Uncharted 2 freezing issue

PS3 News | Don't throw that controller.

Rarely a major new release goes by without some sort of problem these days, and Uncharted 2 appears to be no different. The Product Review website says there are a number of reports from gamers that their copies of Uncharted 2 were freezing, and that the problem wasn’t specific to a certain model of PlayStation 3.

Gamers have also said that the freezing doesn’t happen in any particular spot, but is more common at the start and at the end of the game. The problem, it is suggested, must relate to a glitch in the game or firmware rather than in the console itself, as faulty consoles would experience issues playing other games. Currently, a fix had not been announced, but in this day and age of updates post-release, we can expect one in the near future.

Again, on my Crushing playthrough, froze in almost exactly the same spot in Chapter 25. I'm sure Naughty Dog will get on top of it, and in any case, it seems to happen right after an autosave, so there's little harm done.

I updated to 3.01 just before I started Uncharted 2, just incase 3.00 had the same problem with the game that it did with the first one. Still don't know if it prevents Uncharted 2's freezing issues though.
