    Drake's fortune crashing like a mofo!

    Yeah...It's happened 3 times to me now. I have to reach back and turn it off because it freezes the whole system. This is only after 1 hour 30 minutes or so of play tonight. What's even worse, I can't even get to the friggin' title screen tonight now...it just loops the spinning coin and then freezes. Just to make sure, I turned it off and put in Unreal Tourney 3. Works fine.

    My bf is making a vid of it so you can see the PS3 in all of its non working glory. I'd say it overheated, but that doesn't make sense why this would happen. Anyone else who played it have major crashing issues? BTW, this is the first ps3 game I've played that crashes on a regular basis, and for that matter at all.

    Did you turn off the information board?

    Edit: From the video it looks like you did not.

          information board? that's what could be completely freezing up the ps3? But it wasn't showing when this was happening, and when I tried playing after the first freeze is what you saw, also w/ the music in a 1 second loop (it wasn't loading properly). The disc is perfect too.

            The information board was screwing up a lot of people's PS3s when they went to play games. Try turning it off, pretty please.

              Yeah, and it's not in the settings menu either. You press triangle on the information board in one of those network menus. Confused me for a while.

                Info board is evil....turn it off and your problem will more than likely be fixed.

                evil evil info board.....its annoying too.

                  The last time my PS3 froze was while I was playing the demo for Uncharted. Since then I've had no problems at all.

                  The only game that seems to have consistent problems for me is Ratchet and Clank, which froze the system a couple times, and tends to have sound problems while playing a couple of the cut scenes.

                  The only hardware I've had serious problems with is the Nyko Wiimote batteries (I have three that together amount to 1 and 1/4 batteries. At least one works properly).

                  At least I haven't heard much, if anything, about PS3's scratching disks, popping disks out mid-play-session, refusing to read disks, or dying prematurely.

                  evil evil info board.....its annoying too.
                  And pretty much useless if you check the store regularly.

                    So is this info board the PSN equivalent of the Xbox 360 dashboard/guide/blades?

                      Hell no.

                      The XMB is the equivalent of blades...
