Not to play the whistle-blower among the Sony fraternity here, but my 60GB launch PAL PS3 did crash when i first went to save the game manually.
However, there was no having to unplug the console or anything, it reset in the normal way and has worked since (about 3 hours play). Also, the game still saved properly and the file wasn't corrupted.
So I don't think it's a major problem.
