Sony Working on Firmware Update to Fix GTA Freezing Issues

GTA IV

Rockstar has thrown the ball back at Sony in terms of the freezing issues plaguing PS3 gamers with Grand Theft Auto IV. Apparently, Rockstar didn’t do any testing with the 60GB console and the extra hardware inside is what’s causing the issue. At least that’s what they told a forum poster over at the official PlayStation forums.

So let me get this straight. I bought a 60GB console so I could have complete backwards compatibility and now there’s issues caused by that SKU? I hope Sony gets this straightened out so these issues don’t ever come up again because of differences in internal parts.

We’ll keep you posted as we hear more from Sony and Rockstar regarding the issue.

I had three freezes on my 60 gig PS3. Once I got the patch I haven’t froze once. So it atleast helped. And I’ve put on about 20 hours before and 20 after the patch.

My 60-gig PS3 is working just fine with GTA IV. It was working fine before that 17 meg patch too.
