Aw thats why I don't remember it was in 08 before I brought mine.

I updated. I was thinking to myself then, "there's probably going to be an issue with the updates, since people are always complaining after updating, that their console has been bricked."

But, there was me thinking... I've had this thing since 2007, and hasn't happened yet, I should be fine. Downloaded the update. Played Tekken Revolution for a while after the update, and went to sleep. I've just now discovered this bad news.

I have a 300GB HDD. It's not the original hard drive. I'm safe, you guys! No need to worry 'bout me!

No problem but look at my post again :) There were several issues with ps3-updates.

Oh yeh, the John Kennedy one sounds very minor and was probably only heard about because he was sueing Sony (most likely isolated case)

The other one is quite interesting, only targeting fat ps3's. I think I actually remember hearly about that one now that you mention it. But so is the way with most these issues you usually here about them but never know a single person who is affected, thats how small they usually are.

We were in the middle of downloading it on our PS3s at my house when we read a tweet from PS3T last night that claimed a bricking issue. We cancelled it immediately!

Yeah, that's what we here on forums... "Don't know anybody". I don't know one person with RROD but this doesn't change facts :)

And I am happy for you didn't!

Who says I am not cool and nice?!

Updated mine and worked fine. For those that got bricked, does it brick right away?

Like, since I've already updated and worked, can mine still brick?

no, post-update bricks weren't reported. if it happens it's not necessarily because of the update.
