Hey, I know this isn't the gratest place to ask this but since it is a very active forum, I'll post it here:

 

I was just playing GT5 Prologue and my PS3 froze when it was loading the race, should I be worried?? All I did to stop it was eject the disc and shut down the console.

 

Did this ever happen to you and should I worry about it??

 

Thanks, Alex

I'm no PS3-Ologist, But I think it could be overheating. Where do you keep it?

 

If you don't want my advice, I'm sure a few hundred fan-boys will come into this thread and play with you. biggrin.gif

It could be, however, I keep it in a very well ventilated place and I have just turned it on...it was on for maybe 30 minutes prior to the incident.

well the back always feels hot but I was told that was quite normal because it pushes out hot air, and it was like that ever since I got it. discs arent scratched at all.

If its not doing like every few minutes, then you are ok. Rare freezes do occur.

cool, thanks

I had my PS3 freeze once while playing one of the HL2 games from the Orange Box. Don't remember which one, and it was an isolated incident. It was a few months ago, and I haven't seen that happen since, so I don't think you have anything to worry about at this point.

Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns.

I appreciate your help guys, taking into account that this is not GTA related!
