Random Stuff → Uncharted 2 Causing PS3 to Freeze
I recently bought Uncharted 2. While the game is amazing, during the first 2 hours or so of gameplay, my PS3 froze 5 times. I was thoroughly pissed off about it since I had just bought the game.
After the 5th freeze, I decided to check the system updates for the PS3. I was running version 3.0. Sony released 3.01 on September 15th, but it was only an optional update which means you aren’t required to install it to still be able to access the PSN.
After updating to 3.01, I have played about 6 more hours and have not had another problem. The change log for 3.01 is “System stability during use of some PlayStation®3 format software has been improved.”. I can only assume that Uncharted 2 is one of those titles that was improved.
So for anybody who may be having problems with freezing while playing Uncharted 2, downloading the 3.01 update may help.
