Sensational, maybe, but it's not good for PS3 owners, whether bricked is the right word or not.

- InternalRun 13y agoI agree, but I doubt they will have to wait weeks for a fix. Sony will have a patch within a day or two.
- lobo_tuerto 13y agoYeah, neither is good for PS3 owners, that's not in question here, but there is a big difference between being bricked and not. From wikipedia: "In one common sense of the term, "bricking" suggests that the damage, often a misconfiguration of essential on-board software, is so serious as to have rendered the device _permanently_ unusable." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics)
- gonvaled 13y agoBy that definition, and you being picky, we can safely assume than nothing can brick any device. What? Your CPU burnt during the last upgrade? Not bricked! You just need to go through the simple procedure of soldering a new CPU!
- temac 13y agoThere is, usually, no such thing as _permanently_ unusable. 99% of the time a bricked device can be recovered by reflashing a working FW through JTAG or equivalent. This needs a piece of equipment to do so, but so does online or USB flashing...
