Does anyone else's PS3 reboot when exiting the game?

Yep. Mine does it to.. It seem to be a issue with the digital version the most. My disc copy doesnt do in my other Ps3's
 
It has happened to me twice on my 1 year old 500GB slim: The first time was after it had installed the first update and the game just froze, second time was yesterday when the game froze for some reason and I exited the game at which point it beep-beep-beeped and restarted
 
Does it happen only if you shut the system off before quitting the game? Rather odd for that to happen, and I don't want it to keep rebooting when I get it.
 
No problem so far playing the game, it exits fine, goes back to XMB never froze, never beeped. using an old fat 80 GB that was bought in 2010, a bit before GT5.

As I read all the stories with this, many people did some kind of a modification to their units ( either upgrading or prevention reflowing because people heard of other stories) before it crashed when using GT6.

I'm not sayin that everyone whose game reboots is in that situation as I have read people having stock fat units to exhibit such behaviour, but I guess that modding in a way the unit jinxed it.

Its happened to me twice. No, its when I chose to quit the game, not shut down system. There shouldn't be any issue if just system shut down is chosen.
 
Well, after deleting update V1.01 (don't ask) and reinstalling it my PS3 no longer reboots when I quit GT6. I can now hit the PS button, quit, and go to the XMB as normal.
 
Mine too, pretty much every time. Got a 250GB slim. I wouldn't worry about it too much, seems more like the PS3 just being weird (let's build a console that literally reboots whenever you launch a game!) than a serious issue. It doesn't happen if you quit the game and then shut down.
