Yes! I am glad I am not alone. I have noticed this too. It has to be 3.00, I don't believe that coincidence stuff.

No problems here.

I've played Batman: AA and watched the full season of Sons of Anarchy on Blu-ray with no problems.

Sadly, mine is freezing more than ever :(... It froze up 3 times in about 30 minutes.

I hope Sony fixes this soon.

No freezes yet for me. I even played a few minutes of Uncharted but I didn't want to push my luck so I stopped after a couple of fights.

I only freeze while using the Internet browser. When I think about it, I would even say that it freezes less after the 3.0 update.

After 3.0 & 3.01 my 60gb was freezing on batman at the same point, after looking about I discovered that it appears to be the DLC causing the issue, I deleted the Game Data from my PS3 (not the saves) and just reinstalled the basic game data from the disc, this cured the problem so hopefully this may help others out.

Since I updated to 3.00 a few weeks ago i've had 3 freezes then my PS3 died, 40GB model if that makes any differance, trying to find the cash to send it in for a repair.

Some grim news in this thread. I have a Slim 120gb PS3 and it's frozen once in a month, I believe. I sometimes have to reset my game on UFC '09 because it cannot fight a server but I don't think it actually freezes.

There has always been some games that would randomly freeze at one time or another. It's just like what happens when a PC does the same thing loading programs. Most freezes are just a software glitch in a game when it happens.

It's probably dirty discs and not the 3.0 update.

Mine hasn't frozen at all.. i heard a lot about this freezing issue with uncharted and that 3.01 hasn't helped a lot of people.. i hope it works fine for me because i want to play through it before Uncharted 2 comes out..

But yeah, my system has not frozen in a very long time..

My PS3 freezes now all the time when I use the internet and I have to press and hold the power button on the front until the PS3 beeps and turn off, but other then that it doesn't freeze during games or anything else so far.

My PS3 freezes WHEN I'M LEADING AN 8 PLAYER RACE ON CHENGHOU IN WIPEOUT AGAINST A TEAM OF 7 GERMAN RACERS. I was so pissed off. It was going to be the highlight of my racing career. ...but yeah, it happens more frequently now.

Well my froze yesterday on two games darkwatch(PS2) and MUA2(PS3). The MUA2 problem was fine when I restarted it but the darkwatch still frozed. I just bought the game from gamestop this Sept. so I got another copy today so I will see if it is just something to do with my BC with that game. I have the 80gb BC model so it could be an issue with software emulation. Though the MUA2 freeze does scare me a little. Well good thing I have an extended warranty from Target as I would get a slim if it failed. Also, since I have another BC 80gb that I only use for DVD and Bluray I could still play PS2 games. Well I hope this is just due to the 3.00 updates as I hope that Sony's productsare more reliable than just over a year.

I have 2 PS3s a 60GB and a 80GB one for me and my wife. And non of us have experienced any kind of freezing since 3.00. In fact in the 3 years we have owned our systems, non of us has ever had a freezing issue and we play alot of games for long periods of time.
