SCEE has just said that it can’t firm up reports that a PS3 Firmware 2.41 release is to be made this week, but fell short of issuing a denial.
“I saw them,” said a rep when asked if Sony was aware of the rumours. “I can’t confirm anything at the moment, though.”
We were also told that it’s unknown as yet when an official statement will be made on the status of Firmware 2.40/1, but PR is waiting to hear back on the matter.
CVG reported this morning that Sony customer service is telling callers that a Firmware 2.41 update if to be issued to PS3 users this week.
The news comes in the wake of the pulling of Firmware 2.40 last week, after numerous users complained of system lock-ups.

This is all very embarassing for them, I’m sure - especially given how long it’s been going on. I wonder how many heads have rolled?

I bet it was something completely minor, you know. Unless you have one of the machines that got bricked, obviously.

I expected them to release a fixed firmware like the day after. It can’t be something too difficult to fix now can it? Unless they’re testing on lots of ps3’s or something. Hmm..

*conspiracy theory* Do you not think Sony might have done this on purpose, the amount of PR about the update and what it does has now been huge.
All publicity is good publicity and all that…

Even if it was something minor, you still need to find the error, fix it and then after a lot of testing need to aprove it for official release.
So, if Sony releases the 4.0.1 update this week, they really acted fast.
What I don’t like is the absence of communication.
