Sony Recall Firmware ... Next Generation Buggered

It seems that not everything is rosy for the next generation consoles (which are now current generation and will one day be past). It seems that if Microsoft hasn't made your ring red and Sony's BluRay drive isn't playing up then updating your system online could be the next on a long list of problems with the consoles.

Sony have pulled the 2.4 firmware update (which implements their trophy/achievement system ... lol) after it has created issues with users. The question that should be asked is "How much testing goes on prior to release?" There is definitely a growing trend in technology where products don't appear to fully tested prior to release.

For the PS3 users who have been affected by being early adopters of the firmware update then it appears that reformatting their hard drive does the trick. Shame about all of the savegames and other useful data that they will lose in the process.

Nice one Sony. You da man.
