This incident will cost them a lot of money in support and they won't get away with charging to fix the consoles.I understand that Sony needed to pull the update but it has left those of us with the botched update in a quandary. We could fix this by installing a new drive and updating the firmware via USB stick. However the firmware can not be downgraded. You can only install the same version or higher. 4.45 is not available so we are stuck. Not so bad for me as I have multiple consoles so I just switched consoles. But people with a single console could get back up and running with their OEM drive IF they could update the firmware. Some of the ps3 firmware is on the hardware and some on the HDD. They put in their old drive with firmware version that doesn't match and the ps3 will insist that the firmware be updated with 4.45 or higher. They really need to put out a 4.46 version available for pc download only that is the same as 4.41 so that people could at least use their ps3.</blockquote>
