UPDATE! POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANT INFO.


I have 2.4 and I just decided to play some of my PSN games. I booted up Super Stardust HD, selected Arcade mode, then easy, and nothing happens. black screen for 3 minutes. Similar things have happened with Super Puzzle Fighter 2 and ECHOCHROME. I am re-installing SSHD to see if it helps.

Anyone experience this?

Other than the Fatal Inertia demo from two different territories freezing every time before the title screen even after three firmware updates... no, no problems.

Of course it does, he defined bricking as updating his PS3.

Did you install it over the demo or get the 4.0 update? I couldn't get the full version of SSHD to install with the demo last night, but after deleting the demo it worked fine. I haven't had a problem with any of my games. As I said last night I think it was merely that the full edition thought the demo was newer because of the 4.0 SSHD update.

The update has caused my 80GB PS3 to freeze twice, once while trying to connect to the online Store and once when I went into my Network Settings. Also firing up God of War cause horrible white static on the screen and a tremendous roar through my speakers. The game booted up and played OK after that but the in-game HUD wigged out on occasion. I've put in about 6 hours into it prior to the update and these issues never occurred.

I'm kinda afraid to fire it up again, to be honest...

 

[Speevy]

You're right, I'm stupid.

We’ve received no reports of hardware issues following a successful install.

I have never downloaded a Demo of it. Didn't even know there was one.

No worries. Hang in there - I'm sure Sony will have the firmware fixed very soon. It's working fine on my PS3 but now I'm a little nervous about switching the thing on in case it breaks!

how can it break after working fine? Dont worry... well, unless you worry about meteorites hitting you while going outside, in that case, be very worried...
