Ya i read that. Thats effed up. Lucky I have my original HDD. But bad news for upgraded HDD users. 

PS should give out free cloud backup and a selection of free games for the ones who got affected.

Thanks for posting man. It's also bricking people's consoles

EDIT: Update: Sony rolled back Firmware 4.45. When you boot up your PS3, you will no longer be prompted to download.

Same, and I'm hoping that my console is going to be fine. I certainly don't want to buy another ps3 with the ps4 right around the corner--I've got a bunch of unopened games I haven't touched yet, in addition to a plethora of psn stuff. EDIT: if anybody had the console brick, do you mind sharing?

My console is bricked :( patiently awaiting for any word from Sony on what to do. I am sick over it, I just want my PS3 working again.

Hmm...  No idea if my girlfriend updated or not.  She used the system yesterday.

I was playing a game a little bit ago and it was fine, anyway.

I have an upgraded hard drive and it didn't affect mine. Got lucky, but I didn't know there was a problem with the update at the time I was downloading it.
