My bro had this problem with or without a disc in the drive. Sent that sucker in... Now he has an MGS4 80GB and his old 60Gb is now owned by my cousin.

If it's freezing, give it a jacket, and keep it by an open fire.

When my PS3 kicked the bucket, they replaced for free "as a gesture", even though it was out of warranty (launch system)

I don't know why, though. Perhaps the woman thought I had a sexy voice, or something.

Anyway, when you call Sony, try and put on a Pierce Brosnan-esque voice, it could just save you a pile of wonga.

I have a launch 60gig (Now 120gig PS3)

Updated (4/11/2009)

Just bought Valkyria Chronicles (My First PS3 Install Game)

I get to scene 3, I take it I have to fight a small group of scouts... I don't really know because the game froze..

I heard music as if the loading was finished and the game was starting, but the music quickly stopped and the loading continued... it did this for about 5 minutes, then the music came on for a long time with just a Black Screen, then just a black screen with no music and I turned off my PS3...

Anyone have that problem with VC?

_______________________________

Heres what happened:

I popped in Uncharted and selected the game, it stayed on the XMB and just froze..

I pressed every button on the controller and even tried ejecting, with no luck.

I turn off the system, wait a few, and then turned it back on.

I select the game, it went to a black screen, and just sat there for 10min..

Again I pressed every button on the controller and even tried ejecting the game, this time the game popped out

I turned it off in the back, waited a few and then turned it back on.

I tried to start the game again and it started...

Is my PS3 about to kick the bucket?

This is not the first time my PS3 has froze, it froze a couple months ago.

Would like to know if it's something that happens with a 60gig or early models.

That's preposterous! Sony is the perfect company and would never make a defective machine like those stupid money hungry M$ people! Don't you remember last gen how much the Xbox would fail yet no PS2 would die?? Geez, you must be a MS fanboy ;)

What are you looking at, nerd?
