bought gta4 from psn store, unplayable

hi everyone

i have a 80gb ps3 system, not launch one, with a 500gb hdd and until now it works flawlessly. 

recently i noticed that gta games were on discount and since i have psn plus i got gta4 for about $10.

downloaded installed it and played it, well almost.

the problem is that i cant play the game because of its constant freezing. i cant even get to the first mission. 

im really worried since i dont know if i can get a refund, i spend $10 on this game (i know it isnt too much but its money after all) and now im wishing i had bought something else.

i already tried deleting the save files, deleting the game, redownloading it and reinstalling it, disabling internet connection, etc.

any help with this? thanks

I remember this being an issue when the game first came out, but it was the disc based versions, although I don't know what possible solutions may have been. 

I found this, hopefully it'l help.

sadly i already tried that and i dont know because mine is the digital one version so im worried

Hmmm weird, I just dl'd today and works perfectly. Try calling sony, perhaps they can give you a refund.

never experienced any of these problems.

sounds like your system could be bricking. maybe its not the game but your system itself. defragged it lately?

It's not the game, it's your system. I just bought and downloaded GTA IV as well and have had no problems.

but all my other games works flawlessly, both my blurays and digital ones.
