i was playing, that probably did more damage than the time i'm spending on it.

I'm glad you found a memory card. Your ps2 coulda broke on you.Final fantasy 10 is a very long game to mess with the power on for the amount of time that you did.
