Recently, within the last 2 days and all day today. My system has been crashing out of the blue. I crashed during entering Limsa Lominsa, and wasn't able to log back in because it would freeze in the logging screen. Other times it would freeze inside the Game. Haven't even played the Game today due to the fact I can't be online without it freezing. Sometimes it won't even let me shut off my PS3 normally, so I'm forced to pull the plug.

I'm skeptical that pulling the plug may be bad for my system and the game itself, leading to more Game freezes. But so far I have noticed nothing that could resolve it, and I haven't seen other PS3 players with the same issue.
