Gran Turismo 5
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Nov 24, 2010
Gran Turismo 5 is the fifth edition in the long running racing game series by Polyphony Digital. The game sports over 1000 vehicles, damage modeling on race cars, a dedicated television channel, lots of races, 16 player online multiplayer, and active weather.
Game freezes about 6 seconds into a race.
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.
Edit: Also, what model you've got?

1. I just played a couple different downloadable games just fine. I am about to put a disc based game in to try.
2. its a launch 60 gig.
EDIT: Played GTA4 just fine. no problems.

Played the first level of MW2. nothing... maybe my Install data got corrupted or something... "" @Devil240Z: I'd wager that it's the age of the console may have to do with it. But any luck so far? "
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?
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.

" @Devil240Z: Oh, in that case I'll happily gift you a couple of cars a long as they aren't super rare or expensive. "I would love anything I can use in one of those seasonal events. like a mini cooper s or a fiat 500.
anything I can use to build up my bankroll.
" @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.
