    In the bug, I am caught and the game proceeds as if I was caught. however, simultaneously, while I'm being caught, I also escape. Except my body is invisible. The girl is still helping carry me to escape... except my body is not in her arms. And both animations (me being caught and me escaping with the girl) are occurring SIMULTANEOUSLY on the screen as the camera bounces between the two. And then after the end of that chapter, I had no idea what had happened, until the start of the next chapter (the game chose to choose the one where I was captured).

    I had 3 different bugs. In Ethan's apartment I teleported above the stairs, then just kind of hovered, had to restart. The club with Madison, the camera locked on the close up of her face. I could walk, but couldn't see anything at all. And twice In the hotel when you get dressed, Ethan refused to walk, had to turn the ps3 off and back on.
     
    The game has some issues, but I got around them.

    I had 4 or 5 ranging from freezes, to audio/video synching being off to my favorite, after making eggs for Lauren she walks into the kitchen sits down and doesn't say anything. I couldn't leave the kitchen and there were no actions. After reloading I tried it again, she walked in and said something which kept the game moving that mysteriously never happened before.

    I had an odd audio freeze early on with Ethan and his wife. The audio completely dropped out, but the game did not freeze or anything; maybe fifteen seconds later as I was about to pull the trigger on reloading the audio popped back in right where it had cut off as if nothing had happened. I spent the rest of the game waiting for that to pop back up, to my surprise, it never did. 
     
    The only other outright bug I can remember is in the scene with Jayden at his hotel, after exiting ARI and the whole VR blurring into reality deal. I had walked into the bathroom and splashed water on my face, nothing happened. So I walked back out into the room and headed for the bottle of alcohol I had spotted before. Two gulps, he ran for the toilet, after I could not move at all and the scene just kept shifting from VR to reality. Reloaded and tried other things, but nothing ever triggered it again.

    with Ethan after giving the kid a snack, went into the store room and turned on the tv, no video or audio played, but subtitles did and he cried .
    with Madison in the burning apt. i caught fire and walked into the kitchen at the same time, it warped me into the living room but thought was in the kitchen, so i couldnt interact with anything, could walk through the fire fine, and her thoughts were of objects in the kitchen

    Man, I guess I'm lucky. I played the game in two sittings and had absolutely no issues.

    @Dj: yea sounds like you got pretty lucky.
     
    The bugs seem really random since very few people have head the same bugs pop up, I'm just glad that the ones I had didn't make me enjoy the game much less but were more of a irritant

    Yea, Ive had two game freezes, and a couple of bugs not being able to get someone an item, or not reacting to the item.  I know I couldnt get a glass of water, and other may have been the eggs.  Game is a bit buggy.

    The game froze on some loading screens for me.  Game froze on some camera angle changes.  Audio stuttering throughout.
     
    I'm just grateful that I didn't have an issue with save file corruption.

    I read on a Dutch game site that these bugs mostly occur on old model PS3s.  
    They couldn't explain specifically why.

    I didn't see any overt bugs, but this game does have serious clipping and screen tearing issues.  The screen tearing gets so bad it gives me a headache sometimes. 
     
    Don't matter, I loved this game.

    The only real bug I experience was the audio getting off sync.
