The PlayStation 3 is the most popular device for Netflix streaming, so it makes sense that the company is launching its new feature exclusively on the console for now. It’s called Max, and it’s pretty much a personal assistant of sorts that recommends new movies and TV shows that you might be interested in watching.

News spread quickly, and Sony acknowledged the problem, quickly pulling the update before too many users were affected. Now it is rolling out

Sony posts PS3 4.46 firmware update, instructions to fix consoles busted by 4.45
Posted in: Today's Chili
After the 4.45 firmware update knocked some PlayStation 3s out of commission last week, Sony has fulfilled its promise of a fixed version. 4.46 is now available to download, while a series of steps has been posted to the support site to walk users through updating any consoles that installed 4.45 and then failed to reboot. Additionally, for users that successfully installed 4.45 and later complained of NAT and “IP fragment issues,” a post on the support forum confirms that has been fixed as well. Owners of frozen consoles will need a USB memory stick with at least 168MB of space, although certain older models can also use SD, Memory Stick or Compact Flash cards. There’s still no word on exactly what went wrong, but for instructions on how to configure the flash storage and reboot into safe mode so you can start gaming again, just hit the source link below.

PlayStation 3 firmware update fix coming June 27th, promises to fix bricked systems
Posted in: Today's Chili
Are you one of the “small number” of folks with a PlayStation 3 that was bricked in this week’s 4.45 firmware update? Though Sony’s been aware of the issue since the update launched, apparently a fix isn’t coming until June 27th — that’s nine days after 4.45 launched to an unsuspecting populace. The PlayStation Europe Twitter account announced as much this morning in a tweet. “We have identified the issue related to PS3 software update (4.45) that impacted a small number of PS3 systems earlier this week,” the feed reads.
“A new system software update is planned to be released on June 27 that resolves that issue,” it adds. There’s also a bit of an apology, but that won’t do much for the folks who are without their PlayStation 3 for the next six days. PlayStation’s US arm also confirmed that the update will arrive in North America on the same date.
