Six months ago, probably more, I hooked up a cooling tray to the PS3. A cheap one at that.
I've hard locked less than a dozen times since and mostly using the browser like a dolt.
Stop being lazy and fix your system...... I gave 5 ways to fix the system all you did was cry who is the troll?
1000 users out of a million would not be many and there is less then 100 that have posted here since launch..... Most can fix there problem if they do the work.
The online internet broswer does freeze that is something completely different and not related to the game.
I had the same problem when I first started the game. So I cleaned up my hard drive because it was almost full and since then it has been running good. Try cleaning out your hard drive and see if that helps.
Everyone I know has hard locks in this game every day (on PS3). I call it a "hard lock", if you have to press the button more than a couple of seconds.
Never had this before.
Oh - btw.: it is a bad idea, to turn UPnP on (if your network is connected to the internet):

Mine does this from time to time........ very annoying
