Well, it looks like 2.40 was pulled - Source. It's just speculation now as to what caused the update to be pulled. However, evidence is pointing to the fact that it was killing people's PS3's.

So I wanted to start a fresh thread to talk about this issue and NOTHING else!

I started a new thread because it'd be too hard to get an organized poll going in the other thread.

Please limit all post to two types:

A. Posts contributing new information about the bricking phenomenon (i.e. news stories, etc...) -- no anecdotal evidence about others, theories about the problem, or advice to others! (let's keep that in the offical 2.40 thread) and,

B. Posts providing short, concise answers to the three following questions:

---1. Did this update brick your PS3?
---2. Define "brick" in your case
---3. If it did brick your system, how many times did you reboot your PS3 before it bricked?

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
