Thread: Latest PS3 Firmware Update Freezing PS3's

PlayStation 3 firmware 4.0 update is causing PS3's to freeze. Reports are still coming in but those who are reporting this issue are playing Modern Warfare 3 or Skyrim. Seems the freeze happens during game play as well as normal PS3 usage.

PS3 freezing constantly after 4.0 update.
I updated to 4.0 tonight, and my machine is freezing A LOT! I am playing MW3. Just sitting in my party working on classes, and bang, total freeze. So I have to hold the power button and go through the whole checking/restoring file system process everytime. This never happened before tonight.

Re: PS3 freezing constantly after 4.0 update.
So i am having similar issues. My ps3 now freezes on everything. It won't lock up but it will freeze for seconds at a time on almost everything. And i had just restored it to stock the same day and it was working excellently. Almost everything takes a long time to open. Netflix about 45 seconds used to be about 10. Psn store is up to 30 from 2. I want to downgrade.

Updated on my OFW Ps3 yesterday morning, had numerous hard freezes with Arkham City, Skyrim, and AC: Revelations... none of this was happening before the update.

WHAT ????
u have updated to ofw !
i didn't knew that

Maybe SLiM's PS3 don't have this Bug but FAT Does.

Let's see broken firmware updates for the PS3. 2.40=Brick, 3.00=Uncharted 1 freeze, 3.21=Removing Linex, 3.41=HDD upgrade problems before it became a jailbreak firmware, 3.50=Exploding controllers, 3.56=Return of $ony Rootkits, 4.00=PS3 freezing to the extreme.

Lol'd... I wont update from 3.72. Unless kaka fails, this 4.0 seems scary to me.
