Earlier, we reported on the removal of PS3 firmare 2.40 update in light of reports of it crashing systems and forcing users to reformat their hard drives. While many were able to get their updates up and running without incident, those same people are now worried that their PS3 may brick at any time, leaving them to suffer the same fate as the unfortunate few.
