I have a PS3 and (cod4, ac, rs:v and fifa 08),

I play the games and after I start it up the game seems to freeze, not always but sometimes and is really annoying;

Could it be something to do with it getting to hot?

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE?

Thanks Aaron

yup freezing is normal, on certain games (Unreal Tournament 3) it freezes more often. The only thing bad about this is it gets really annoying closing the PS3 and restarting it and then restarting the game.

try to keep it in an open breathable area.. you are most probably likely to freeze if your ps3 is too hot
but there are some games that has some issues and freeze (ut3-unfixed, ac-fixed, etc.) but i don't think its the ps3's fault :)

you have more of a chance of it freezing online than offline. Sometimes when I check my Orange Box TF2 ranking, it'll freeze up and I'll have to turn it off, but that's just a minor problem really. I've had no major problems with it freezing or turning off really.

Disabling the Media Server could help.

Mine has frozen while playing COD4 three times and Stranglehold once in the past month. If it happens twice more I'm going to contact Sony to take up the warranty.

my 40g froze a lot while I was playing COD4 and then it stopped reading games. I would take care of the problem before it's too late.

I haven't had time to call them yet. It took my friend about a week to get a replacement though after he had sent it. I think it's supposed to take 7-10 business days or something. Depends on what's wrong with it though, it took some people 20 days to get one back...
