Checked it isn't overheating? Might be worth opening it up and blowing out the dust/pollen which gets caught in the fans over the years. (use an aircan so you don't get humidity on the electronics)

Yeah it just crashes on my games, not blue ray. Buying a new one today it annoyed me so much yesterday, it got to the point where it couldn't even be bothered to load my friends lol.

My one is doing okay for a pensioner. It may have been what Stuto suggested, that it was overheating :)

I still have a tank PS3, works like a charm. I also freeze alot when I'm online on Black Cops and so do my other friends, pretty sure it's not your PS3 but the game itself.

Yeh, mines been freezing on black ops this weekend and GT5 multiplayer menu. But those are about the only games which freeze.

I've never had a playstation that's lasted more than a year.
Obviously I get a free replacement, but Sony should really send me a decent one next time!
The one I've got at the moment seems to work fine but the fan is RIDICULOUSLY loud!

Never had any problems with my PS3, although my original fat PS2 broke way back when.

Bought a PS3 the day they came out and had the same one ever since. Never had any problems with it :)

Freezing, no. But this morning mine decided to catch aids (YLOD).
