"After many complaints surfaced that the latest PlayStation 3 firmware update, version 2.40, was bricking user's consoles, Sony has confirmed that it is looking into the matter.

The latest update, which will bring gamers a few of their most requested features, in-game XMB (XrossMediaBar) and "trophies" for online gaming, was officially released this morning but many users have claimed that the update is freezing or even bricking their consoles, making reformatting the hard drive the only solution.

i've had no problems, i played gta 4, burnout paradise and some ps 2 games...and so far no freezing, plus i've had home running when i'm not playing video games and so far no freezing.....i bet it's the people that are whining and complaining that it freezes up on...and those who are happy we finally got the stuff we been asking for, the systems are fine (lol)
