Auto-update? more like auto-brick.

You're love for the PS3 and everything Sony must be so enormous, as it's preventing you from saying anything positive in the Microsoft's section of the threads!

OT: This is standard procedure, always a couple of people screaming murder after a system update, nothing unusual this time.

When this happens, does Sony replace the console?

This seems to be only happening to people who have upgraded their stock HDDs with a bigger one. Those who are using the HDD the PS3 came with are having no problems.

Yes lawd!

Sh!t is serious over there at the PlayStation forums

This comment by Knackered at the PS forums has to be the greatest bit of information anybody could take from these situations

"I also have PS3 Slim (the first slim anyway) and updated to 4.45. Same problem as everyone else, stuck on the wavey screen. Luckily you can still boot into 'safe mode' by holding it down until it beeps once, twice, then two more times quickly which will allow you to update to whatever firmware they'll release after this to fix this problem. "
