I got my PS3 at christmas and its been working great.

Then today it suddenly decided it was going to freeze half the time I play it.

It froze twice when fifa 2008 was loading, to the point where i had to shut down.

Then it froze 2 more times when i was trying to play cod4 offline.

Is anyone else having these problems?

Wow... it sucks to have freezing issues. I'm glad i never had the problem *touch wood* . Is your ps3 placed in a well ventilated area ? and is it vertical or horizontal ? You might wanna try change the position a bit.. or placing it in an open space and give it a try and see if it still freezes.

Mine has only frozen on me like 3-4 times. Nothing major though...Although i did lose a disk reader and had to send it in to sony, that sucked.

Never experienced that with my PS3

My 360 was freezing earlier, but thats just because I got a used copy of Splinter Cell: Double Agent lol. Took it back and got a different copy though, and it works fine.

Mine has froze before but there could be logical reasons for mine.

Assassin's creed:only one tie through my playthrough (did all save the cits and viewpoints) but that was before he update (I didn't have my PS3 hooked up online)

Warhawk-could have been server time out.

Oblivion-this game has been reported to freeze sometimes and besides that, I'm playing a rented/used copy.

it seems to freeze on ut3 as well. Not often, but just sucks that it happens. Maybe the games does have to get updated to fix that problem, happened to me for assassin's creed as well, just not anymore, and so did CoD4.

You must've done something bad, or someone around you because it doesn't just break itself.

Oh yeah.. i forgot to mention i was playing catch with it with one of my friends. The thing is he has hardly any hand eye coordination. ;)

Anyway, it seems like i am the only one with this problem. I think I will wait to see if it gets worse and if it does ill be calling Sony Thank you guys for you input.

reformat your HDD like someone already mentioned but be sure to save your game files to flash card before. Could also try a Restore Default Settings before reformating, it might help but you will lose your browser bookmarks and need to re setup your internet connection. I recently did a reformat myself for Uncharted. It had severe freezing and fell through the game world once. Had somehow created corrupted data that deleting my game saves didn't help. Reformated and no glitches at all now.

My PS3 has frozen a few times now.

It froze twice on the same day last week but my room was roasting hot so i just turned down my heating and opened a window near my PS3 to help ventilate it.

Have a look at your air vent and make sure they are clear of dust and they have got some clear space.

Dont bother calling sony... i had this problem before and they told me that i could still return it to best buy becuse my 30 day warrenty wasnt over yet... i recommed you to just return it where you got it from and they will give you a brand new one... if you got it in christmas that means the 30 day warrenty isnt over yet soo grab your ps3 put it in a box, grab your recipt and go to where ever you got it... and for sure they'll give youy a brand new one
