I'm having this same problem. Exactly the same way as you're describing. When it use to do this, I'd let it sit for a few minutes and it would bypass it, but this time it totally locks up my PS3.

If you don't sign in until you're at the main menu, it seems to work fine...but if you try to sign in before the game starts up or during the initial boot up, it freezes every time.
