Not bricked since it still boots stuff and can be fixed. Oh well, everyone's taken a liking to say they are bricked - it sounds so much more dramatic.

- TillE 13y agoYeah, I'll allow the usage of "bricked" if recovery requires opening up the device and connecting via JTAG. That's effectively dead and unrecoverable by any normal consumer. But c'mon, a device that you can fix by sticking in a USB drive with a patch is not bricked.
- pandaman 13y agoAlso the number of the affected PS3s is not large both according to Sony and neogaf's lack of a rioting. But, I think such exaggerations in the news are good to catch attention of the people who might be affected by this.
- tomc1985 13y agoRight now a botched PS3 is about as functional as a brick, or maybe a glorified (and boring) screensaver. Why not call it one?
