Update 2: Sony and Rockstar Games have issued the following joint statement.

"We have received a very small number of customer support questions about PS3s overheating or shutting down while playing L.A. Noire. At this time, Rockstar Games and Sony can confirm that neither L.A. Noire or firmware update 3.61 are causing the PS3 hardware to overheat. We are both committed to working hard to find solutions to this and any issues that may arise. If you are experiencing any issues with L.A. Noire or your PS3 hardware, please contact technical support using any of the means provided below:

Rockstar Support
Rockstar Support on Twitter
PlayStation 3 Support"

Update 1: A Sony spokesperson has told EDGE that the firmware 3.61 is not responsible for L.A. Noire overheating issues. Sony also went on to say that "Rockstar have now updated their FAQ on the matter, have admitted that it is a fault with their latest title LA Noire and have offered a work around. It should also be noted that the issue with this title is not PS3 specific and is also affecting other consoles."

Rockstar Support is advising affected users to delete their game data (not their save data) from their PS3 or clear their cache on Xbox 360. Rockstar are currently describing such incidents as "isolated crashes."

Original Story: Sony's 3.61 firmware patch for the PS3, which attempted to secure consoles after the PSN breach, could be making older machines freeze or switch off.

This claim originated on an official Rockstar support page. However, this page has since been taken down, and Rockstar have stressed that this was not an official statement. The information was sourced by a member of their customer support team from the European PlayStation boards.

When the page was active, Rockstar support detailed "reports of PS3s overheating while playing L.A. Noire or beeping three times before shutting down/turning themselves off, mostly on older 60GB and 80GB fat models."

And that it was "confirmed locally that multiple games (Rockstar and non-Rockstar) overheat or freeze only when 3.61 is installed."

Again, Rockstar have stressed that this was not an official statement. When contacted for comment, Sony said, "We don't comment on rumours or speculation about our products."

no, I'm not playing L.A. Noire and I don't think I am after reading that it's the game and the update that's causing the PS3 to become faulty..

I don't even know which games I'd want from this list. I heard little big planet is dope though, even though it sounds like a kids game

^^^ I bought it when it first came out, it's aright. The online play can be a pain in the ass tho, but the levels that the players on the network creat can be pretty dope..... I regret buying it if that helps you out @ all!!

Dead nation is the only one that looks the slightest bit appealing to me.. People say imfamous is great but downloaded the demo when it 1st came out and thought it was stupid? Ain't the other 2 racing games? If so i probably won't get into them either.. They should had just put money in everybodys ps wallet!

 

[CHRISHOGGALYPSE]

I'll do a little research before I d/l them. When does this have to be done by?

 

[Robby2Slobby]

How do you get the free games?

 

[BIGSBY]

As Sony continues to rebuild the PlayStation Network and its related services, there comes grim news from Japan which indicates that this whole situation is far from over. Hackers recently cracked into the Sony-run Internet service provider So-Net, making off with a bunch of virtual currency.

According to reports, roughly 100,000 yen (or $1,224)'s worth of "Virtual Points" were thieves from around 128 customers. It would appear that no personal information was compromised, nor were any other accounts.

"At this point in our investigations, we have not confirmed any data leakage," said Sony. "We have not found any sign of a possibility that a third party has obtained members' names, address, birth dates and phone numbers."

Sony appears to have become the favorite target of hackers, and this latest attack shows that they're not done with the company yet. With that in mind, I think I'll be sticking with pre-paid cards for all my PlayStation Store purchases from now on, just to be safe

Contrary to previous reports, the PlayStation Store will not open its digital doors today in North America. Sony Computer Entertainment America reps confirm that we'll have to wait a little longer while the PlayStation Network deals with scheduled maintenance.

Sony's Jeff Rubenstein writes on the official PlayStation blog that "we're still targeting restoration of all services by the end of this month."

The PlayStation Store was supposedly coming back online today, the first step in a series of quick updates that would bring digital content for PlayStation 3 and PSP to those without an update since April 19.
