Those Bastards

the biggest reason they did this was due to black ops problem what do you expect from a fw that was made in possibly a day im sure it wasnt all done before that release as im pretty sure the next fw was spose to be 3.60 but idk so dont flame me and thanks nextgentatics now i know my ps3 cant be upgraded due to this faggots

Thx for the info! :y: I think my ps3 its not affected but who knows... :p

false i think?
i have a cechk04 model and an upgraded 500gb hdd still working

thanks mine isn't with them :bro:

it just shows how well sony "test" their firmware updates, they are a bunch of idiots and noobs, they can't even code the firmware properly! they end up break more stuff than they are trying to fix!

mine 60 gig cechc is fine then COOL
btw love that nuke ps3

You know that the ps3 only can recognize 500 gb of space right?
