A little update from R*:

1. Delete L.A. Noire Game Data (not save data) from the PS3 Game Data Utility. On Xbox 360, clear the cache (My Xbox, System Settings, Device Options, Clear System Cache).
2. Create a temporary PS3 profile to ensure new save files are created. On Xbox 360, create a Silver Xbox Live Gamertag.
3. Launch L.A. Noire and try again. Try playing while signed out of PSN.
4. Check L.A. Noire disc for scratches, dust, dirt or other damage. Clean if necessary.
5. Check other game-discs on your PS3 or Xbox 360 to test whether it's L.A. Noire or the console playing up.
6. Try your L.A. Noire disc in a different console

Oops...  Or maybe I should not be posting it here since it's a negative PS3 thread?  Oh, guess what?  It helps Xbox 360 users as well.  So it's now alright, right...?

Most of these options offered up are actually worse then the problem. Which can be solved by returning the obviously defective game. Using alternate machines, and creating bogus accounts at least on the 360 should result in the same thing. My achievement score getting cock blocked. I am not very conversant with the system on the PS3, but shouldn't this block obtaining trophies. Why would anyone want to play a game that demands you play in stand alone mode.

The other options are basically standard practice anyway. You shouldn't need to be told to look for dirt, or to make sure that it isn't their system at fault. I am kind of shocked that they didn't list the number one recommendation on almost all such lists. Say it with me unplug the machine, and plug it back in. Everyone knows that is the only sure fire way to kill a Gremlin. Hey it is a little better then the older recommendation hit the damn thing till it works right.
