I haven't seen too many freezes (yet), but the major problem I'm having is that when I start the game up, there will be no sound, at all. This carries into the game itself, and even the little system "beep" at the beginning when it says it uses autosave. If I don't hear that beep, I know I have to reset.

It's not the system, as every other game works fine. At first I thought it was because a mic was plugged in, but that's clearly not the case, since it continues to happen. I wind up having to reset/restart the game and/or system several times before I'll get sound. I've also experienced choppy sound all the way through.

I've tried reinstalling, and even exchanged my first copy. I don't know what it is or how to fight it. It also concerns me that nobody else has complained about this, because it tells me that the developers/publishers are going to disregard it as a concern and just claim it's something wrong with my PS3, which it isn't (or if it is, I'd sure like to know what it is!)

Has nobody else had this problem? Really?
