Did anyones whole PS3 crash, like I can't play any disc for more than 10-15 minutes now after playing this...wtf any people having the same issue

Have you been resetting your ps3 by turning the power button on and off?
You could try booting the ps3 in safe mode and simply restarting it, if your file system has been severely corrupted that could be the cause of your problem so "restoring the file system" *which is also done in safe mode* could fix the problem. It won't delete any data that isn't irreparably corrupted.

Yep my PS3 crashed, I'm sure it had a lot to do with the freezing issues, not that you could get this sorry company to ever admit any fault, and I know of one other person who post that there’s had crashed also in the same location as my Vault 22. And since that I have had to get a new PS3. If I was you and you can get your PS3 working again, trade this piece of garbage game in for anything else.

There is no software that can cause physical damage to your hardware. It is a common claim on the PS3 boards that software A, B, or C cause, have caused, or will cause your PS3 to "Brick". None of it is true.

While I don't disagree with this statement, I do think the software can "indirectly" damage one's hardware. If the software, eg FNV, causes your PS3 to completely freeze, there is really no other option than to turn off your PS3 using the switch in the back. You can make sure that the hard drive light is totally off when you hit the switch but still, you never know when you turn off the PS3 whether it will be damaged or not.

I bought this game a couple weeks ago and had nothing but problems with it.
At first it only froze every now and again but after awhile it got ridiculous, to the point where i couldnt play for more than 20 mins without havin to reset.
I looked online then and found out that i wasnt the only person havin this problem.
To save my ps3 from any unneccesary damage done by keep having to reset it all the time i decided to not play it again until (If) something is done about it.
Word must of got around about the problems aswell because i was in my local game station earlier and you can buy it brand new for only 20 pounds now.
Wish id known this beforehand

It crashes on my PS3 after about an 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Really think this should've been fixed before the release because surely they tested it. Minor bugs I can take (enemies that appear to have conquered gravity), but when it stops me from playing the game, I find it annoying.

Anyway, I know that there working on a patch and you can really only wait till then. Don't have a hissy fit because it's not going to make the patch come out any quicker.

Well...that wouldn't really be the fault of the software. If a hard reset is required and the user doesn't ensure that it is safe to do so you can't really blame either the hardware or the software. I have completed hundred of hard resets on various systems (PS3s and PCs and Notebooks...etc) and I have never once fried any electronic component doing so. It could, however, be rightfully claimed that malicious software could issue seemingly innocent commands to the system bios and cause a cascade of initially unrelated actions that when compounded can cause mechanical failure. I have seem this in viruses that act like DDOS attacks by causing the BIOS to request multi-gigabyte transfers from the HDD hundreds of times per minute for hours, days, or weeks on end. The HDD innocently acquiesces to the requests and ends up burning out the mechanical motor from over exertion. Even this can be claimed to be the fault of engineers who don't build in limitations to data requests. That would be wrong but some do try and blame poor design.
