Hi guys.

I started a new game on Shadow Hearts using my ps3, and i've got up to the first lottery.

Although, once i've pressed X and the it stops spining, my controls just freeze.

The music and animation in the background are still working, but nothing I press can get me out of the lottery screen (and it doesn't give me a prize either)

My disc is clean, and it used to work fine on my old ps2, so I think it may be a bug with the ps3.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah im having the same problem, its kinda making me mad cause ive been skipping all the lottery members so i wont be able to get member no.00. My disk seems to be in good condition to so it must be the ps3.

Crap spakle! I just put this in my PS3 (80 gig) and I got all the way to Fengtian when, lo and behold, the bloody lottery didn't work!!!! I almost threw my controller at the TV. I looked on other websites before coming back to Neoseeker to confirm my suspicions and found that many other users have the exact same issue. BUT!! If you look on Sony's website, the compatibility search engine says there are no major problems. I consider one of the more important sidequests not functioning and freezing your PS3 a big damn problem! I guess I shouldn't complain because the rest of the game works well (except for the occasional audio stutter) but it proves that Sony wants to sell a PS2 with every PS3.
