PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.4 Bricking Some PS3s

By Mark Wilson on July 2, 2008 at 11:39 PM

It’s not uncommon for firmware updates to go wonky, and apparently Sony’s 2.4 PS3 update is no exception. The PlayStation forums are scattered with various reports of bricked PS3s–users report that upon booting their system, the SIXAXIS controller will not sync and the video signal is blank with no sound. Unfortunately, you can never tell how widespread these issues are when the sampling is just one messageboard. And I’ve updated my 60GB launch unit without issue. Suckers.


Seriously though, any problems to report? (Suckers?) [PlayStation Forums via Maxconsole]

    My ps3 went a bit funny also after the update. But I struggled to get it restarted, after which everything was fine.
