This problem made my HDD file system corrupted just now and it also made me freeze before in HK Home. Someone sent me a reward from it, and I can't get it to the the freeze issue. Seems I might need to leave the Harbor Studio space alone before this can be fixed.

The problem I am having is that I can't see what gifts my friends already have apart from the ones I sent yesterday, and also my ps3 freezes when I send a gift and then try using the machine again then it freezes, it has happened 2 times. I'm not going anywhere near that evil machine for the time being.
Im in the same boat as Dan gonna give it a miss, because its not just me involved. If it was give a gnome a home day and I gave my friends a gnome I could actually cause my friends to have hdd issues freezing issues etc etc. Its actually homes Russian roulette machine .
It happened to me yesterday, and today. Everytime I tried to send someone a free gift, it freezes up. After it froze on me, it forces me to restart my PS3, and that angers me.
Oh, I found a solution. I will go to the gift shop, and use the built-in gift machine there, and/or buy the PS Home spaces that have the built in gift machine. That will work. From now on, I am not going to use the portable gift machine.
I gave up using the portable GM a long time ago. Always had problems with it. Like you, if i use it at all, I use the built-in one. Usually the one at the public Midnight Glade space. Even then, the delivery is super slow.
