Sony has released firmware 4.45 for the PS3 just a few minutes ago. However, there have been numerous reports that it bricks your console.

There have been numerous people on twitter that say their console is frozen after they’ve downloaded the firmware. It’s not just one person, but several people are stuck when they reboot the system. All they see is wavy lines and the console never starts up again. There’s even more evidence of people experiencing problems on the official PlayStation forums.

We will warn users not to update your PS3 until a fix is made. Hopefully Sony resolves the issue soon before even more people experience bricked PS3 consoles…

A photo of the glitch can be seen below as taken from a user on twitter:

It's an elaborate trick to get Ps3 users to get a Ps4

Some people are saying it's false. If I was at home I would check on mine.

not really a credible source... what models were the ps3's in question? Slim? Fat? Super slim? :/ Thanks for the info but I'll need a more credible source to 100% believe in these accusations. My ps3 slim of 2 years recently had an issue like that and apparently it was because of overheating.

DAMN thank you for the alert. I would've updated and been crying by now.

Edit: Never mind, my bro updated like an hour ago and my ps3 is working so it's all good. Sucks for the people that had their ps3 bricked though :/
