I don't want to bother booting up the game if its just gonna freeze on me. 

Who  knows, some people have had no issue at all.

Stop being such a pussy.

I've had mine freeze on me only when I tried to access the PlayStation Store from the game. So, yes, 100% if you do that. Other than that, I've spent maybe like 7 hours or so and I've yet to have the game freeze.

Hasn't frozen on me, and I'm about ten hours in.

I have played about three or four hours in two sessions of gaming, and I have had no problems at all so far.  Hopefully, that will continue to be the case.

Are you people all on firmware 3.61? Apparently that's the problem.

I've been fine so far *knock on wood*

the game auto-saves so if it freezes you just turn off than on the system and you are good to go again, and plenty of people havent had issues at all so its not like your system will explode or something....

and for the love of stop trying to access the ps store since that seems to be a decent amount of the complaints even though people know that the store isnt even up yet.

@Hailinel: I don't think so. I haven't bothered to check lately and I have like three codes to redeem.

yeah....I've been playing this game off and on all day and nothing weird has happened with me. No freezing, no crashes, nothing. 

Even if it does for whatever reason, it autosaves after anything significant advances, so don't worry and just plat the game.

Is the PlayStation Store even up yet?

No.

The only time I had the game freeze was when I tried to access the PSN store in the menus, my guess is that it does that because the store is down. Other than that the game runs fine.

I'm about halfway done with it, and it hasn't frozen up on me or anything. I even went into the Playstation Store on accident, and it didn't freeze. So I'm just going to assume that most people aren't experiencing freezing issues.

@Hailinel: The PSN store being down seems to be the only thing that has any affect on it. If the whole online was down you just wouldn't be able to use the Ask the Community option when using Intuition points.

According to Rockstar, many people are. The earlier news article was about Rockstar acknowledging the problem. It's just weird how it's almost nonexistant on these boards. Things on this board seem to not translate into the real world very well.

I pointed this out earlier - the thread about which consoles you'll buy it on had over half the votes for PS3, but IRL 60% sold on 360. :P GB is backwards!

It looks there's a bit of a debate as to whether or not it's actually related to the firmware. People are saying in the comments on Rockstar's site and on NeoGAF that older 360 models are having overheating problems also. Sounds like it could be a problem on the game's end.
My 360 is pretty old so I'm a bit worried. I've played a lot without any issues, but now I'm wondering if I should wait until this gets cleared up.

I had it freeze once during a street crime, when I shot a guy that was running away.

Other than that though, it's been working fine.

I haven't had any trouble so far, granted I've only played for about 4-5 hours. I've got a feeling I'll be fine though. Buy the game. If it does cause you any trouble, it shouldn't be too much. 

The only time it froze for me was the PSN store function. Otherwise I'm 14 hours in and I have never had the game freeze on me ever.

I hope it gets fixed soon... My copy is arriving soon and I'm dying to play it.
