Same thing has happened to my ps3. I rang up Sony today and they are replacing it for free even though my warrantee has ran out. All because of the software update. Can I just say why do they have updates (every 2 weeks just about) and you can’t go on playstation store if you haven’t updated the new software it’s not like that on Xbox 360 and ps3 has a web browser. So ???Why???

[...] from their response, if i decided to buy PS3 … and i get problem in the future (just like Colt), i’ll need to cover / repair it myself … and as a side note, replacing a PS3 [...]

i am just thankful i haven't had mine hooked up...lol...i had it in parts for transport, and just connected it friday...too funny. first thing it said was "update available". it's always connected, so i guess i lucked out on that one. sorry to hear your loss, colt.

Oh, yah I downloaded it, doesn't look like anything special, other than the "trophy" addon and a search tool

@Gosszilla
yes Sony has fixed it all up so that there are no more errors (except on the ones that already donwloaded it >.< hint me)

See!
That's why i use nintendo, sony doesn't care if your psp doesn't work anymore, they're like oh darn, we missed this one! But no problem, we won't help the ones that already are messed up, we don't care!
Nintendo makes enough research to be sure it works at least!

I don't think I've updated to that, will mine skip this glitchy patch you think?

Thanks Hackencraft I may try that!

Yea that does suck... You could try wiping the hard drive on a computer or something and put it back in the ps3 so that it reads it like you've upgraded the drive and go from there?
