I posted before about Destiny crashing my PS3 console at random times after I've entered the character menu. The game crashed while I was simply moving the pointer / mouse to examine my Titan character's items.
This past weekend after deleting and re-installing the PS3 game data from my console to see if it helped or not (now up to 1.04), all seemed okay for a day or so but then starting on Saturday, I've experienced multiple random crashes / lock ups / freezes with my console when my character is in the Tower walking around or interacting with Xur, Xander, and the Decryptologist and once in a Daily Strike Mission when my character was about to walk into a door. When my console crashes, it doesn't respond to any controller input so I can't quit or close Destiny and I have to power cycle my console using the on/off button.
My console must have reported a dozen or more crash reports with Sony and they should forward them on to Bungie, I think. I must have wasted an hour or more with all of these reboot / crash report / hard drive check and restore cycles to deal with the Destiny crashes.
The only pattern that I could see with the Tower crashes is that there is a vendor interaction involved - my character has to be interacting with a vendor (1st one during a Tower visit) or have finished an interaction with a vendor and is walking to another vendor or interacting with a 2nd / 3rd / ... vendor when the game crashes. Also, my character is wearing light-enabled armor and was at level 22/23 when the crashes began.
There's not enough data to see a pattern with the Daily Strike Mission crash.
If I didn't have to enter the Tower to progress my character, I would avoid it but since I don't have a choice, I wait as long as I can before I launch my character to the Tower.
If I remember anything else, I will update but maybe there's enough information here for you to fix this huge problem.

I experience 3 more crashes / lock ups / freezes last night. For the 1st time, the crash happened during the 30-90 sec, ship launch/landing animation that plays when the Tower is loading. The other two crashes were the "usual" and happened randomly on the Tower after I completed my vendor transactions (and returned to the Tower from the vendor menus). So far, I haven't had any crashes in the character menu when I'm in the Crucible. All the character menu crashes have happened when I'm in the Tower. I forgot to mention that in my original crash post, in addition to my character achieving level 22/23, my PS+ subscription expired at this time too. I don't know if it's all related but maybe it is.
