I have repaired my system now and I am leary of the lockups it causes!

How did you repair your system?

Just happened to me at that same place as well. It also froze on me in an elevator scene earlier in the game. Both times I just waited a minute or so and it unfroze itself. It's really concerning and annoying.

Mine froze up as well at that part (was playing in720p) but it started working after a few seconds

I completely took it apart (every last piece), cleaned it, and did a reflow on the motherboard. A reflow is where you heat the motherboard to get the solder so hot again that all the pieces re-seat on the board. It took me 5 hours (I was slow and careful) and I am now considering repairing them for extra money. I am not working so I might do this as a side job. I have built and rebuilt several dozen computers (I even have 7 working in my house...hehe) The PS3s really are a lot like any computer and not as complicated as they seem. I mean I wouldn't be able to rebuild a disc player but they are easy to switch out with a new one that can be bought cheaply. Upgrading one should be really easy too and I might make myself a 500 gig hard drive version soon.

I had my first freeze whilst playing MP last night, bar that I have had no issues with how the game runs. It seems like luck most of the time when it comes to who it affects and doesn’t.

Same thing happened to me. I think it depends on people's connections though, but i'm not positive

game froze for me at the exact same location, when you walk down a set of stairs and books fall off the shelves. I think there are too many books and you have to wait until they all lie on the ground (too many objects to handle for the PS3?).

Another thing: is it normal that you lose the chapter select once you complete the game? I wanted to go back for some bronze trophies but I only have 'New Career' in the menu....
