Having Lots of Stuff on Your Ps3 Such As Song Photos Videos Will This Cause your ps3 To Freeze Cause Today I was play Cod5 And it Just Froze For No Good Reason…?

Answer:
Yes. But COD: World At War is also a cause for this. If the songs were from the computer, and they came from Limewire (Or something similar) , they could contain viruses. As for the photos, yes. They can too. But, it is unlikely. As there are no PS3 specific viruses. But some Windows viruses can interfere with some basic PS3 components. Like online connectivity. And when the PS3 reads the virus, it is trying to figure out how to read it. (As a program or photo file etc) And when the PS3 can’t decide what kind of file it is, it will freeze so it can’t harm the PS3s data. So, just to be safe. Go and remove the photos that you downloaded off of the internet, and only keep the ones that you took yourself. Same with the songs. If you didn’t rip them to the PS3 yourself, they must have came from a computer. And even if the song came from a good source like iTunes, viruses can ‘attach’ to this file. Making it a hidden virus. In a simple answer, Yes. The files on the PS3 can and will freeze your PS3. But only if it is a virus. -Wiiplay_ds
