The latest firmware 2.40 put out just Tuesday for the Sony Playstation 3 was apparently pulled shortly after its release due to multiple reported problems
caused by the update. If you’ve already gotten the update and things
are working fine you are one of the lucky ones, otherwise if you seem
to be faced with a bricked console you’ll need to be getting in touch
with Sony support or possibly trying to fix it yourself.Sony confirmed Wednesday that they had official pulled the available update within an hour after its release due to the reported problems, which they say were experienced by a “limited” number of PS3 gamers. The most common problem appears to be that the console gets “stuck” when booting and doesn’t get past that “wave” background display, never reaching the XMB. Some argue that formatting the PS3 hard disk will fix the problem which you can attempt, but at your own risk. The 2.40 firmware update includes a number of new cool features including in-game XMB access along with a new trophy system for player awards. |
