Anyone experiencing the game crashing? It's happened to me 3 times already.
Once the game hung up while going back to the main menu, then again wile loading an off-line race event, then again while going back to the main menu from the online screen (which cost me about 200K in credits).

The game? Or my PS3 being too hot? Can't be the PS3... I've left it on for long periods of time in the past with no issues.
 
Hey guys first post here, but this used to always happen to me with gt4. it stopped after I turned off auto save. not sure if it will help but just my experience. Can yuou turn off auto save in gt5p?

look for me online, I try to race as clean as my skill allows. lol Im in Hawaii so it may be a lage time diffrence.

Did this occur after playing GTA IV at all?

Nah. GTP hasn't left my pS3 since it came in.
By the way, I was racing with you last night. A few of them, actually in Suzuka. I think I may have bumped you a couple times by accident. Sorry!
I was insertaliahere in the burgundy elise

I'll see if turning off auto-save fixes it.
 
I'm having a similar problem, the first time I power up the PS3 and start GT5P after a few seconds my Ps3 turns off completely, so I have to switch the power off and on aging so that i can start GTP5. But after this the PS3 stays rock solid for 3+ hours.

I have a 60GB PS3.
 
When running GT5:P demo, and later GT5:P proper, my 60GB PS3 used to occasionally power off, usually while I was just letting it idle on the menu/demo screen. It happened pretty rarely, maybe every week or two. I figured it might be a bug triggered by the game itself, but about a month ago it powered down for good and wouldn't turn back on (tried different cables, different outlet, etc).

Sony replaced it under warranty. I lost all my data, as I didn't have anything close to current backed up, and couldn't power it on to move anything off the HDD. Moving the HDD to another PS3 for a backup attempt was a waste of time, as the unit the HDD is formatted in is the only unit with which the HDD will be recognized.

So... just in case, I'd advise you to back up your data. If you do lose your PS3 as I did and have to exchange it, don't forget to let them know what media (Blu-Ray, DVD, specific title of the game/movie, etc) may be stuck inside, and they'll send it back with the replacement unit.
