Early PS3 adopters to get a firmware fix for GTA IV
If you have had your Playstation 3 since launch and Grand Theft Auto IV keeps crashing or not running correctly, worry no more because there could be a firmware made for the 60GB PS3’s.
A Playstation forum member had emailed 2K Games Tech Support stating that Sony are aware and are looking into a making a new firmware just for the earlier PS3’s. Here is the response from Take 2:
Hello Xxxxx,
There is an issue with the launch edition of the PS3 and this game, the game was checked over and passed as 100% compatible with the current version of the PS3, of course the earlier version has custom chips which mean that it is a very different animal from the current PS3 on sale.
Sony are aware of this difference and are looking into producing a new firmware just for the earlier version of the PS3.
Kind Regards

It’s good to see that action is being taken to tackle this problem. I have a launch PS3 model and haven’t witnessed any problems while playing GTA IV. Check back soon for more info as we get it.
