I hear that the PS3 freezes and glitches when you play Assassins Creed?

If that's true, does that happen with other games as well?

If I'm about to spend $500-600 I don't want any bugs on mine =/

It was a problem with Assassin's Creed, not with the PS3. Ubisoft has since released a patch for that game which supposedly solves the problems.

I installed the patch. I'm still getting random crashes and odd visual artifacts. I'm done playing the game. I'll get to a certain point sometimes and I'll hear the "Accessing more Recent Memory", all the sudden, I'll get a "This disc can't be read message". Even though my disc is shiney and flawless. I can't be bothered with it anymore. Losing even 10 minutes of progress chronically is too annoying and ruins my experience. I've never had any other PS3 game crash on me. Oh well, uncharted and ratchet are awesome. I'll keep playing those. IMHO, games like Uncharted and Ratchet are madeby skilled professionals where it seems like companies like Ubisoft have pretty creative ideas but not that gifted of a programming team. Oh well. Maybe next year Ubisoft.

yes, it's really the game that is freezing. I've only had Asassin's Creed for a couple weeks. It's crashed on me more than 30 times, and given me a "cannot read disc" error a little over 12 times. My hard drive is going CRAZY when AC is running. I assume that the data is being cached to the drive while the game is running for faster load times (of which I see none. AC takes the longest to load of any game I have). NO OTHER game on my PS3 crashes for me, and I have a ton of games, including a crapload of PSN downloaded games. I play online a ton (Resistance and Warhawk) and have not had one crash. I think Ubisoft needs to get better programmers.

EDIT: My disc is just fine. no smudges or scratches. completely flawless.also, the game never crashes in the same place. :(

How the hell did this game get a 9.0 on this site? I'm starting to think they didn't even play it. :P

Just as much as they didnt' play uncharted or ratchet. look at the scores for both of those games. If they are so right about their scores. How come I refuse to play AC anymore, yet I'm playing Ratchet for a third time and Uncharted for a second time? I only visit this site for the forums :)

One of my friends is independently funded and is starting a site that uses the "user ratings" from all the different game sites. It's like metacritic but the scores are based on the people, not biased/fanboy publications. Magazines aren't considered, and only the sites that allow for user reviews are considered. There will be a second score generated based on the sum of the corporate reviewers multiplied by the ratio of their score to the user score. The third score will be the sites actual corporate reviewer score. He already worked it out for all of this years games for ps2, ps3, 360, psp, wii, etc... The results are amusing and very cool. It's about time someone kept these sites honest. Oh, and his site is gonna look awesome too. The artist doing the interface is great!
