well this is some messed $h1t u know, i have a 60GB ps3 since launch, works fine, and nothin wrong with it. every other game works fine, but wat the hell is up with GTA4????!!!!! i mean almost everytime when ever i start a game after a few minutes it will freeze and it forces me to shut down the ps3 manually(not the back switch) is it me or are others experincing this too? and if so wat can i do to fix it? and is there gonna be a patch or something?

It's a known problem and I believe Rockstar is working to fix it. It is also occurring on some 360's. My PS3 is a launch 60 and I haven't had it occur.

What I'd like to know is why so many games lately have been causing PS3's and 360's to freeze. First CoD4 now GTA4.

My NHL 08 has been freezing forever and hasent been fixed yet. I just hope that when I get GTA this stuff doesn't happen to me or I won't be a happy camper.
