    Sony's firmware 3.00 hit earlier this month, coinciding with the launch of the 120GB PS3. The update promised a revised look and the inclusion of dynamic themes, but it came with a bug that caused a slew of titles to lock up and freeze at random, most notably Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

    Fortunately, Sony just released firmware 3.01. It's an optional update, and you won't be prompted to download it, so you need to update yourself. While it isn't quite clear what the full extent of the 3.01 is, it appears it does fix the Uncharted freezing issues. Numerous reports have hit forums across the net the Uncharted now works, and as someone that suffered from the freezing issues personally, I can confirm that the issue appears to have been fixed from a quick playthrough.
    The update comes at a perfect time - with less than one month to go until the sequel hits, now seems like the perfect time to run through the game for a quick refresher!

    Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I plan on popping Uncharted back in soon with the sequel just around the corner.

      I also noticed that I was getting random lockups in madden, particularly when exiting any lobby in the online part. I wasn't sure if that was from the firmware or just the game.

        From the 3.00 or the 3.01 update?

          I only had one freeze-up in Madden after 3.0...not sure that it wasn't what I did...but from what I can understand, there were some other issues which could have caused the freeze-ups other than Uncharted. Kudos to Sony for a quick fix.

            That was/is a Madden problem, not a firmware problem.

              3.00. It happened 3 times in one night last week.
