PS3 users reporting 'bricked' systems after 4.45 firmware update
According to the PlayStation Twitter account, the 4.45 update includes trophy notification options and improves system stability - hmm.
We've reached out to Sony to clarify the situation. While the issues don't seem to be affecting all users, it might be wise to stay clear of the update for the time being.
Update: Sony Computer Entertainment sent out the following statement this morning:
"We are aware of reports that the recent PlayStation 3 system software update (version 4.45) has caused the XMB to not display on a small number of PS3 systems. We have temporarily taken 4.45 offline and are investigating the cause of the problem. We will announce when the system update is available for download as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience."

OneThousandADaaaMxxx Sony are good at doing this, but they do take time so they keep people happy.
good at what? Fuc8king things up? You even know what bricked means?
Sounds like he's hoping bricked means stable as a 'brick' house.
When in fact, we all know, Sony done fcked it up again.

Sony have obviously realised that people appeal to the ps4 more so they are having to increase security to make a good impression for users concerned about terms of security when it comes to ps4.
