I turned on my system today and went to play but it froze right after loading the trophies and the HDD screen!!! If it wont load next time I try to play I will be taking it back today!!!!!

Try uninstalling then reinstalling the game data.

Just did that and it worked I can play again.... anyone else having troubles with the light poles giving a "blind spot" or rather a huge grey blotch on the screen. This is happening near most light poles when you are going through Freeside on the way to the North entrance to the strip. Near the Kings and all that.

Im in freeside, I have 2000 caps, Im so close to getting into the strip. I load up my game save and it crashes after 10 seconds. Ive restarted my ps3 and tried again at least 6 times! Ive made multiple saves, ive made sure ive got loads of free memory space but still it freezes! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

try doing what rig 1989 said and un-install the game utility data and re-load it. Come on Obsidian this is bull [censored] you are [censored] ING up my favorite franchise. Again..... WE THE CONSUMER ARE NOT YOUR [censored]IN BETA TESTERS....WHERE IS OUR COMPENSATION FOR THIS BLAITENT SLAP IN THE FACE...do you care at all that you [censored] up a major title for a lot of ppl?!?!

maybe your save is corrupted.... do you turn of your ps3 properly

Go to the crimson caravan and buy the OLD COWBOY HAT. Put it on, that'll get you into the strip
