According to recent entries on the playstation blog, many users are experiencing issues with the latest PS3 update v.3.01. These issues range from freezing up when playing a BR disk to issues with the navigation.
There are over 600+ replies now involving this update. I am glad that I have been lazy about updating my own. Hopefully $ony will post a new update soon.

I use my PS3 99% as a media player and 1% for gaming, but when prompted to updated, i foolishly did.
Now, i can still play games, but the interface for media listings is screwed.
What is with the entire listing disappearing except the highlighted item after about 2 seconds?? If i am trying to decide what to watch, i have to be constantly scrolling the list or it disappears. Where is the functionality in that?
Lucky my upstairs PS3 (which is what my kids use for media) hasn’t been updated, as they are 4 and 6, and can only recognize their shows by making out some of the letters in the title. If their lists disappeared… sigh..
So I’ve just updated to 3.01 and now I have absolutely no sound.
So thanks Sony, you’ve just rendered my PS3 completely useless.
Cheers.
Add me to the growing list of 80GB B/C owners whose BluRay drive ever so coincidentally bricked with the 3.01 update.
