Really shows just how much of a problem getting trophies in was. Probably also explains why we didn't see an update until now.

Holy fucking shit! I can turn them off now? Thank goodness. Those things absolutely destroy atmosphere and flow. And you get them for doing nothing at all. Thank you Sony.

I can't wait for them to fix this problem so I can play the rest of the Walking Dead without pointless trophy stuff popping up.

That would actually explain why my filesystem rebuild died at 47%--500GB is about half of a terabyte. Or maybe I'm just clutching at straws.

1TB here and I've encountered the problem. Tried to system restore but now it wants to format my HDD. If they fix this fuckup with another update, can I install it or is reformatting my only option?
Fucking Sony. You fuckups.
Fucking Sony. You fuckups.
Welp according to the Sony Forums someone with 500GB got bricked too.. So maybe anything less than 500gb works?
Also people that bricked, try to reinstall the firmware from USB.

I see. So it's only happening to people who put non-factory HDDs in?
Is it an issue with drive size, or merely that it's a not a stock drive? Perhaps something Sony didn't test fully, probably only did testing on stock units.
Anyway, I've got a stock PS3 Slim.. the, uh... something-something GB version. I honestly can't remember which one it is, but I'm sure it can't be more than 250.. I think it was only 120GB.
Has anyone with a stock hard drive had the issue?
My copy of The Last of Us should be here any day now.. I'd really like to be able to play it with up to date patches, etc.

The superslim PS3 I have had a 500GB drive in it, and I had no problems. *shrug* I forgot to mention that last time.

No brick but my super slim is running PSN like crap now. Could be anything though...

I will risk a bricked PS3 for disabled trophy notifications.
I want to attempt this, but doubt it will make a difference.

No dice. My PS3 is now locked into rebuilding the filesystem--I can't get back to the recovery menu.
I'm using the oldschool fat PS3 with BC. Stock 60GB hard drive, seagate I believe. US region.
Geez, I may not like the fact I couldn't turn them off but I'm not THAT extreme about it!
Unless I just bought a new one and everything's still on the old system or on the cloud, then yeah sure why not. Warranty would cover it.
Thankfully trophies will be natively built in so it won't be like playing jenga with the OS.
