PS3 Update Bricks Your System

[Maxdoggy]

As the title says, the newest PS3 system update bricks your system if you have a larger hard drive. Just to be safe, don't install it, bro!

And this is a reason why i would rather get the next xbox. To not have to deal with this non-sense.

Each system has their non sense:

Also... This whole gaming thing is starting to not turn into a hobby. I just wanna pop in a game and play :'(

I can't believe the US Govt is getting involved in my hobbies like this. Although now a days their is no such thing as privacy anymore.. But sometimes I'd like to think I I have some...

Maybe I'll hold off from buying either of them.

Way to be completely off-topic, RaZ. Post that in the Xbox One vs. PS4 topic. Not here. This isn't the thread for that.

This thread is a PSA about the new update for the PS3.

Thats just dumb... this seems more towards getting people paranoid things are watching them... Like that message is just building paranoia... a message saying "This device has a camera and/or microphone built in"

and also why single out set top boxes? why not put that on Laptops or cell phones? they have the exact same capabilities....

From what i have heard of your government down there i really hate it... like i hate mine too but your garners almost just as much and i dont live there

Sorry I forgot to mention that the bricking is an isolated incident for people who have bad hard-drives.

better?

By "bad", do you mean "upgraded internal hard drives from Sony"? Then, yes.

Thanks for being on topic, though.

[RaZ Vader]

My guess is upgraded hard drives. But idk which kinds

[Maxdoggy]

Sony apologizes for the issue, still no fix available for bricked consoles.

This sounds less like a PSA and more like a hate thread for Sony.

What people turned it into, yes. What it was intended as, no.

The Kotaku article has people complaining about the BSoD on Windows all the way back from the XP days. Lmao.

[OPOC1L1PSE]

Sucks for those people... Well, I'm gonna go play mah xbawkz nao :D

[xXReiBearXx]

Never was a fan of PS3. I am sure PS4 wont have problems like this. At least I am in high hopes

Grapefruit is fucking amazing.
Seriously, if I had to rank fruits on a scale based on how damn awesome they are, it'd be like 3rd.

That made more sence then how much fucks I don't give about this thread. Once again Sony proves just how much of a competent company it is. Maybe next time it will just say fuck giving out people's info, crashing the servers and skull fucking people's consoles one at a time and instead just make your PS3 run loops of a massive list of everyone's personal info with a giant dick in the background. At the end of the loop one massive middle finger.

sony lover!!!

[bazongaman502]

This is one of the reasons why I never want to go Sony. I do hope this doesn't happen to the PS4, it sucks that it did happen, but in a way im not surprised at all by this.

Loop de loop? lol

There is hope for you PS3 people! The update will come in 6 days, though.
