Sony PS3 2.43 update needed to fix 2.42 firmware
Filed under: Gaming, Sony Playstation 3
It looks like we will need the Sony PS3 2.43 update much sooner than later as it’s needed to fix the 2.42 firmware. We are getting numerous reports that the latest Playstation 2.42 firmware is causing problems for users.
Personally our PS3 is just fine but then we have not had much time with it since the latest firmware. This is what some gamers have reported to PR:
Well this is totally Effed Up!!! My son decided that it would be a good idea to update the PS3 and he did 2 nights ago without me knowing it. Well now ANYTHING BLURAY does NOT play. NOTHING!!! Doesn’t even recognize the DAMN Disk!!! Is there anything I can do???
Installed this newest update and now nothing works, can not read disks at all. We have done the system restore, etc. now have to wait while it gets shipped to Sony to fix it. Very upsetting, fairly new PS3 (5 months) in excellent condition and was working perfectly prior to update. Extremely frustrating.
Yeah, downloaded it earlier and now I can’t stay connected to a single online game.
Downloaded the update and all my saves on cod 4 single player have gone and when I name my perks online as soon as I switch my PS3 off they disappear and have to name them again.
Have you been having problems with the latest PS3 firmware?

this is BS i got like 200 friends who owns a ps3 and have this update , everything works fine!
None of those problems seem related to the firmware update. I’m guessing its more of a coincidence. Discs not working is usually a problem with the blu-ray diode, this has been the main cause of Ps3’s breaking. Don’t blame the firmware. The COD4 class not keeping its name is a server problem, again has nothing to do with the PS3. This article sounds a little biased.
This happened to me after the firmware 2.40 update. I was playing Battlefield Bad Company and the screen went blank and then my PS3 wouldn’t read disks. This is a joke if they have mandatory updates and then they break your system, complete BS. My PS3 was only five months old and I just sent it in for repair. I bought a 80gb so I can sell the repaired 40gb when it returns. If I have to do another update and it breaks my console, I will personally find SONY representatives and slit their throats, I’m tired of spending money and having things break.
WTF this is complete bs 4 people out of millions LOL check the official forums budd
I got the same problem. I was playing NBA 2k8 and the ps3 froze. I just sent my into Sony.
Oh, I forgot what happened. lol My ps3 wouldn’t read any discs.
Four unknown people…
I really doubt that these problems are FW related. I literally know more than 100 people owning a PS3 and none of those had any problems with 2.42, none.
Especially the BD reading can’t be related, since the BD ROM isn’t updated with those FW updates…
The hell, all the named stuff happened to MY 5 months old PS3 – that’s months ago
. Didn’t even notice anything from the update.
-> Damn, DICE, EA, fix the squad system. Nobody can join eachother.
yea. must be making it up right?
