Gran Turismo 5 keeps crashing, I have no idea why.
When it's loading up it freezes for ages with just the GT5 logo on screen, sometimes it loads but it can take up to 10 mins, then when it gets on the opening screen where you select Career mode, arcade mode etc and it shows you your current car in various backgrounds it shows the icons but you you cant select anything so you have to hold the PS button to take you back to PS Home menu, but then it signs you out of PSN and wont let you sign back in for about 4 days (at least thats how long it was on the last occasion).
Anyone experienced anything similar?

It used to do that when they 1st launched the game and it was down to the online servers not being able to cope with the amount of people so had to play it offline to start with but that was well over a month now since it was fixed and not had a problem with it since.

Notice Regarding the Status of the Online Service
Last Updated : Nov 25, 2010
Currently the online services of Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) is experiencing some extreme online traffic congestion.
Because GT5 performs online access not only when participating in online races and using community features, but also when starting the game and during the various screen displays in GT Mode, unfortunately this online congestion is also affecting standard gameplay.
If you are experiencing the following symptoms, we recommend that you temporarily play GT5 without connecting the PlayStation 3 (PS3) to the network.
(A) If you are finding it takes several minutes before being able to perform any actions in the following screens:
- Before the start of the opening movie, immediately after launching the game
- At the top screen after the game has started
- In various screens within GT Mode
(B) Or, when it takes several minutes or more to gain a result when the following operations are performed:
- When entering the open lobby, if it takes several minutes or more before the room list is acquired and displayed.
- When clicking on an ID in the participant list of a room, if it takes several minutes or more before the menu appears.
- When writing on the message boards within "Community", if it is taking several minutes or more for your posts to appear.
* Also, some of the following features have been limited intentionally as a measure to temporarily alleviate some of the network traffic. Due to these limitations, you will find that:
- The viewing and update of the [Log] in the Community section of GT Mode has been temporarily disabled.
- Changes to the Profile may not update in some cases.
- Changes to the Friend List may not update in some cases.
Currently we are simultaneously working on several different solutions to improve the network status and alleviate the network congestion as soon as possible. We are expecting to be able to provide a proper online service again soon.
We sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.
Reference Information
Temporary measures you can take for playing Offline
The following are procedures for preventing the PS3 from accessing the network when playing GT5.
Please note the steps introduced here are only temporary procedures you can take until the network conditions are improved.
(1) If GT5 is currently running, please quit the game.
(2) Go to [Settings] -> [Network Connections] -> [Internet Connection] and switch the selection to [Disabled]
(3) Start GT5.
