Only 1 game has ever done that to me: Assassin's Creed. And it's only happened 2 or 3 times.

Uncharted once .. Oblivion twice ..CanadianCR

Uncharted was my first experience of PS3 been froze

Other than that, most other games will not run smoother once I run the PS3 for more than 12 hours , a bit lag even its offline game.(Is it bad for my PS3 console?)

The only game I can think of would be Assassins Creed. I remember having to turn off my system while keeping my fingers crossed that I would not have corrupted data. My system was fine, but it was aggravating. Also, Bioshock would studder/hiccup from time to time, but it never froze up.

The only game I have ever had freeze up was CoD:WW so I checked around and eventually turned off media sharing (which I did not want to do!!) and no more freeze-ups, and my system is wired. What's up with that??

My PS3 crashes only occur when Im on the Web Browser or when I exit a game it very rarely resets itself (probably due to software glitch).

I'm a bit worried to see no posts regarding inFAMOUS. I had two freezes in that game before getting my first platinum trophy. It has never froze on me before that game, and hasn't since. I'm worried because I recently moved and after a bit of SF4 gaming, inFAMOUS came next. I hope I didn't knock the lens a bit to cause slight errors or something like that. I'm always incredibly gentle and protective of the PS3 though, and of course, it's always well ventilated, so I don't think I'm in trouble...
