Re: GTA IV PS3 lock up

This is my version of the PS3 GTA IV lock up. Attempting to run on a first run 60gb PS3 purchased on Dec. 27th 2006 (launch was Nov 2006).

System is connected through HDMI, test was attempted at 1080i and 720p with no luck. System rebooted multiple times and GTA reinstalled twice.

EDIT: "To all the people who keep posting OVER and OVER to sign out of PSN or disable the internet. THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING ME!! It is not the end all fix. There are still large groups of people on the Playstation Forum who disabling the internet DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM."

Follow the Drama at this thread over on the Playstation Forums:

UPDATE:
Just so everybody knows, the situation has been resolved for about a month now (wanted to make sure). Sony started sending out replacement units to anybody having this problem with GTAIV. So if you're having this lock up problem call them up and they will replace your unit within a week!

Try moving your ps3 to another spot because it looks like it isn't getting any air
