Latest PS3 Update Causes Random Crashes

Most users are growing accustomed to manufacturer’s way of getting out of tight spots. Is your console having problems? Well, a firmware update will normally fix it. Unfortunately, this clearly isn’t the case with Sony’s latest 2.40 firmware upgrade for the Playstation 3. Problems range from microphone issues to frozen consoles, and this has prompted Sony to pull the upgrade for the moment. Unfortunately for most users, sites are stating that the only known fix at the moment is a hard drive reformat, which will effectively wipe all the current saved game data.
