GTA4 makes my PS3 freeze up?

Well when I play GTA4, my PS3 freezes. It will say "Loading" and then stay like that. If I try to quit the game, my PS3 will make 3 continuous beeps and then show a blank screen. Ejecting the disc after the 3 beeps will cause my PS3 to restart.

I'm just wondering if any of you have experienced the same thing or if you know how to fix it?

Update:

I just got the game today, so I everything should be up to date. :(

Update 2:

The first time you put the game in, it makes you download the most up-to-date patches before you can play.

If I delete all the files and then re-download, wouldn't the files I download now be the ones I got 3 hours ago?

    Just because you got the game today does not mean the game is up to date.

    EDIT: Yes they are the same files. However, sometimes they may not have installed properly onto the hard drive which may cause problems. Reinstalling them may fix any corrputed files.

    Also, is this in singleplayer or is this online? If its online, this could potentially be normal, depending on your network setup and ISP.

    This happened when GTA first came out. Do you have the current update for GTA (do you have internet on your PS3). There is a glitch in the game, and if you don't have the current patch, then GTA will freeze.

    If you do have the current patch, then I would try deleting the game data (not save data) and re-installing it. This will cause the patch to be re-downloaded, which in turn will hopefully fix your problems.
