Bricking isnt the right word. It did cause problems to the consoles, but they could be fixed by a simple reformat of the hd.

There is a link on the ps3 forum if you still want the update though. Just download it to a flash drive and install it on your ps3 that way.

I got the download the day it came out, and have had no problems.

That actually does make sense. All the hype about how this update would make it better than XBL (even though lots of the stuff in the update, 360 users have been able to do from day one) and then it causes problems for lots of people. More waiting for the cows.

My problem isn't only with the HDD, it starts freezing on me when I load it up and it sits on the wavy screen. This is before it even recognizes there is a HDD. Pretty weird if you ask me.

Simple? You had to take out the HDD, then reformat, which can take forever, and put it back in. You lose all your saves, etc. Come on, talk about making light of a situation. This post is worse than Lemming's damage control over RROD. (IT ONLY HAPPENS TO 16% OF CONSOLES!!!)

The good news is Sony is fixing 2.40 bricking for free, if you lack the expertise. 8)

Back up your HDD first, it's not hard you just go to system settings and from there you can backup the most important files on your HDD, also copy the save files onto the USB then you can reformat if it fails and keep the information.

Just wait for the official update to be posted. It isn't worth the trouble anyway.
