Don't Update Your PS3 Today!

As of, oh, right now, there should be a prompt on your PS3 asking you to upgrade to 4.45. Whatever you do, don't accept it. Not yet, anyway.

We've started getting reports from some readers that the update is bricking their system, locking their consoles on the boot-up "ribbon" screen, and a thread on Sony's official forums shows the issue is far from isolated.

It's obviously not locking up everyone's console, far from it, but there are enough already affected that you won't want to roll the dice.

Problem after update to 4.45 [Sony, thanks everyone who sent this in. Sorry about your PS3s :( ]

But don't they care about the gamer?

I updated mine eariler.. as soon as update finished i went straight back to Last of US.. found no problems at all :?

maybe it's intentional, to make you buy another ps3. knowing sony, they'd do anything for a couple more units of sales. :(

sadly it was to late for me. All my data is freaking gone. WTF man.

Mine is fine.
