Sony explains what happened with 2.40
Quote:
Those of you who've been able to pick up PS3 firmware 2.41 or may have been the recipient of the nasty problem in PS3 FW 2.40 may want to read this next bit of news we have for you. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe recently sent out an announcement for the release of PS3 FW 2.41, and with it came a little revelation behind what caused the problems in 2.40.
SCEE writes,
With this update, we have fixed the problem that prevented a limited number of PS3s from activating properly after updating to version 2.40, when certain system administrative data were contained on the HDD.
Apparently, if you have that specific data on your hard drive, installing 2.40 would cause your PS3 to freeze or your XMB to not show.
If you happen to be one of those unlucky folks who picked up 2.40 and were greeted by a bricked PS3, you'll have to call customer service to get the PS3 fixed or possibly receive a replacement. Of course, if your XMB disappeared after FW 2.4, updating to 2.41 may prove an impossible task; Sony likewise suggests to go through customer service as well.
For those folks who were able to update to 2.40 without a hitch, Sony assures that you won't pick up the problem anymore.

When i updated to 2.36 i was stuck in a loop as some have. What i then did was shut power by powering it off on the back and then turned it back on and then it successfully updated without going through that loop and error msg. Good thing since i didnt want to go through CS.

So they should. Although i know sony were very good with customer support (unlike M$) when the PS2's broke down. And there was a lot of them.

You know, I hear on here a lot about broken PS2s, but I've had 2 and they both worked for YEARS... not a few month's like a lot of Xbox's.
Anyone know what the actual failure rate of the two consoles is (PS2 vs. 360)?

The PS2 failure rate was the DVD drive. The first batch of consoles would stop reading DVD based games if you watched DVD movies on the console. The failure rate was nothing compared to the 360
