Hmm... I just played a couple of BF3 rounds a while ago and the system didn't ask for an update. Would stay away from updating for now until Sony has a word on this. Thanks for the Info! :)

yep! what I heard is those with 500+ GB Drives are mostly affected.

 

 

Also heard that Sony has removed the said update so it should be safe to everyone who has not updated yet and has no idea about the problem. No wonder I didn't get a notification on the update...

update 4.45, which causes your PS3 to get bricked, has been pulled back so the latest version at the moment is 4.41<br /><br />Sony hopes that by June 20 the get a fix for the people who's console got bricked, they'll have to download the fix to a usb stick and launch the console in safe mode.<br /><br />http://tweakers.net/nieuws/89787/playstation-3-update-445-laat-consoles-vastlopen.html

People who modified their PS3s are the mostly ones that are having problems.  When did Sony say it was ok to put in stuff that is not Sony certified ?  I think these people got what they deserved.

 I thought this was just a standard update from Sony affecting people of certain situations not people trying to crack their PS3
