Rockstar - your Playstation 3 is the reason why Grand Theft Auto IV is freezing!

xsynergyx | May 09, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 Company 
Aparentlly, people from the Playstation Board have been e-mailing Sony and Rockstar over the freezing problem in Grand Theft Auto IV and in one e-mail, they received a response from Rockstar that specifically said that Sony will be contacting them to repair/replace their Playstation 3 due to the freezing problem. Are they trying to say that it is your system that is the problem?

Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Please provide us with your mailing address and shirt size at your earliest convenience, as we would like to send you something as a token of our appreciation for your patience with this matter.

    Haha, passing the blame, even if it might be true. This sort of reminds me of the Wii's lens unable to read the SSBB disc sometimes.

    Is my PS3 also the reason why the ranking doesn't work at all, R*?

    It can't be all PS3's. Im not having problems with it. Also is this still happening after the patch or no?
    I haven't experienced any so i can't say anything on it.

    It's true. When I first played it the fan was going like mad, until eventually the game froze. So I got another fan and aimed it at my PS3 on full blast and I've never had the problem again. I doubt it's as simple as that for everyone's, but if it works like that on mine than it can't be a problem with the game can it?

    Although, the online rank system is still *bleep*ed because of them

      I'm just waiting for the thread from you, complaining that a fan broke your PS3. Seriously, save yourself the trouble now.

    So like is it just the 40GB PS3s that are having problems?

      Nope. Mine's 40GB and it works fine (fan assisted, of course)

    Haha. There's always minor bugs in games. Unfortunately, they have to be shed upon the biggest hits It will be fixed soon.
