I personally haven’t had this problem but i have to say GTA:IV was the easiest GTA ever.

If your Xbox console is laying flat, try standing it on end. Worked for me.

Weird, I have not had any probs so far with the game. I have a 60GB model. I do hope they do find a solution for everyone, especially when we have to pay almost £50 for a game!!

Let Rockstar know by simply returning this game to where you bought it, remember the warranty is usually 90 days. That should pass the buck back on to the retailers and then back on to the programmers at Rockstar!!! I did!!!

hey this is happening on the 40Gb versions as well. Only bought the machine a week ago COD4 works fine as soon as i try to load a multiplayer game on GTA the whole system crashes. And then doesn’t load.

well like so many others i have the same issue, i have a launch 60GB PS3 and i am playing on a 42 inch sharp aquos HDtv and i have a wireless router running for my ps3’s internet connection. now i bought the ps3 at blockbuster the day it came out and i bought GTA4 the morning after it was released at gamestop. So i load my game, it freezes after 5-10 min and thats it. my ps3 also gets a little warmer than would like so i belive its a heat issue, it could just simply be trying to do to much all at the same time or the no load time feature is messing up and overloading the cache, either way i have no gaming going on and feel like rockstar has yet again let me down.

everywhere i read i see its only happening to the 60gb ps3’s, well i have a 40gb ps3 and my roommate has an 80gb ps3 and we both have the same problems, the game worked for the first couple of hours i played it, the next day i turned it on and my game never loaded, after several attempts i finally deleted the data and reinstallted the game and it worked fine again until i turned my system off and on again then the game once again never loaded…..i tried reinstalling the game again and now the game doesnt even finish the installation….what a waste of money

heyy..
i have just bought gta IV..
i am very disapointed
i waited all this time for the game to come out then this happens…a bug has ruined my ps3.
first off all,
it starts freezing,
then i quit the game and it restarts the whole system
and thirdly it stops reading the disk!
i hope that Rockstar find a solution to this!

My boyfriend bought it the day it came out and he’s been complaining about the character’s slow movement – not due to lagging or game issues, but just because they made the character slower.

I took the day off today with the intention of buying it and playing it for the whole day….until I couldn’t find anywhere stocking it, so at least I’ve avoided freezes while playing the game! ;)
