Mine booted directly after the update and I play TLoU last night? Any chance I'll be okay?
lolPhil Harrison activated his sleeper agents.
Is PSN still down for yall? I never downloaded the update. and last time i tried it wouldnt let me log back in.
There is ALWAYS a conspiracy.
Microsoft could have been sniffing packets and injecting random ones and zeros.
See? Conspiracy.
I can't do that eitherI made it onto PSN on my Vita, but not my 4.45 PS3. Hmm
I can't do that either
lol, you do know that the ps3 checks the fw's MD5 after it's done downloading and PRIOR to starting the install, right?
PSN is back for me.

Hell, I'd take it a step further and say it was probably a poorly engineered (or more likely crudely patched in, miracle-that-it-works) feature period. If they held off and introduced with Vita/PS4 I imagine it'd work far smoother, or even if the PS3 was simply designed with more hooks and space available for these kind of feature updates. It was odd in the first place how trophies were an exception from disabling notifications, and now when they finally implement that feature issues hit the system. Nevermind that it took something like 4 or 5 years.Amen. And what? Blaming people who want the option for causing this update that's screwing up some systems? LOL. Yeah, a poorly engineered update is our fault.
Because some (many?) of us either don't want it in all games and some (definitely some) don't even want it in their games at all. It's a very gamey, standardized feature that we may feel either ruins or at least undermines the experience and we may just be sick of the mentality surrounding them. I'd rather each game did its own if it felt it was important to a game similar to games like Smash Bros, Kid Icarus, and Xenoblade so I can be rewarded and the notifications a natural part of the experience.Why the update? The trophy notification and sound is so cool... don´t know what the big deal is.
I wonder how are the people with bricked PS3s going to be able to fix their shit. I guess the answer is they won't.

Trying to decide whether to turn on my PS3.
I have plus, have not had it on since Sunday night, and figure that there is a good chance that it may have auto updated.
Firmware auto downloads..it doesn't auto update.
So, has Sony released an official statement on the matter yet? I'm pretty sure a considerable number of PS3s got bricked during this update.
Is it safe to update now?
Latest word on the PS forums is that Sony knows what the issue is and is fixing it, but has not put out any official comment.

It sounds like recovery mode still works so I don't think any got bricked, but it's possible that HDDs might have to be erased to fix the problem. Hopefully they can figure out a solution that doesn't involve that though.

I tried poking around with a few HDD repair tools on my PC and it can't detect anything on the drive. I don't think my HDD is salvageable at all. At this point I've already given up and just installed a new HDD.
