I was just playing through Portal for my second time, when on the loading screen my PS3 froze. I pressed down the power button on the front until it re-started, went onto Portal and my data was gone. My save files and game data. What went wrong. I hope my PS3 doesn't do that again in the future, this isn't a sign of breaking, is it?

I don't think so. It happened to me a couple of times, and it's still working fine. However, I'm not sure why it does that...

That game is known for having many glitches on the PS3 (The Orange Box was horribly ported) and so it is just the game and you have no need to worry. Remember to always back up your saved data either or a USB drive or an external hard drive from time to time =]

It just happens sometimes, mine has done it before. Make sure you don't switch the PS3 off if the orange HDD indicator is flashing, it can corrrupt save data. As you found out.
