Contest: Try to freeze or lock up your PS3

The rules are simple. Stress out your PS3. Try to lock the beast up.

Play games, Blu-Ray's, F@H, etc.

The first person to report their PS3 is locked up with a screenshot gets a jar of delicious cookies.

The photo must include your GS username otherwise we cry foul.

Go!

I could take a picture at any time of my PS3 and it will look frozen and/or locked up.

Maybe a video would be better.

But it's not going to happen.

Said all this before. My PS3 has been with me for 3 months now in Iraq. Temp outside is about 120 and if we move it to a command tent its about 140. Mix in all the sand and grime and you have a system that looks like it should be pinned with a purple heart. It has survived 5 inspections from Military Police (one where they shook it to see if anything was inside), 4 trips inside a troop transporter (AAV) and 2 trips in a backpack on a C-17 (jet that lands SUPER hard).

Now with all this my PS3 (and a buddys of mine) has yet to freeze or fall back. Some other systems (Hmmmm) have a life of a week or so. Dont get me wrong, Im gona need a new one as soon as I get home next week (fingers crossed) but this thing runs like a champ just like its little brother. If you guys can lock it up its gota be a game thing and not the system I would think.

i win i win can i get cookies lol

Locked up once in Oblivion, but of course that just Oblivion's fault. Locked up once in FFVII, right in the middle of one of the leviathan battles. Reset itself once because it was sitting ontop of my already really warm surround reciever.

I like the story of the war-torn PS3. I believe it. Kindof a clunky thing to carry around on your back in Iraq, but must be so worth it.

Play Oblivion for a long time then bring a bunch of enemies to one of the many random loading spots and fight them, its sure to freeze up or at least the possibility increases.Puppa_Shogun

yep.

My little bro has a bad habit of hitting the eject disc button while I'm playing. That seems to freeze the PS3.

I have a 20GB since Christmas of last year. It only has freezed up once. Seeing the extreme conditions the Marine has put his through. It is a well built oiled machine. I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!!

I can just picture a missle bouncing off the PS3 :D

I had it lock up in resistance, when I threw a hedgehog into a bunch of windos and enemies :D
