Fix coming to PS3 4.45 firmware June 27

4.5
Earlier this week, PlayStation 3 users began reporting that the most recent firmware update, 4.45, was rendering consoles unusable. Sony has now announced that a fix for the malfunctioning firmware will be released on Thursday, June 27. A post on the US PlayStation 3 support forum reads:

We have identified the issue related to the PlayStation 3 software update (version 4.45) that impacted a small number of PS3 systems earlier this week. A new PS3 system software update is planned to be released on June 27 that resolves the issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Any further updates to the issue will be made on the same forum thread, so affected users may want to add it to their bookmarks.

iiPEACEKEEPERii So if it makes the console 'unusable' then how will they be able to access the console to download a fix update


Good question haha! I will have to ask one of my friends whose console got bricked!


I think they have to download it on their computer and put it on like a USB or CD.

wok Good they are still regularly updating the firmware still with ps4 on the way.


Both consoles will be supported for a long time.


True, I think they will continue to get supported for 1-3 years ;)


That's quite a broad estimate! But it will simply depend upon how popular the PS3 will be after a given period of time

I'm glad they did this, I could imagine Sony just forgetting about the PS3 while everything is going on with the PS4!
