It froze up during the mission that teaches you about drunkenness. You can tell because everything hangs -- the control, the video, and the audio. I've also seen it shut down my PS3 when exiting the game to go back to the XMB. I've seen that happen with other games as well on rare occasions, and so far no ill effects have been seen with save data, but I continued playing, got through the same exact mission with no problems and haven't seen any other problems. I do hope they patch it though. Shane's right, this long in development and it should definitely not be doing this on launch-model units. Kotaku says that Rockstar is working on the issue adn that their support department says it’s affecting some 60GB PS3s as well as some Xbox 360′s.
