Hey everyone,
We are aware of reports that the recent PlayStation 3 system software update (version 4.45) has caused the XMB to not display on a small number of PS3 systems. We have temporarily taken 4.45 offline and are investigating the cause of the problem. We will announce when the system update is available for download as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.
When we have updates, I'll add them to this thread. In the meantime, you can go to this open community thread to add your feedback:
