Freezing is better than freezing, getting red lights of doom, and dang near exploding! Ok, well maybe not exploding, but I'm tired of sending off my 360 :'(

LOL thats the only freeze I ever got. And that was like one of the first games I played. I haven't gotten one since. I never heard of a out of game internet freeze, so that may be a problem, although a odd one.

Indeed. When the game freezes, the whole system gets screwy also. I'm quite close in completing the last mission, after that, i'll never put this bloody game in my console. EVER AGAIN.

(btw, it's also a launched console.)

Usually, freezing isn't because of the system itself but the bugs in games and software. I noticed this when I played Oblivion and Motorstorm and opposed to Ratchet and Resistance. When playing the first two games, I noticed much more freezing than when I played the last two. That's my theory; I don't know if it's true or not

the only game that made my PS3 freeze is AC, other than that it works like magic and my console is from the Japanese Launch.

Its frozen once on me playing Ninja Gaiden, other than that, only AC, and that's cause of the freezing issue the game had.

Mine froze 3 times on Assassin's Creed, but that's a known problem with the game. It did, however, freeze up once today while I was playing Call of Duty 4 online.

Twice in Oblivion, both during combat with lots of blood (methinks a loop with blood coliision), and once getting into my ship in Ratchet and Clank it like... gave me an error, but didn't freeze, just showed a few numbers on screen... that was weird.. but besides that its been fine.

Mine only freezes when visiting web sites that are not supported by the PS3. Missing flash components or something linke that.

I don't own any games that are known to freeze friquently. Maybe Oblivion but I might even say that it hasfrozen not even one time for me.

The PS3 is known to be 'one stable hell of a console'. There are other products that are freezing because of manufacturing quality

It has frozen on Assassin's Creed plenty of times for me, but in the latest patch they've fixed the bug in AC. No idea if they done it with the other games, but it totally sucks when it does.

Yeah, a few times. Nothing serious.

If you have the info bar enabled, turn it off. It might be the cause of the freezing.

Warhawk caused my PS3 to freeze up on me a couple of times around the time it was launched. I guess a patch was released or it was fixed in the firmware because I haven't had a problem with that game in a really long time. And yes, I play it all the time.

My PS3 will freeze once and while randomly. Uncharted froze on me the other week once...

It happens occasionally, but not often. No big deal in my mind.

Mines froze a few times playing Warhawk. I think that was only because I had on the information bar. I turned that off and my PS3 has never froze up.

Mines frozen a few times and it's a launch 60GB. Most often times it's been software related. Recently the Info Bar has been causing halts so I just shut it off.
