I been having these a few times recently, mostly happens when the game has been running for a few hours, then sometimes when the disk spins up to read, the game ends up freezing, you can see the screen as it was the second before disk spinned up, also the music continues as it was before (background tune just looping etc). Have to switch off from mains to restore.
Very annoying on red alert 3, was playing for like 30 mins, then as soon as I done the objective and the cutscene thinggy was loading, bam lol. Was not so bad in fallout 3 when it happened to me a lot (I played that a lot lol), since that had autosaves from the last doorway I went through hehe. With any other games it happens rarely, since I tend to play them for a hour or so then turn the ps off.
I am guessing this has something to do with either heat, the hdd or maybe both? (heat affecting the hdd etc?). If it is heat related, I hope the ps dies while under warranty lol, no way I will fork out for another 80gig one :S.
