This sounds like the GTA4 problem all over again where a specific manufactured line of first gen PS3s had a hardware flaw.

didn't something similar to this also happen when GTAIV was released?
I remember I flat out couldn't play it. :/

R* seems to have a trend of issues similar to this, yet the first thing they do is blame the PS3 and a firmware then back peddle.
Fantastic work.
SO far everything seems mellow for those I know playing it, but is there a certain point people have hit in the game when issues start or has it been completely random?

I've tested this on my three Jtag 360s (2 Xenons, 1 Jasper). Using a Jtag allows me to go to my custom dashboard at any time and check CPU, GPU, RAM, and motherboard temperatures measured by the system's internal themocouples. From these readings, I can tell you that the running temperatures of my 360s playing LA Noire are comparable to what I'd get playing any other game. On my Xenons, the CPU gets the hottest (78 Celsius*), while on my Jasper the GPU gets hottest (~69 Celsius*).
*this was after I turned my fans down to normal speed.

I don't think you can assign blame to either company exclusively. If there is an endemic programming issue with fan control on either the client end or the game, it should never have got to retail, Rockstar shouldn't have submitted the master and Sony shouldn't have let it go gold. If there is a real problem, they are both equally to blame.

I went ahead and headed up to gamestop to trade this in. He said they haven't really had any returns on this. For me, the game worked fine running off of the HDD. I made it all the way to the hit and run traffic case then that is when the lock ups started. I did prob 5 of the random dispatch calls as well.
Now the game will last maybe 5-20 minutes before it does a hard system lock. Unable to access the guide or anything, I just have to power the 360 off.
I did notice on the last run - I was playing off of the disc and the textures were having a extremely hard time trying to load. I would drive down roads for quite sometime before the textures and buildings would pop in.
Game is installing now to the HDD - 47% complete. I try it again and see. If that doesn't work then I see about heading over my friend's house sometime this weekend to try it on his xbox.

I think it's pretty obvious that L.A. Noire gives consoles a heavy workout, L.A. Noire players are likely to have bailed on the PS3 until it, and older PS3s have a habit of croaking when suddenly shifted from "90 minutes when a bluray is rented" to "ten hours a day". It's part PS3's iffy build quality (10% or so defective, far worse than most consoles no matter how bad the OG 360 is), part the leadless solder the EU dictated on everyone, part the game's reaching new levels of CPU/GPU usage, and part just "my PS3 died sometime since Heavy Rain, and L.A. Noire is the first thing I've turned it on for".
If 3.61 implemented the new browser core or something, that's a decent culprit too, tbh.

I wasnt having any problems on my PS3 from 2007 (or whenever MGS4 came out) until tonight. My PS3 fans have been a little loud lately but tonight they went into overdrive while playing LA Noire...they were almost as loud as a vacuum.
I shut the system down and took an air can to it and played LA Noire for another hour and they did not get that loud again, but I have a feeling now that it's only a short time until my PS3 dies.

It's normally loud but while playing LA noire the fans go so loud that they started to drown out the sound from the game...I wasnt exaggerating when I said my PS3 sounded liek a vaccuum.
For the past few months it's been doing this random thing where beeps three times and shuts down too.
Anyways I figured it was time to trade up for a slim so I traded it in to gamestop and put it towards a new Slim 320GB.

I have the sealead game sitting in front of me. Should I play this or is there a chance of damaging my system (40gb fatty)?
Well nothing will work now.
All my games are locking up now. I swear I didn't have any issues before and now everything from RDR to Kinect Adventures...
I was playing Mortal Kombat like crazy prior to this coming out and now it locks up too.
Perhaps La Noire taxed my system to death...idk. Hopefully I can pick up a 250GB 360 Slim tomorrow.
It will be my luck MS will announce a price drop at E3...

a patch was released today, seems like people are still reporting the same issues.
I just downloaded the patch and 5 seconds later...freeze.
I ended up getting a new xbox slim today, but wanted to see if the patch worked on my old one.
All of my games are locking up which never happened before La Noire. My gamestop said a bunch of people are returning the game for both PS3 and Xbox.

I have a launch 60gb PS3 running 3.60. I assume it's not safe yet for me to upgrade to 3.61?
