This has affected my neighbour who bought our old 40GB PS3 when we got our Slim. It's a total disaster. She can't do anything with it, the system's damn near bricked. Won't acknowledge any disk, the date's wrong, it won't connect to PSN, the whole thing's screwed. The good news is that because of this she's finally had the decency to return the blu-rays and my copy of The Orange Box she borrowed for testing then conveniently forgot about. Ours is working perfectly so while she's been sat having a cup of coffee and complaining I've been watching Casino Royale in beautiful high definition.

This reminds me of the Wii System 4.2 update, but on a much greater scale.

A small percentage of Wii's got bricked. Still, Nintendo says there's a small chance of any update that the Wii can get bricked, it was just a large chance this time. And the update was also optional and the error was still very rare. This is, in most cases, unavoidable and affects a large majority of PS3 Fat systems.

With all the bugs in the fat ps3, how are they going to issue an update if you can't get online? Unless they have a way of you doing it via USB, or are going to issue everyone with a disc.

Yeah, you can download the update files on the PS website and put them on a USB stick, plug it into your PS3 and update from that.

I hope the bugs will get fixed (i hope i wont take a week because millions of (fat) ps3 gamers will be unable to play, if ya can play games its advised not to use the ps3 have it off completely and take out leads)
The way to do updates offline :
You can download updates on the ps3 website then make a folder called ps3 ---> update on the usb
put the update file in there

Sony says it "hopes" to get the problem fixed "within the next 24 hours," but it has also issued a sobering warning: "In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data."

Best of luck to those of you with PS3s. Remember, heed the advice and don't turn on your PS3s just to check whether you have this bug or not.
Hopefully this issue will get resolved completely in time for FF13.

Why do I get the feeling that Sony will not even fix this and instead asking you to send the PS3s in for a replacement.

Lucky bastard. Mine's affected. I was able to back up my saves, but I wasn't able to run a game.

They better fix this before March 11th.

My friend was QQing a lot today when he told me his PS3 borked because of this. He deleted his saves for the game he was playing because he thought it would work, and it didn't obviously.
