Seriously. Kind of smacks of FUD right now. I wouldn't put it past MS's viral marketing organization to do something like this around a big update for PS3.

Some one mail Kotaku and tell them the problem is alot wider then they reported!





Seriously now, after reading the thread on the Playstation forums where Kotaku got the "story" it seems the few guys having the problems got they're update download disconnected serveral times, which means the file probably got saved incorrectly, hence the problem.

I don't believe there's actually anything wrong with 2.4.

Would have been easier to only ask people whose PS3 bricked to post.
Which doesn't seem to be anyone here unless I missed a post.

What I'd like to know is how many times you've turned the system on and off.

Personally, I think the issue is with incompatible themes, and not the firmware itself.

Yeah updating firmware is a tricky thing, and usually bricks happen because of user error. As in they turn off the power before the firmware update is done finishing, or they have bad luck where the power gets cut off as the firmware update is installing.

Once those critical information in the console is corrupted it is toast.

impossible. before the ps3 actually launches the updating process, it checks the md5 of the downloaded firmware file. If it were corrupted in ANY WAY, md5 wouldn't match and ps3 would refuse to start updating.

Well maybe someone injected special nanomachines into md5 so it would be tricked into thinking the corrupted file was actually working. It's the Patriots.
