Before I start, there is to be no fanboyism in this thread. I'm just saying how frustrated I am caused by the PSN etc.
After like a day off working out how to get my PS3 connected to my Orange Livebox, I finally did it. So, in order to play GTA IV multiplayer, I had to sign up to the "PlayStation Network" -- that was a bitch. I'm not use to typing out email addresses, passwords, names and all that using an analog stick on the controller. That was a pain, and took me about 5 minutes to do.
Second, I booted up GTA IV and let it load. It's normal for all the GTA IV art to past. I assume thats where its loading since its unskippable. Then comes the black screen saying "LOADING - MISSION NAME" -- it kept on going on, and on, and on. This was clearly not normal. So I turned off my PS3 (is there a way to reset instead of turn off?) and turned it back on again, this time logging out of my newly created PSN account.
Success! The game had loaded. I decided to go into my mobile phone, and select "Multiplayer" from the list. It asked me to sign into the PSN, and so I did. The mobile phone had a few options. I assume they were the game modes for GTA IV multiplayer. However, when trying to select one, I was completely stuck. Niko wasn't able to move, I wasn't able to select the menu by pressing the "PS" button in the middle off the controller - nothing was happening.
I tried again, same thing. This is frustrating. Do you think Rockstar will put a patch up for something like this? I want to have fun on multiplayer, but I guess I'll have to stick to singleplayer for now.

Tell your ps3 to sign in automatically on startup, thats how mine does, and I haven't had any freezes in GTA yet... and I am using the 60 gb model, the one they say is supposed to be the worst...
