PlayStation 3 Firmware Update Causes Problems

[PhunkyPhazon]

Glad mine isn't effected. Especially since I just got the thing.

Since the patch was designed to stop all the illegal stuffs, maybe bricking consoles was its intended function?

I got the update, everything is dandy for me

My old faithful release 60GB PS3 has yet to fail me. 3 years and counting since the PS3 was released?

I haven't updated actually, but yes the first gen PS3's are a faithful little puppy, always ready to play with. Unlike my Xbox... Gone through three of the damn things.

I never have many problems, if any, on the firmware updates so, meh. Either way, hope Sony fixes it soon. Usually fix it in a few days.

 

[Mr. Mike]

Haven't had any problems, but I haven't touched it in a while. I did play for an extended period with the update with no hitches though.

I find it very very entertaining whenever this happens. Another weapon I can pull out of my sleeve when my college buddy's tell me i'm inferior for owning an Xbox.

 

[Jeronus]

I got the new slim PS3 so it hasn't affected me yet.

 

[Darth_Dude]

No problems with mine, but shit happens?

 

[Tartarga]

Looks like I got lucky, my PS3 still works fine.

God, that update was fucking huge. I'm honestly just expecting them to come out and say, "hey, most of that update was needless padding! APRIL FOOLS!"

 

[johnman]

Thank god I play PC only, where I get to choose what fucks my machine up.

I hate to be that guy, but when the 360 got its system update on Tuesday there were 0 instances of system failure that I'm aware of. And great features were added, instead of removed.

 

[Corohan]

No problems here either.

im neither a fan of the xbox (i own one) nor am i a fan of the ps3 (my step dad owns one) but it seems that microsoft were bent on crippling the xbox with the rrod and for some reason sony think its funny to put the fear of god into every ps3 owner when they so much as utter the words "firmware update" lol

And ironically the only console to die due to a known issue for me was my PS3. My Xbox, still under warranty, busted because of some weird disc issue that caused it to totally lock up and refuse to open. Luckily there was no CD in it but apparently a motor burned out or something. I don't know nor do I care, it was replaced. My original 20GB PS3 though... Yellow Light. Poof, gone. So I bought a PS3 slim from a friend and I've kept the internet disabled ever since.

Oh come on, this is getting a little silly.

This is what, the third update that's crippled (some) people's machines? And then they couldn't program the clock right?

Hopefully this'll be the last of it - because if I ever get a PS3 to play Uncharted 2 I will beat the head of Sony down with a stick if my machine is crippled.

No, this is like the fourth or fifth problematic update.

As for the clock, that wasn't their fault. The manufacturer of one of the chips inside the system screwed up.

P.S. Thanks

Alright, I retract my clock-related statement.

Also, "thanks"?

In honor of Sony trademarking "P.S. Thanks", I've ended every single post I've made with that phrase.

P.S. Thanks
