GTA IV freezes sometimes, but there's a fix

Disaster! Panic! One of the biggest releases of the year and people are having problems? That almost never happens. Sometimes. Reports are coming in of Grand Theft Auto IV freezing during, and just after, the opening cutscene. Weirdly, anecdotal evidence is revealing that the issue seems to be exclusive to the 60GB version of the PS3. How frustrating!

Don't worry, there's a fix. Rockstar has stated that simply deleting your game data and then reinstalling will fix the issue. So if you're being plagued this particular bug then give that a go and see what happens. If it works, let us know. If it doesn't, then let us know that too. If you can keep the tears back long enough to type out a comment, that is.

My GTA4 has crashed once.

I was on a "date", visiting Burger Shot and I happend to be riding a bike. At the end of the date, my passenger started to get on the back of the bike when my system froze. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to switch off. PS button wouln't work.

I have a 4 week old PS3, 40GB, UK.

I know someone else with a 60GB that has also had one lock-up.

Anyone else?

(no, my system isn't overheating)
