Yeah once. When I first got the PS3 back at launch. I turned on my bluetooth mic while I was playing Resistance online - and it froze the system.

I figured out it was because I didn't register the mic to the system, so I guess that overloaded it or something. I blame that on myself. But it's never frozen while I am playing a game otherwise.

I have a launch 60gig and it freezes at least once a month. It only seems to do it after a very long session of game play.

Well when GTA IV wasn't working well at launch it did it twice and 3 times at loading. And I've frozen once when in a lobby in COD4. I also froze during Oblivion like twice I think and UT3 has a account problem so I froze then too, but it's expected since two of those games had glitches and COD4 was on a faulty connection so I don't blame my PS3. I've had it since January 07.

I think it really depends on the game mate. I don't have problems with most games, but Assassin's Creed froze up almost every time I put it in. That is, until I started using that game for a coaster.

Works just fine as a coaster.

Cheers,

I got so lucky with that game.

All I ever got was a weird speed up thing. I tried to explain that to some. And the only thing one said, was maybe clock speed? I was like WTh?? Yea the game went into this odd thing, were the people started to walk awkwardly looking faster, and everything seemed a tad bit like it was in fast forward. Im trying to cath it on vid. And I will, if it ever happens again.

But besides that one awkward moment. Nothing. I got so lucky with that game. Because I saw a few play it after on their machine. And I did indeed see that game freeze.

We've had our 80GB since December, and never had problems with it
Even during long gameplays, like when we got GTAIV, the PS3 was on till 7 AM till midnight.

60 gig since launch. The information bar has made my system freeze, along with playing Warhawk a couple of times. NHL '08 has frozen also, but thats it....seems to be no big deal.

i have a 60gig, it froze a couple of times within a few months. then when i got assassins creed it kept doing it alot on that game then it stopped reading discs so i had to get the ps3 replaced. since then with the new one, in the space of about 5 months its only done i about 2-3 times.
