Sony has taken PS3's 4.45 firmware update offline while it investigates the reasons why it's causing some users' consoles to brick.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I still haven't done the last 5 updates on my ps3 will need to have a day where I update it all when this is back online.
My friends phat bricked install it but my other mates slim is fine.
my ps3 works fine.
@the_bebop >>>So you get a disagree for having a working PS3?? ...Lol Idiots!!
**Back on Topic**
So does 'bricked' means your console is bin fodder outside of warranty?
Can a 'bricked' PS3 be fixed, can another update fix it, or are users completely screwed??
I have PS3/500GB HDD and have never suffered with this, nobody I know has either...except on forums, so excuse my ignorance on the matter.
**EDIT**
I have PS+ and set to auto between 8-10am BST/GMT/UK, yet my Firmware still reads 4.41, so I'm lucky it didn't hit me prior to removal.
what size HDD do you have?
Hope mine works still. I have auto update set up :S
