It actually scared me a bit. Right after it finished downloading, before installing it, the screen went black and the controllers turned off. I couldn't shut down the system by touching the power "button". Fortunately I flipped the power cut-off switch off and on in back and that worked. Then it booted up and installed the firmware. Played around with it a bit and saw no problems though.

I wonder if that's all that happened with these reports? Some users are pretty stupid when it comes to technology and may not even know there's a power switch in back.]]>Jul 2nd 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 4th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 3rd 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 3rd 2008 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/

Let me just watch the rest of the second season, and make my own mind up. I kind of like it!
And that Katie Holmes... MAN! She's hot!

Another thing about me. I went to the movies on monday, and watched Sex and the City. And; I'm NOT gay.

Believe me?

Probably not.

I'm from Norway, you know!]]>Jul 2nd 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/

This is why I turned off my automatic network login and only manually install updates when I actually need to. I'd advise everyone else to do the same. The way firmware on game consoles is updated once every few weeks these days as soon as you connect to the network is pretty obviously stupid.
