PlayStation update freezing consoles

Sony has pulled an upgrade to its PlayStation 3 after it caused some users' machines to stop working. The 4.45 system software, released on Tuesday, causes the console's on-screen navigation to disappear. Sony told BBC News it was investigating cause of the issue, which had affected a "small number" of machines globally. Users should await further instructions and a downloadable system update rather than try to fix the issue, it added. "We apologise for the inconveniencequot; Disgruntled users have taken to message boards to discuss the problem. "You'd think they test these things out, right?" wrote one. The issue presents something of a public-relations blip in the week following a strong showing at games industry event E3. Sony was widely regarded as having "won" the show - its presentation showed a PlayStation 4 console that will be $100 or £100 cheaper than its rival, Microsoft's Xbox One. Both consoles are due on sale before Christmas.
