I find it strange that firmware updates cause these issues, I think people enjoy using FW upgrades as an excuse, probably their ps3 broke so they waited for a FW upgrade to blame it on. I find it strange that it would cause a few random consoles to fail when everyone else's is still working perfectly remember that corrupt downloads are all rubbish, the new FW can't be installed unless fully downloaded and if the download fails, you keep your existing FW, but if you download via pc, and you download from the wrong place which might cause it, then that's your own stupidity... I guess mine should be breaking any second now
