    Anyone notice their PS3 freezing on them a few times? This happens occasionally when I try to exit the PSN store or when I view a friend's profile and then exit. It seems to freeze for 30 seconds or so and then goes back to normal. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I get that on my Xbox 360, I think it's a Live / NXE problem.  Never had that problem with my PS3, but then again my PS3 friends list is currently completely empty.

    Mine has frozen a few times, but everytime it happens it seems to be because of the flash plug-in of the web browser. I use YouTube on my PS3 because my TV has better sound than my laptop, and it freezes sometimes.

    After exiting a game my PS3 will every so often freeze for a second then it will do the beep that it does when it turns on then instead of just exiting like normal it will completely restart the PS3 as if I had just turned it on instead of exiting to the XMB. FYI I have the newest 80GB model w/o the backwards compatibility.
