This is worrying. I haven't had any problems. *touch wood*

my ps3 can't be killed by a firmware update. i've put it through hours of play time and left it on for days and nothing. my ps3 is godly.

Last night it happend to me and two other clan mates of mine.  I was hosting a game in Warhawk and then all of a sudden i was kicked off Warhawk and the Playstation Network.  When I tired to get back online it wouldn't let me, but when i switched to another account it was fine.  The only problem was is that it would say my other account was still online and in Warhawk!  I HOPE SONY IS WORKING ON A SOLLUTION SOON!!!!  I was queted on this last night about 3am EST saying "More bad than good has came from this update".

I didnt think much of it till now, but last nite i put in The Show and i got some error message saying the game wasent there or disk error or something. Sht hope they can fix this soon. (all my other games work fine tho?)

PS:   IT SURE WOULD BE NICE OF SONY TO HAND OUT SOME FREE PLAYSTATION STORE POINTS FOR THE TIME AND TROUBLE TO THOSE WHO HAD TO WASTE TIME IN LOOKING FOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT'S # EARLY THIS MORNING!

Can't say i've had any problems...played Smackdown for four or five hours last night and no issues...

have no problems with the update,

no problems thus far !

never had a problem yet but man does this suck for a majority of people

I hate to see this happen. I havent had any problems, making themes and playing games constantly. No probs. At least its not hardware setups, b/c not much you can do to fix that except change it. Im sure sony will have a resolution soon. Sony dont let these people down.

No problems with me. Let's hope it stays that way..

Oh and "sniper" remember that Sony don't use point on the store, they use cold hard digital cash...keep up brother...

No problems so far, but d4mn this IS worrisome.

I've had no problems. I'm thinking that the new firmware just didn't install correctly in those people's cases. Sony should simply release a FW 2.01 that only makes minimal tweaks in the installation process as a bug fix.

Well, my ps3 hasn't made many errors since the update, but the errors that it did bring are pretty annoying. I do hope they fix them.

Ohh SHI.T!

no problems on my end,  but if there is sony will fix.

Mine froze once inthe XMB,and once during COD4.

ps3 froze a couple of times n is generally a bit slower, games run fine tho

I would just like to say that since the new firmware update I have had no problems(so far). However I have had to have my playstation replaced with a new one about a three weeks ago because it suddenly stopped playing discs. and a guy at work had exactly the same problem. Could this be frimware related or just dodgy consoles?

No problems for me, you other losers must have purchased a bootleg PS3

psn id: gingo.. no problems so far but the xmb has been a bit laggy but i tihnk thats more to do with the info bar rather than a corrupted system

i bet Bill Gates is behind this! this reeks of microsoft's money they must have paid someone to do this just like they pay people to delay games and to give crap PS3 games low review scores!!! HA! ya bunch of loons!!!!

My PS3 has experenced some slow down times on the main menu, selecting music and games or wanting to make messages to others, but the game play itself has not been affected.

I`ll believe when it`s confirmed, so until' then I`ll be playing COD 4. XD .

My PS3 has been running fine since FW update 2.0 but if anything comes up I will be sure to blame it on the FW update like some here are doing..........

roy boy, you can't even play games anymore!?  didn't I see you last night on that Motorstorm?  dayum, too bad people are having problems tho, definitely is strange.  fortunately muh box still works, has gotten even quicker since updating with things like loading icons, friends list, web browser....sheeit, people no longer disapear momentarily from my list so that's a good thing.....but still too bad to hear about these things.

no problem here i love my ps3

Ive noticed some things since 2.0 when I load a game it goes directly to game instead of the xmb. Hope this fixes soon not to much problems on my end.

lol ..... i cant stand firmware updates anymore sony ... your games and  upddates are getting  lamer ..... maybe you people at sony need to hire former microsoft   guy or something cuz  you guys suck @ softwares ....

nothin seems to be wrong with mine.

warhawk freezed and i had to turn my ps3 off.I think its cause of the over heating thing so i bought a cooler

warhawk freezed and i had to turn my ps3 off.I think its cause of the over heating thing so i bought a cooler

Yea I have been experinceing some slow down in performance n freezing ever since the update unforunately...

psn id Muzikguy   Nothing is wrong with mine so far. "knocks on wood" I'm pretty sure Sony will fix the problems though

Well, evem mine sometimes it does happens but not all the time, when i want to check my mail box i see the picture is very slow and it goes back to normal after. I never had this porblem before but only i after updated to 2.00

Nope, No problems for me! Must of been some xbox 360 fanyboz saying crap about the ps3!

The only thing I've had is after the update is that demo's now sometimes slow waaaaay down when I play them.

I have experienced a lot of lag when opening applications in th XMB

yup, myn has crashed like 6 times sice the update  in the xmb, i saw on this site restoring the default setting of the ps3 does the trick, it hasnt froze since. but my cod4 still has some isuues, but i think thats an isolated problem within the game

I havent had nay problems.

uhhhh......thank god i haven't had time to play my PS3 in weeks, lol so i haven't updated mine............its not gonna force me to update is it ???

no problem so far!

if its the information bar (which i found usless...like a flap of dead skin) turn it off, like i have done by going network > information bar > triangle > do not display

I have the update and nothing seem's to be happing to me tho the info thing on the top right sometimes makes the ps3 lag but thats cause its connecting to the PSN aswell if that is happing to anyone else just take it off by just go to the menu of it and put do not display and it should be fine again as for the loading games its all been working fine for me as for what many people are saying seem's like its working for some people and for others no.

my ps3 seems to freeze up for no reason.  i have to turn the switch in the back of the unit to turn it off.  wow need an update to fix this one.

My problem is with the remote play, like everyone else, as soon as I enable Remote Play and turn the PS3 off, it will turn on and off all by itslef over and over and over. So I have to diable Remote Play, which defeats the whole point of the update for me, as that was what I was looking forward to most. The forums has 25 pages (and counting) of people having the same problem as me. And this is the first problem Sony/Playstation has given me, and I have been with Sony since the tail-end of the PS1 days. Interesting to see how it plays out.

I have had issues with my external harddrive taking a very long time to load them and freezing quite offten

Everything is fine here. I think it's people jumping to conclusions.

@ sniperwithacause...... the PSn was down at that time!!.... some profiles glitched and showed they were on, but they really weren't.. nothings wrong with your console :)..

@mlgacc... the problem is one of 2 things.... 1 your PS3 is spuing photons(too close to your tv) and is effecting the screen, 2 you have a cable thats NOT capable of noise reduction, isn't gold plated, or simply cracked, or  possibly getting interference  from a power  source, or another device ... 

@Mrace, quit using old dvd's, cds.... stick with new, clean, Blu-rays and dvds.... the blue lazer lense is very sesitive to dust, water, debre, ect. without the BRD, the PS3 is useless(No more sketchy, strachy, questionable rented disks)... it is possible the drive was faulty, but in mass production, flaws are duplicated, and your the only person i have heard this from.....

@ACHILL6969.... nothings wrong!....turn off autoload disk feature bro!!!!

@soul_reaper25, i'd love to help, but i seriously can't understand your hip-gangster-wannabe grammer.... learn english, get a GED...then we'll talk....just joking, seriously though.... i really can't understand your style... re-post(i won't add people from here)

@the rest of you, its simple logic.... you hear about problems, now you'll be looking for them... Sony almost always releases another patch FW .01 .1... .4 lol...ect... it'll get fixed..... issues with COD4, are server issues guys.....

Freezes won't break a PS3.... does crashes ever breal a good PC?.... rarely.... sony products don't die, without a fight... unless you neglect it...

blazing angels looks terrible after the update, and the ps3 isnt acting right

Minbe is fine, its always fine.

Hmm.. thats a bit of a worry. But i gotta say ive been doing nothing but stuffing around with mine over the past week or so and nothing out of the ordinary has happened yet. Oh well, we'll know in time i suppose.

I had a problem after I installed the update. When I would try to boot up MLB the Show Just before it was suppose to go to the start screen it would go back to the playstation media bar it did this over and over. I thought I had a scratch on the disc but all was clear. I finally put in Resistance to see if it would do it with that and it booted up fine. I put MLB back in and it worked fine. No problems since. Kind of strange

Mine has only had [rpb;ems when i am connected to the network it freezez for a couple seconds onece in a whyle but nothing major i hope they fix that with the next firmware, oh and add in game music yeah that is all

iv only had one problem but its really nothing much, when there is more than one account on my ps3 that has a different theme they are reset once the ps3 is turned on again.. its a bit annoying but thats all... :S **** one for the really bad ones :(

As with ANY downloadable patch if it's corrupted in transmission it's going to cause problems. I havent yet seen a single issue to worry about with my 2.0 and one a hand full of others in the forums are noticing anything too horribly out of the ordinary so it's clearly not something everyone will deal with.

They must have hired some former M$ programmer for this update.........

Well, my PS3 just got sent back today to be replaced. The video output crapped out after the 2.0 update. It sucks, but at least it happened before the warranty ran out at the end of this week.

I downloaded the update and have had no issues thus far. About the only thing that was went hay wire is when i enabled the remote play turn on. It kept turning its self on which was annoying.

ARATACUS - Read my post, did I say I had played any old dvds/cds in my ps3 - NO. It wouldn't play anything, bluray discs and ps 3 games. Like I said, dude at work had a similar problem. So thats at least 2 you've heard of now.

No problemo's here..

Just created an account here so that I could post my experience with this.

Pre 2.00 firmware everything was perfectly fine, since 2.00 the XMB is a little slower with the information bar loading every time you leave one of the menus.

I hadn't had any crashes until yesterday when I started up Ratchet and Clank demo, froze before it even did the "PLAYSTATION 3" logo thing, it was stuck on the XMB ratchet & clank screen.

Turned off the PS3, turned it back on, turned off the Information Board, started Ratchet & Clank demo again, and it worked like a charm again.

I haven't had any pproblems yet

The only problem I got is that my ps3 cant find my WD 500GB Premium (USB2)HDD any more, but im not worried because I know Sony will solve it :)

I updated to 2.0 which took me nearly al day for it to work. And now it keeps popping up an error message when ever i go to sign up for playstation network. Anyone know what i can do to solve this issue?

i updated to 2.0.1 was fine for about 2 hours, then froze druing a NFS:Pro Street loading scene, waited 10  minuts was forced to quit game via the ps button on the controller, now no mater what game i put in nothing comes up in the game menu, you can imagine this is extremely frustrating, i cant play anything, i thought about restoreing it but i cant back up my data because it requires more than 2 gig and i dont own a flash or thumb drive with that capacity, tried pluging in my ext 500G hdd and it doesnt register at all,  i refuse to loose all my hard worked saved data. sony beter fix this one fast.

One day the whole lot will be Bricked by Bad Programmers, I suggest nobody updates for a month, I follow this rule especially with Micro$haft update$$$$

If there isn't a confirmed source stop speculating and PLEAAAAASEEE stop beiing an AZZHOLE, if anyone really stated that they had those problems confirm the sources, post a link, do some tests to confirm it's true, otherwise stop waisting everyone's time.....
