Playstation 3 heavy rain is an intense psychological thriller game, the storyline of which moves around 4 characters and a mysterious origami killer, who leaves little origami pieces at the scene of crime. The game specifications search in the internet yields sparse information like UPC 711719826423 and MPN PS3081642. The playstation heavy rain blog do reports problems of ‘freezing’ just after the initial credits. (freezing seems to be a common problem, with some playstations overcoming it, while others are staying frozen). Sometimes, the game also freezes when you want to replay a previous chapter. So, I thought it wise to report some specification-combinations where the game is freezing, and some playstation specifications where the game is operating fine. Hope these helps. Here are the specs.

The frozen specs listings are, new 140 gig PS3 slim, wireless DSL connection, SD 34”, Sanyo,. These specs listing also states that heavy rain has patch in the update 1.01. (I think the problem lies in the patch, because the specs listings of another playstation, where the game can be played easily, state that the update 1.01 in installed successfully.)

Here are the winning specs that are listed in the playstation heavy rain blog. 60 Gb (not at launch), Sanyo 27in. LCD w/HDMI and hardwired to Linksys WRT54G Router. The main point that is listed is that the update 1.01 is installed perfectly.

Also, listed in the heavy rain blog is the supposed firmware problem as one user commented that the blu-ray drive of the console died while playing.
