Hi, Wanna ask... Any of you experience hangs/lock-ups in the middle of a game? Mine happened for the 1st time just now. Was playing Ratchet & Clank (only a lowly 720p game), and was happily fighting a boss battle when the sound suddenly cut-off and the whole screen went black  All buttons on the DS3 are of no use, so I just powered off the unit via its power button (the only button left which works), the PS3 also made a few beeps before shutting down. Any ideas what went wrong? Overheat? Firmware issues? I'm on 3.56v1 btw... Thanks! |

320GB Slim, MY set... Bought about a month or two ago 
Added on February 9, 2011, 11:05 pmForgot to mention, I was also downloading a game from PSN while playing. And the PS3 can still start normally after that issue. This post has been edited by Dreamworks: Feb 9 2011, 11:05 PM |

QUOTE(dark_heart07 @ Feb 9 2011, 11:19 PM) by any chance u are using wi-fi??? Yup, connected wirelessly QUOTE(SSJBen @ Feb 10 2011, 03:29 AM) Nothing to worry about. The occasional lock up, especially when you're downloading also. Many games (in which case this time, R&C for you) sets your HDD for data access. This is to cut down on load times (primarily..), but downloading while playing may introduce lock-ups here and there sometimes. Not a big issue. You can take a check that games which installs data on the PS3 will take longer to load when your downloading something. Games which doesn't install, but uses the HDD as a pre-fetch space will also take longer to load as well. Thanks a bunch for the explanation, at least now I don't have to worry whether it was a defect or malfunction or something  |
