- game will not load. You will see the loading icon on the top right of the screen for few seconds and then nothing happens. I called Sony, I have to pay $150 to get this issue fixed. This is the second time I had to send this piece of **** back to sony in 14 months!!! Never again buying Sony - sjamil

This a new patch that has fried some of the system. I work for sony and this has become a big problen. it is done when both the american edition of GTA4 and COD 4 are played after each other due to limitation factors. This however is easily fixed by getting a screw driver and flickintg a reset switch that is in the CD tray. This is a genuine method and is what is done at the replacment sector in sony.
