PS3 Firmware 2.40 problems

Well we did have to open our big mouths didn’t we?

After a number of PS3 owners reported problems with the 2.40 firmware download  locking up their PS3s, Sony moved yesterday afternoon & removed the update from their servers for further testing.

Here at Sweet Flag, we managed to get the firmware download & report to have no problems with it at all. The XMB ran smoothly while playing through the review copy of Battlefield: Bad Company all last night, so as Sony mentions; it looks to be a problem for a limited few.

Sony also state that they have had no reported problems from customers that have had their PS3 perform a successful firmware update.

How has the update effected your PS3?

    when I downloaded it my ps3 stays frozen on the screen before you log in to your ps3 account (not psn account).

    Hey Trent!

    Yes that is the common problem. The PS3 crashes at the screen where you get the wave effect. Have you been able to undo your firmware or does your PS3 stay unusable?
