I'm getting a PS3 soon and wanted to know, just how common it is that the GTAIV is FREEZING PS3s?

I was thinking maybe I'd hold out for an update or something if it's happening to a majority of GTAIV/PS3 owners.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well not breaking, I suppose that wasn't the best way to word it.

But I've read several complaints about it freezing the PS3 over and over.

I thought Rockstar already acknowledged and fixed that with a patch? Regardless, I've never had any problems.

I think I'll take my chances and get it after I get my PS3.

Here's hoping though that if a patch hasn't been released, it will soon.

Some say it only happened to the 60GB often and I'm getting the 40GB.

I have only two missions to go in the main story missions and have completed approximately 72% overall and the game didnt "break" but froze once and it was just in the "Pegorino's Pride" where I go near pegorino which turned out to be a loading after all.

Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) is NOT breaking PS3S'! I've had my copy of the game since it came out and my PS3 is just fine (knock on wood)

LMFAO the amount of research you did in hearing about freezing you never once came across the fact that ROCKSTAR PATCHED THE GAME A WEEK AFTER IT CAME OUT! it doesn't freeze anymore.

No it did fix the freezing problems because mine froze a couple of times before since the patch it never did it again. Delete your internet cache and delete your game data utility then re-install ur game and the patch again see if that works.

It freezes up sort of like pre-patch Assassin's Creed. I've had one freeze up while playing, but my friend has had it (same game and system) freeze up quite a few times on him. Its not fixed, its just really random. Disabling internet and deleting cache and crap seems to help, but lot of good it does for people who want to play it online.

G-Legend that wasn't what I heard, I just wanted this clarified here because the amount of threads to dig through on here is an effort.

Thanks for being an a** anyway. -_-'

I've been playing gta4 for the past month the game hasn't froze once. I've had my PS3 for 6 moths and it only froze once. I used to play COD4 for hours on end up to 12 hours at a time so my PS3 has gotten alot of use.

I have a 60gb and the game froze once when I first got it a couple hours in..I have now beat the entire game and played dozens of online matches and it still was that one rare occasion it froze for me in which case I was like "WTF!"

It has freezing problems with a lot of PS3's, but the problem has been overblown. All I had to do was turn off my useless information board on my PS3's dash and turn off my auto sign feature for my PSN account. Ive gone through the game twice since, and it hasnt frozen once.

Happend once, and Freezing also happens on the 360. So it doesnt matter which 1 you chose, either one has the possibility.
