Thankfully everything booted back up ok...but here's the story:

-PS3 Slim 160 gb, stock, original hard drive
-Ran a few CPU vs. CPU games over the course of 3 hours
-Quit the game as usual and heard the "oh no!" double-beep sound and the system powered off (no I did not accidently "turn off system")
-Waited a few seconds and booted the PS3 back up and instead of being prompted with the typical "system was not shut down correctly" message I got something I'd never seen before saying:

"There was a software problem press "X" to report this to SCEA...pressing X will provide information to SCEA and the Developer about this problem"

-After pressing X to report the info I then got the usual "system was not shut down correctly" message and then it did an "auto" file check/restore.

Kind of a scary moment as I'd never seen the first message before. But it cleary stated it was a software issue. It's unfortuante Madden has its in-game bugs, but crashing my system is a whole other bag of potatoes!

Anyone else have this issue?
