Last week, we had reported that Sony had pulled the PlayStation 3 firmware 2.40 update due to the problems being reported by PS3 gamers. Now Sony has released an updated PS3 firmware. The version 2.41 will fix the problems that occurred in the earlier PS3 firmware update.
This was posted on the official PlayStation website:
- This update corrects a problem that prevented a limited number of PS3 systems from starting properly after updating to version 2.40. For those users who have updated to version 2.40 and have experienced the problem where the XMB (XrossMediaBar) screen does not appear, or no images are displayed on the screen, please contact Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669.
Sony has also stated that they have made sure that those gamers who successfully updated to the version 2.40 and were able to start their PlayStation 3 consoles, will not be affected by the problem. Also, Sony has apologized on the official website as well as on the PlayStation blog.
