I'm just going to copy and paste my whole ordeal from PlayStation.com:
Well, after having many issues with the game from it completely freezing my PS3 to not being able to connect or when I do connect and then getting disconnected shortly after to not being able to connect to a server, I've decided to take Warhawk back. It's fun game with amazing game play, I give it that, but you can only enjoy it when you can get into a server and that's a big problem when it's an online only game.
I know it's a first week thing and you'll probably say give them some time to patch it but I've always been skeptical of picking up the game seeing as it came out so close to Heavenly Sword which has had my attention more than Warhawk and also because I'm more of a single player gamer so it's more so the issues forcing me back to my original debate on which one to get and Warhawk just isn't something I'm enjoying with the included frustrations at the moment.
I've already called Gamestop and they said as long as I have the receipt, I'd be able to return it so it's going back this week (sadly, I don't want to part with the really nice headset :( I hope Sony and Jabra can come to terms to sell it as an official, stand alone headset) and putting the funds towards Heavenly Sword instead.

I called another Gamestop that my mom can go to (closer to her work) and now they're telling me something different. They're telling me that they can only really exchange it for the same game and that if the freezing up issue is just the disc, which they'll check out themselves, then they'd exchange it. But talking to others on the board, it's not a specific disc related problem as some are having the issue with the PSN version as well so it's a 'game in general' issue depending on who you are.
So she said she'll call me back cause I'll probably have to explain everything to the guy if she takes it to him. The girl I talked to at the other one said nothing about this when I told her.

Last time I go this route. Now it's not just Warhawk that has forced this decision upon myself, but the last few online centric games I've bought or that were tailored for an online experience. It's just not worth the trouble of going through for me so I'm just going to avoid it altogether and stick to something I can enjoy which is the single player experience of a game.
Between Warhawk freezing my PS3 and Rainbow Six kicking me mid-match to the XMB or locking up when me and my cousin are playing T-Hunt on the SAME DAMN CONSOLE :|, I'm just gonna avoid them altogether. The only one I'm even positive of keeping an eye on is Metal Gear Solid Online but that's it.
I'm frustrated with the fact that Gamestop pretty much said I was lying about the game (Warhawk) freezing up my PS3 and said they've never heard of a game freezing up the system. And apparently, they know as the higher ups have told them to withhold any exchanges from the way the guy was talking about the matter and that the best they could do was exchange for another copy.
I'm through with their chain of stores...it's one thing to say 'We can only exchange it' but to call me a damn liar? To hell with you ass clowns. You've been ripping people off for years on trade in and I can tell you to kiss my go lucky ass for calling me a goddamn liar and they're lucky I wasn't in person returning the game instead of my mom cause I don't take kindly to some ass hat calling me a liar to my face, especially when other people are having the same issues.
