ive noticed that. after the last firmware update to the ps3. my ps3 has been freezing. but not while playing a game. but while launching it. u know when u put a disc. n then select it n push X the screen turns black and the game starts 3 or 4 seconds later. well on my ps3 it doesnt. at first it happened once in a while. i remember the first time it happened i was playing Shadows of the Damned. next time was a couple days later while i was trying to get on home. well now it happens every day. actually its happened twice a day. i was playing Deus Ex i quit n try to get on home. but home never launched. i had to literally unplug my ps3 from the wall cuz it wouldnt even turn off manually. so here is my questions. is anyone else having this problem? should i be worried?. or should i restore my HDD? cuz if it happened just with games then it would be my ps3 is not reading games. so idk what to think. oh and before ppl ask. no it doesnt freeze while playing. just at launching a game/home. any help would be appreciated.

Ive had that happen a few times even before the update, It was never every time though just on here and there instances. That goes for the failing to launch and having to unplug the system cause reset did nothing. I get alot of freezes when i use the internet browser more so than games or launching home. I dont think its an HDD problem but more a processing problem. Id just to be safe back up all my data if you havent already. Than if you want to try reformatting can try that. Not real sure that would help but cant hurt. Im not a fan of the slims and i assume thats what you have cause those are problems I didnt encounter with my fat but have had since getting a slim. Ive always thought the slim was a bit slower in certain things then the fats, It seemed slightly slower when loading up avatars or the themes section but maybe its just my imagination or cheaper MB's
