Playstation 3 GTA IV Suffers From Freezing Bug

[Uraloserface101]

Just a few hours post its official launch, and reports about the Playstation 3 version of GTA IV are flying all around the place.

"I got home from the midnight release with my copy of GTA IV Collectors' Edition unpacked it live on the feed installed and guess what, it froze", wrote Matt Griffin on his "Playstation Network @ Home" blog. "I tried a couple more times and it even have reinstalled 3 times, it still keeps freezing."

Matt Griffin is not alone, though. The same freezing bug has been confirmed on Collectors' and standard editions of the game running on 60GB and 20GB Playstation 3 consoles.

There is no official response yet, but Rockstar's technical support told one Playstation forum member to erase the game's installation and save games then start over. Unfortunately, this seemed to fix the problem for some users but not for the majority. Matt Griffin, for example, went so far as to quick format his Playstation 3 and have his Collectors' edition disc replaced by a standard one, but to no avail.

Few rants about the same problem occurring on Xbox 360 has been heard, but they are not as widespread as the Playstation 3 ones, and they don't have any proof to back them up yet.

same problem with bully appeared on Shit60. later they created a patch but no good problem still exists.

the main point is ROCKSTAR should develop the games only for PC because their is no such problem happens on PC!!!

they should think about it.

By the way any news on GTA 4 for PC.

At the moment there is no official word on it, but im my opinion i think they are milking all they can get from consoles before putting it on pc because of piracy issues
