New PlayStation 3 update available — this one shouldn’t brick systems

Last week, Sony caused itself and gamers a bit of a headache when it released PlayStation system update 4.45. That patch ended up causing a malfunction in a small number of consoles (Sony won’t say how many exactly) that rendered the console unusable.

The company released a new update this morning that fixes the issue and should help affected users get their PlayStation 3s back in working order.
