There have been a number of reports from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Hands-on Review) owners that their PS3 games were freezing. This problem was not just to a certain model of Sony PS3, The Examiner reports that all makes and models were doing the same thing.
The time of the game freezing is not in one particular part of the game, but a number of users have said that the end of the game is where the issue happens most. However, some are also reporting that their game freezes at the start.
There are a number of reasons why this could be happening, Examiner says that it could be due to the console, the game or a glitch in the firmware. We do not think that it would be an issue with the console itself, as this would then cause other games to freeze.
The problem for those who have a copy of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, there is no fix just yet but we are certain that a fix will be available soon. The easiest way to try to solve this issue is take your game back to where you had purchased, hopefully exchanging the game for a new copy will help solve the issue. We cannot guarantee that this will solve the issue, but it is the first thing that you should try.

All ps3 Slim issue.
This has got to be the stupidest report ever. How about some proof of an actual problem instead of speculation from hearsay. Also, take the game back to the store? If there really is a problem with the game then other copies could have the same problem. Don’t be stupid. Hold onto the game and wait for a patch which will no doubt come in a matter of days if there really is a legit and broad problem with the game.
Not a scam…it’s true. I took mine back twice; and even took my system to a GameStop to ask for guidance. All other games and DVD’s play fine. So i hope a patch will be available soon.

You’re absolutely right, it’s just plain stupidity to think the problem is the disk, the problem is the firmware of the ps3 or the game data of the game, a patch or FW update is needed, return the game to the store… yeah right…
sounds like a microsoft stunt to me to try and ruin sales, sony and microsoft do this kind of thing all the time though ms seem to do it far more
Ive played the game through almost twice now, and it has not frozen once. A freezing issue is often related to heat, maybe - if theres any thruth to this - then its because they lack proper ventilataion.
As for taking the game back - bad advice. It will have nothing to do with the disk unless its scratched.
Don’t be silly. Even Microsoft’s Major Nelson has praised this game and is probably playing as I type. This game is fantastic. I own all current consoles, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PSP and this is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played on any system, if not the best and I’m only half way through and haven’t even tried multiplayer yet!
I’m the most unlucky gamer to ever walk the earth I got RROD and YLOD last week. Just a day or two apart from each other both systems break. PS3-3.00 and 3.01 and 360 update then it breaks. 360 is gonna get fixed even though I don’t play it but I’m really upset over my PS3 no Uncharted 2 yet :(. I hear that Sony Australia are owning up and fixing PS3’s for free. I’M WAITING SONY AMERICA!!!
Hello Dear Reader,
i have purchased my copy of the game uncharted among thiefs from the US, i have experienced some issues with my game aswell. It began in Chapter 18 with a glitch, with chapter 23 its permanent.
The Game makes the PS3 freeze, than you hear the doublebeep and your ps3 shutdown. Then, the red led is still blinking without any end in sight, but you can shut you console down by pressing the touch-sensor.
This Issue appears in the game (for example in the room with the shining earth thing in the middle) permanently.
and once by loading this checkpoint.
Is my copy failed ??
Do i need to change it as long as i have a garanty ?
this is no fake by ms fanboy or something.
im from germany and i bought this game from my favorite gamedealer. i have a 100% legit disc from the states.
