It seems let again, Sony is getting a backlash of users upset with the latest forced update v3.42 that didn't add a single new feature, but stopped the PSJailbreak / PSGroove / PSFreedom devices from working.

Majority of PS3 owners truely don't even care about those "homebrew" devices, but Sony does and it seems that the rush of blocking the update may have caused legit PS3 owners alot of headaches instead.

There is numerous reports of "Sound Problems", they seem to be the biggest problem, with sound cutting in and out. -- Also reports of games like COD:MW2, Battlefield 2: Bad Company, Madden 2011 in crashing or not even loading at times. -- Of course with ever new firmware update, there is the series of reports of "Brick's", the PS3 just looping, or frozen forever after the update.

Time well tell soon if this might be the SECOND buggy firmware that Sony has released, like the last one v3.41 they ended up "putting their foot in their mouth" and finally releasing a silent new repack of the v3.41 firmware.

Same here, I don't care about jail breaking my PS3 so I went ahead and upgraded. Everytime they release an update that people seem to be affected by never seems to bother my PS3.

You ever noticed how more people complain about serious problems after Sony releases a FW that upsets people? A lot of these people are just pissed with Sony so start looking very hard for problems and just attribute every little problem to the FW update.
