i just got the Platinum. The game froze on me more then 5 times. This game has some serious f/$%"*& problems ,,,first i thought something wrong with my ps3 but then whrn i google i find out everyone is having the same problems. This problem only occur during free ride. So drive only on the road to prevent the freezing issue. Salt over Snow- took me 1 hr and Sand to Stone 1 hr 25 min. Good Luck
