I have not had any problems with my PS3 until just recently,I started playing Uncharted while waiting for Mass Effect 2 and the damn game froze on me 3 times already,once I could just press the ps button and quit game,the other 2 times I had to turn the power switch off on the back,this has never happened before and I used to play this thing for HOURS when playing Resident Evil 5,so I hope it was just a game issue,because I have one of the launch release 60 GB backward compatible models.
My Xbox 360 has never done anything like this at all(knocks on wood).
