I have confirmed the issue that is borking some peoples PS3s, despite them not 'hacking' or otherwise doing things to their PS3 that is against the 'rules'. 3.56 is rejecting upgraded hard drives. I don't think all of them as some people say they upgraded to 3.56 and were still able to swap another hard drive in.

However, many people who previously were using an upgraded drive or are trying to upgrade their drive while using 3.56 are finding no success.

All said and done my PS3 works again, sans most of my save data as I had to revert to the stock 80GB hard drive that came with my phat PS3. My 640GB drive is now useless.


Dont believe everything you read.  I have a 250 GB disk in my original 40GB Fat, I upgraded 3.56 no problem.  Played some Black Ops and a number of hrs of Demon's Souls.

Heh. How do you explain my issue then? I know the 640GB drive works. It was working before 3.56, I update to 3.56 (which fails) and the PS3 fails, am unable to do anything with my ps3 other than attempt to update to 3.56. I put the stock 80GB drive in and suddenly im able to update properly. PS3 is fully back up and working with 80GB. I tested the 640GB drive elsewhere, it checks out as working fine with no failures. Put 640GB drive in PS3, PS3 will not install 3.56 on the drive.
