    Tried a bunch of different tracks and cars but no matter what I do the game freezes between six and seven seconds into a race.  
     
    Did GT5 kill my ps3? Is there a fix for the problem? Find out this and more next time one, "This topic". 
     
    Seriously though. I am freaking out over here.

    @Devil240Z: Have you tried playing other games on your PS3 with similar results? 
     
    Edit: Also, what model you've got?

    @Devil240Z: I'd wager that it's the age of the console may have to do with it. But any luck so far?

    I think you could delete the install data in the options menu. Try that if you've the time. 
     
    I just did a short four minute race and it seems to work fine for me. Using a 120 GB Slim here.

    Weird suggestion but maybe because you're using a SIXAXIS-only controller? Maybe try deleting the update and install data and see what happens from there (like try playing the game without an update or play while the game is uninstalled). I have the same exact model PS3 you have and everything's been fine on my end. Maybe a possible faulty disc?

    I'm thinking that due to your user name here, in addition to the game freezing to represent the MARK OF THE BEAST (6.666!!?? Really!?), your console and/or soul are possessed by the devil.

    Get ready for much worse than a freezing GT5 race!

    Wtf? I thought they made it so you could play downloaded save files?  
    I was going to copy my old file to a different PSN and then gift all my cars back to me. But it says I cant use a another users save file. 
     
    I guess I can gift all my cars to a different PSN and then gift them all back to me again.  
     
    shit.. you can only gift one car per 24hours.  
     
    Fuck it I am going to bed.

    Can't you like back up your Save file, reformat or get a new PS3 or whatever you are going to do and just log back in with your original PSN name on a working machine to use the same save file? It technically ain't someone else's save file at that point since its the same PSN name.

    @FrankCanada97: Actually if you're feeling generous you could hook me up with a Ford Focus ST '06.  
    I can use it to do one of the seasonal events for some fast cash.

    @Devil240Z: That seems reasonable, so did you get your PS3 crashing thing sorted out? Just making sure it is so in a week you won't make another post saying how you lost everything again.

    I don't know. I was able to play a bunch of other games fine and when I backed up my save file and started a new game it played fine. But when I try to play my original save it freezes.
