After concerns of online stability for the PS3 version of GTA4 were aired out online, Rockstar has formally responded with a patch that should fix what they claim are server-related issues.

Rockstar Games said:

Rockstar Games has released a GTA IV patch for Playstation 3 today that prevents Gamespy’s servers from being overloaded and therefore reduces the impact on those servers that were causing the game to stutter and lock up. We continue to monitor the performance of the game both on and offline and will provide further updates as necessary. We want to assure everyone that, together with our hardware partners, we continue to strive to give our fans the best possible interactive entertainment experiences possible. This update will ensure that everyone will experience Grand Theft Auto IV the way it was intended. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Maybe now we’ll be able to play a full online game of GTA4 on the PS3 before getting dropped.
