With AC its normal (though it never froze for me borfore and after patch) patch it and i should help with the problem... If it freezes with other games/no games you may want to worry...

DL the latest patch from the playstation site on your computer then put it on a memory device and jack it into the PS3, install the patch and see what happens...

try restore the settings(save your games) so it goes back to 1.80 and then download 2.01 from there. firmware 2.00 gave lots of ppl problems

Contact Sony or the shop that sold you the PS3, either one should want it sent to Sony for repair/replace.

i'm buying a ps3 tommorow (mainly because of rrod and overheating on the box)....... and all this is very concerning... sounds like next gen systems are ggetting ahead of themselves. what happeneed to taking the cartridge out and blowing in the slots then re-inserting. i suppose all systems had minor flaws. this stuff is the next generation of malfunctions too

Start with turning off the Info Bar.

I've had my PS3 since US launch and most all my freezes were software related. The Info Bar has given me hiccups lately. Every so often you get an odd hang up but nothing a quick reboot doesn't fix.

Is yours a 60gig?

I wouldn't worry too much.

Mine freezes while watching Blu Rays (this could be a dirty or scratched disc though? darn netflix)

Sometimes the video dies ( I have the shutdown controller button sequence memorised )

I would say my ps3 has locked up where I needed to power it down with the switch in the back maybe 6 times over the course of a year.

As someone above me said , try turning off the news ticker.

When I updated to 2.0 the only time mine froze was when the news ticker was loading..
