Yesterday Sony released a new firmware update for the Sony PlayStation 3, initially there were a few teething problems with some PS3 Slim owners trying to download the update, however these issues seem to have now resolved, however there now seems to be a different problem with the update.
The problem some gamers are experiencing is that some games are freezing, most commonly on Uncharted, but there are also reports that UFC and Bioshock also freeze, its hard to say for definite if the firmware update definitely caused this issue, but it is looking likely.

yepp, my ps3 froze yesterday on LittleBigPlanet AFTER downloading da 3.0 update
Yes have had freezing also on my original 60 gig model while playing metal gear solid.. 4 times now!! this is not good SONY!!!
fix asap!! plus friends list is pants
No both of my ps3’s are good to go with all the games I have played. Love my sackboy running arround in the background as well:). Thanks sony cant wait to see more backgrounds I have been waiting for that for a while now.
no problems here. not even with uncharted… i slipped it in yesterday to play and test the rumors. no freezes, just made me all excited for uncharted 2 is all.
What the hell? Hasn’t freezed on me at all!!!
Was playing Uncharted yesterday for a few hours, no problems here. My PS3 does freeze once in a while anyway, so it’d be hard to tell if the firmware was to blame.
When I closed the Internet browser on the PS3 and went to music to play a song it froze on me when I did click on the song.
I also noticed that it no longer allows you to play a song while going away from the song you’re playing screen, it used to be that if you were playing a song you could press the PS button and go somewhere else while still listening to the song but now if you press the PS button while playing a song it ask you if you want to exit and if you press yes the song stops if you press no it puts you right back to the song playing screen but doesn’t let you go away and keep listening the song at the same time.
updated my PS3 yesterday, and it started freezing when playing uncharted.
yes…
brand new PS3… only had it for 2 weeks… worked great, as soon as i did the update.. froze on Army of Two, COD4, Midnight Club 4 and Battlefield 1943….
I downloaded the latest update yesterday 03/09/09 and my PS3
is now crawling. It won’t load pictures from an external hard drive and takes forever to open main menu items.I am extremely unhappy because there was nothing wrong with the firmware as it was and you can’t refuse to update. Not unless you disconnect from the Net and why would you bother having a PS3 if you can’t use the net?
