As we reported earlier, there appears to be some isolated cases of freezing PS3s when playing GTA IV.
Rockstar has acknowledged the issue and advised that those experiencing the problem should delete and reinstall the game data (this is the data that's installed on first start up of the game, not your saves).
The issue only seems to occur on US 60GB launch units, and the number of reported cases is few and far between. Hopefully you're not one of the people missing out on this fantastic title...a potential winner of Game of the Year.

I have a 60gb and it's never frozen on me in all the 15-20 hours I've played it. I did how ever install the game twice, the first time I installed it I walked away to get some food and I missed the opening sequence by the time I got back so I deleted it and reinstalled, so if I was going to have a freezing issue I suppose it would have been corrected before I evens tarted playing but frankly I figure itmust just bee too small a dna random an error ti even think twice about. The game is still awesome there's nothing about thiis game that sets it behind the 36* version aside from maybe the over burdened servers.

I hadn't had any major problems with the game until earlier today. It did have some slight hiccups the first 3 days or so, but now half the time I try and load the game it freezes on the " now loading" screen. It has also freezed once on right after I slept on the bed and saved my game(although it didn't even end up saving the game :( ) This problem isn't related to hard drive space, I have over 30 gigs available. It's a problem that rockstar overlooked, and is unnaceptable for a game of this caliber. I can deal with these issues for now, but Rockstar and Sony better not take ages to figure it out. It's a great game though, aside from this problem.

Personally i find this gaem pretty amazing. Granted yes the control are a little shotty but after a whiel you get used to them and its all good. just some of the littel details of the game are amazing. Take the RPG fo rinstance they rockets actually ricochet off certains all in all a game that will keep surprising you.
