Has anyone else noticed this problem? When playing Uncharted my game freezes at the exact same spot everytime. When I first started the game it ran smooth up until the point where you find your broken plane along with a bunch of pirates...

And I dont believe its the PS3 because I put in a few other games after which worked fine. I even played GTAIV after for about 4hours straight with no hiccup.

P.S. I also bought a new slim today, so Im not sure if its an issue only with the slim or not.

Same issue for me... Uncharted keeps freezing up to the point where I have to power the system down with power button. Firmware 3.0 is probably the cause as Uncharted misbehaving under it seems to be a fairly widespread issue. I guess I'm going to wait for 3.01 to get released before continuing in the game.

Could be a problem with the servers of these games after the 3.0 update. I have had most of my games have issues at one time or another over time.

I haven't had any games freeze but I have three issues with the browser now. First is that it's actually slower than before, it froze on me twice (with one of those times requiring holding the power button to reset the PS3), and third is no audio from some of the sites I go to. I can live with the browser being a pile, but to have no audio 50% of the time is not acceptable. Also, what happened to no longer having to accept plug-ins

I'm pretty sure that the slim comes with the 3.0 update installed.

Well I got that with DW 6: empires... it was not however at the same time... very random and seemingly the faster I retry, the faster it freezes (actually froze at one point on the KOEI Logo section) It also froze for NHL 09 on the black screen prior to EA logo... but I could start a blue ray and ff-XII in that same time frame with no visible issues... but I didn't stay long in either to be sure at 100%

I also got some difficulties with my Dual Shock 3 controller the night before I started to get those repeated freezes... all occurred last weekend only a few days after I've updated to firmware 3

i feel sorry for you guys , not only that 3.0 is ugly as hell , its even broken , all the problem reports ensure me it was the right decision to disable online to avoid 3.0.
