14 DAY TRIAL // Sony Japan has confirmed that an official solution to the PlayStation 3 bricking issues caused by the faulty firmware 4.45 will be rolled out on June 27. Until then, however, owners of the console will have to make do without access to it.
PS3 owners from around the world received a prompt to update their console’s software at the beginning of the week, as Sony launched firmware 4.45 that brought new options, like the ability to turn off the trophy notifications.
Sadly, for quite a lot of PS3 users, the update bricked their consoles, and they will no longer boot up into the regular mode.
While workarounds have been found by some users, Sony hasn't been that eager to communicate with fans, limiting itself to taking down update 4.45 in order to avoid the bricking of other consoles.
Now, thanks to a Sony Japan blog post, it seems that an official solution for firmware 4.45 issues will be revealed on June 27.
No other details were mentioned, so fans will have to look forward to next week to fix their PS3s.
