My ps3 60b froze up after playing GTA4 also. I called sony and they know there is a problem with ps3 and GTA4. They at first wanted to charge me $150 to fix my machine because it was over a year old (by a few months). that to me was bull***t when you think a new PS3 cost $300! Luckily I mentioned it froze after playing GTA4 or i would have been out of luck… now they are replacing my machine. PS3 is a peice of sh*t. Xbox 360 stands behind their product more than sony does..

I had the game freeze on me once so I guess i can’t complain too much,it happened just after the intro video and then loading the safehouse in hove beach(1st safehouse)(can’t remeber my last save point before that) but its been perfect ever since. I havent played multiplayer yet but I did hit the option in the cell ph but it said (contact game or network provider!?)I won’t log in until I hear about some fixes for EVERYTHING and all issues….Man its too bad, I thought “State Of Emergency”(game not made by take 2,just a let down) would be Rockstars last accident,(well its more on take 2 then rockstar)otherwise,the game is awesome i hope evryone gets to enjoy it!!!!

this problem is also occurring to some people that have the 40 gb version of the PS3.
this is ridiculous, there better be a patch soon

I just disconnected from the PSN network and the game loaded no problem. This sucks however, as the real reason I bought this game was for the multiplayer capability. There needs to be a patch, and soon- or Rockstar won’t have my money!

I have th 80 gb…I was at about 18% and then the game would not load. Followed reset instructions and I am not having any issues. I rebooted Friday nite and played flawless all weekend. Hopefully it will continue running smooth. It is BS that you have to go through a long series of steps and it really sux b/c you cant play online. Hopefully a patch will come out and fix this problem. You spent 60 bucks on a super hyped game and it stops working the 4th day…Lawsuit ya heard of it???

I have the 60gb PS3. I have no problem with loading the savegames. But my game freezes during play. And it sems like it happends randomely after some time, mostly between 30min, to 4 hours.

Is this the same problem or am I the only one experiencing this.

Most people talks about Frezing during loading the savegames.

I have the 60g launch, and so far love it untill now!
i’M KINDA NOT REALLY GLAD THIS HAPPENED GTA4 JUST SHOWED THERE IS HARDWARE FLAW IN MY PS3, DA..T I WANT IT FIXED.
IF THE SAME DISKS PLAY ON MINE AND NOT YOURS THAN THATS SONY! ARE THE GAME DEVELOPERS SUPPOSE TO GO GET A FEW THOUSAND PS3 MADE FROM DIFFERNT TIMES, PLACES OF EACH MODEL TO TEST ARE SHOULD 1 PS3 PLAY THE SAME GAME AS ALL OF THEM.

If you have a 60GB, just turn off auto sign in (or sign out every time) when you play GTA 4. Could this be the first PS3 game virus?
