PS3 firmware 4.46 update released to fix 4.45 malfunction

4.7
The PS3 firmware fix for update 4.45 is available now. The 4.45 update released last week left some systems unusable, but Sony today outlined how users can restore functionality.

The three-step process involves downloading the newly released 4.46 update to storage media or a USB device, activating safe mode, then installing the 4.46 update from there.

4.46 will not brick your console. Do not download 4.45 though as there is a chance that it will


You can update to 4.45 anymore, good thing :) What changed though, I didn't see anything different.


There really wasn't anything different i dont think.


Why was the update for then? :D


Peoples consoles were getting bricked.
