My PS3 just crashed.

Won't turn off or anything. So much for 400quid's worth.

And so it begins...

All joking aside, sorry to hear that mate

I assume it's well ventilated and all that, you are bound to get such suggestions.
I seem to remember a few people metioning that they had seen crashed/locked up PS3's
in those enclosed shop type displays and many blamed heat for that issue.

Well mine's totally open away from everything else so I dunno? It just froze and I couldn't do anything except disconnect the power lead?

It seems a few people are having lockups playing online.Was it online or just in a single player game?

Yeah it was online. The race on Motorstorm was just starting, countdown got to 1, and then it just froze.

That seems to be a problem that quite a few are having mate and hopefuly one that can be sorted out maybe.I don't think it's hardware related etc - well, from reading reports on the net anyway.

In fact i would take great comfort from knowing others are having the same issue if that makes sense.

Just did some basic googling for example..

Ah thanks. Doesn't look like it's worth sending back if it's such a widespread problem.

EDIT: Seems that they're having worst trouble than me anyway - I had one lockup over 40 races, and they seem to be having them every 5 or so.

ah brilliant, think for me that sums it up!

I'm not much of a gamer tbh, maybe thats why i'm not wow'd by the Ps3, dont get me wrong i am wow'd by the potential but i'm certainly not going to pay a premium for a good that's not going to deliver its full potential for 18 months yet....

Just look at the 360, only now are the next generation of games going to come through.... and reading the threads on here it apparently isnt as complex to create for!!!
