I am at level 15 with Boone + Ed-E for cooperative NPCs. I just activated the "I Put a Spell on You" mission to get on the monorail. I could not find Captain Curtis walking around Camp McCarran, so I put the protagonist (courier) to sleep until 7:15 am and then BAMM! the system crashes from the overload of NPCs spawning. Obsidian and Bethesda I hope you release a REAL patch soon.

McCarran is notably the best place to induce a freeze/crash on your PS3, two out of three of my crashes have been from here.
