Sony Pulls 2.40 Firmware Update After PS3 Adversely Affected >
2008/07/02 15:54:03: Posted by DM
Sony has pulled the 2.40 firmware update from their servers after tons of reports that user's PS3 units were acting "weird" and not working at all after updating. As you can see by the linked thread in the official PS3 forums, this is not a few users experiencing isolated incidents. One of the biggest games on the PS3 to date, MGS4, is being affected, with black screens and freezing reported. Oh boy Sony, did you not test something again? We so want to love the PS3, why are you making it so hard? (Thanks, Pur)

Well they better fix it before RROD !!!

This is why Sony shouldn't take MS step, isntead they should research a lot before doing so.

Multitasking is one big processor !!!

It needs to be done very well not like MS where more than 48 percent system gets RROD !

blacktiger: come on pull the sony poll from you a$$ and tell everyone they screwed up. dont bring the RROD into this. wow blacktiger not only do you know absolutly nothing about the system you dont own(PS3) but you know even less about the 360...just stop before you hurt yourself...you just owned yourself..just give up.

Update from Sony, "We are working diligently to isolate the problem for those few consumers and to identify a solution before we put the firmware back up."

dudeman: Update from Sony. PSN sucks donkey balls. Thats why it's free. We tried to copy a real online service but failed. We should have just stuck to Blu-Ray movies since thats the only thing the PS3 is good for.

WAIT B3YOND

What a pile of bullshit from sony, goes to show they don't give a fuk about there customers if there going to release software that kills your ps3. why didn't they test the update before releasing, things must be bad for sony if they can't afford to properly test there own software.

This is still better then RROD!!!

A buddy of mine is still waiting for his 360, been like 2 months so far. Sony just has to update the firmware which takes a few days or so, no biggie

Cybercell ! apparently for Xbox fans, they'll rather have RROD then a littly tiny probem on firmware update !
Written by arthur56k on 2008/07/05

why not adress all issues in one huge update like MS does, than having an update every month or every other month?

tiger, that update killed consoles, just like RRoD does, whats tiny in that?

arthur56k: I wouldn't bother with BlackTiger. He doesn't even own a PS3. And he was on here earlier spreading FUD about over 48% of all 360's getting RROD. So damn I guess 1 of the 2 360's I have purchased should have at least had the RROD by now. Too bad thats not the case.

figured, but we have all learnt to live with him, some constantly owning him
