i didn't know about this update,
thanx for the PSA
good to know not to use the ps4 or had it online enabled while this brick FW is out,
i haven't used my ps4 since beating FF VII RE since may, it's been closed and out of power since then (haven't use it for some time).
so im good, no bricks. i won't turn on my ps4 until they fix the broken fw, like v9.10+ etc.
im on the base "phat" ps4, and nowadays you can't find it that easily, so i need to be extra careful not to brick it.
and if it gets bricked, you can't just take the HDD from it and pop it in the ps5 and it'll work?
no cause you need to transfer all your stuff from the ps4 to the 5, but if it's bricked, you can't even do that, lol.
so, one more reason not to update the ps4 to FW v9.0 .
