Answer 2

How long has your PS3 been on? if its been on a while and overheated that might be your problem. I remember when I was playing oblivion like 12 hrs straight it froze corrupted my data and wouldnt re-load so I just turned it off, came back later and everything worked fine, but I really don't know if that is the case with your PS3.

Answer 3

I know your not gonna wanna hear this but your gonna have to format your ps3 and install the latest fw which is 2.42...2.41 actually had many problems like that ... that is why 2.41 was taken down for a while and they introduced 2.42.
