That's very strange, and being it's a console version worsens the problem more, as if it was the PC version, you could mess with the game files or see if your hardware was the problem. I tried googling it but couldn't find anything, the only thing that comes to mind is to try your copy on another PS3 console (from a friend or at a store). If the problem doesn't duplicate, then it's something inside your own PS3.
