After updating my firmware from 360 to 441 on fat PS3 60gb my blu-ray player stopped working at first i thought it was coincidence then i took my other PS3 running 3.60 removed blu-ray from 441 and placed it in the 360 and it worked perfectly.
Contacted Sony support they outright denied that a firmware update could do this, then i checked the Sony forums and found dozens of people with same model having same problem.
I have been repairing pcs for 30 years and also have a background as an electronics tech and know for a fact that a firmware update can cause these types of problems due to different models of PS3.
Also in slim models it is causing stability problems games are locking up in some instances even games bought at store played off hard drive lock up with black screens.
Also with 441 update there is an annoying buzzing on the audio just after the update on my PS3 fat 60gb the hum was so bad same thing looked at forums dozens of people with same problem again.
Checked NA forums people with 3 month old ps3 are having same problems and now on EU forums there are reports of the same thing happening.
Some people are effected different ways some after rebuilding indexes can getting it working for short periods but games still crash.
