Apparently it could be an issue following the recent PS3 update:

All, We're sorry to hear about these issues. I'm also ver... All,

We're sorry to hear about these issues. I'm also very sorry it's taken us this long to respond to you. We've been scurrying around trying to figure out what the cause could be and what we can do to resolve it. Because it's only occurring to a low number of users, it's been difficult to track down.

Unfortunately, it's nothing that we have any control over; it's occurring due to the latest PS firmware release. We're hoping that a new firmware is released soon that fixes these issues, but don't have an ETA.

In the meanwhile, clearing your Game Data can sometimes fix the issue. You can also try clearing your system cache by inserting a different game disc, running it once, then ejecting it and switching back to Uncharted 3.

Regards,

Doesn't look like the issue is resolved, but try this:

Infinite spinning ring for me, too... assuming infinite equals 4 minutes .

I have a PS3 "Slim" 250, latest firmware, latest UC3 patch.

I deleted four pieces of content that were in the Game Data utility, one of them being about "downloadable content". I was succesful in going into the UC3 menu without downloading 1.02 patch. Then, exited to the XMB.

Went into UC3 again, this time patching it. Again, success. I went to the Extras section and tried to view a video. Nice. [By the way, there's a "bug" in the title of one of the videos, it says "@Long Hidden@" where, I guess, the translation to Spanish should go ].

As I'm very crazy, I exited to the XMB and loaded the game again... Success! Now I'm heading to multiplayer.

I hope I don't get this bug again... The only thing I haven't done, yet, id downloading extra content, I'm a Fortune Hunter's Club member, and the last thing I remember doing, was downloading "fat Lazarevic" from the PS Store (not in game). Maybe this caused something?

Best regards!
