DrunknMunky Veteran Posted November 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 14, 2007 Wednesday 14-Nov-2007 12:02 PM Forums erupt with complaintsIt's being reported that the latest major PS3 firmware update, version 2.0, could be at the heart of a problem that's causing a number of PS3s to cease working. A notably large number of PS3 owners have hit the official site to voice concerns of their PS3 functioning incorrectly since installing the update. Complains range from a small as slowed menu navigation and slow PS Store download speeds to more critical errors such as games consistently crashing or even the PS3 completely losing the ability to read discs. Others have also complained on the official forum that their PS3 keeps turning itself on due to the new Remote Start feature in FW 2.0 (which allows you to turn on your PS3 wirelessly via the internet for Remote Play via a PSP). It's worth noting that the timing of the errors could be completely coincidental. It's not uncommon for users who experience errors soon after an update to point the finger of blame at the new firmware. We've checked our updated PS3s - everything's working just fine (phew). Voice any issues you may have experienced in the comments below. Sony was not available for comment at the time of writing but we'll keep trying.

Coldgunner Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I've had a few more crashes than usual, no doubt there'll be some hotfixes (2.01 or something) these things tend to iron themselves out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red. Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Havent had any problems here . . . yet :p Same here. Although i haven't downloaded anything from the store to see if i get slow download speeds. I know that Warhawk has stopped working for some people but it seem to work for me, however, it did crash once on Sunday but i don't think it has to do with the firmware...

Warhawk no longer works for me and the PS3 web browser is broke too. :( the web browser stopped working for me after the upgrade. i tinkered around with the network settings a bit (like disconnect, reconnect) and it fixed the problem :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xploit1030 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I have had no problems but a coworker is having the remote play issue (he had to disable remote play to stop the PS3 from randomly powering on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that issue too, seems to be similar to the wake-on-lan stuff we have on pc's pain in the derrier, as I'd love to enable remote start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had that happen a number of times while playing single player games, since (I think) the 1.9 update. *shrug* I couldn't even find the Trend Micro thing to even install it, tho I'm not that worried.

SonComet Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 No problems at all. I never got into warhawk and don't use the web browser unless I open it by accident so I don't know if those are working, but everything else is same as always.

sn00pie Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 starting to get problems now, NHL 08 frequently locks up on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red. Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 i'm not sure if this is because of the firmware or not but even since the update whenever i watched streamed movies or shows on my PS3 using TVersity it seems to pause halfway through and i won't continue. And when i try to watch it again, it stops in the exact same place. Is this happening to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
