Sony addresses the issues surrounding its Firmware 3.00 update following numerous complaints from users...
At the end of last week we ran a story about a possible glitch in Sony's Firmware 3.00 update for PS3 that left some gamers complaining about unresponsive DualShock 3 controllers after downloading the update.
Despite the lack of an official comment from Sony at the time and assertions from the company's customer care hotline that this was all news to them, Sony has now come out and stated that it is "looking into the matter".
"SCEA is aware of reports that PS3 owners are experiencing isolated issues with their PS3 system since installing the most recent system software update (v3.00)," said Patrick Seybold, SCEA's Senior Director of Corporate Communications and Social Media. "Rest assured that we are looking into the matter and will provide an update here as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience, as it's our mission to deliver the best consumer experience on all PlayStation platforms."
Given Seybold's response, this certainly indicates that there's a lot more to these problems than a few disgruntled forum posters who don't know how to download an update properly. Nonetheless, discussion on the official PS3 boards has suggested that a possible reason for the malfunctioning DualShock 3 controllers is that they are counterfeited goods.

but people have come to accept the rrod its been happening for years now unlike the yellow light of death thats not because of unreliable parts but due to a firmware update, is this an indication that sony had tried to overclock the ps3 and may have had a stable overclock but releasing a firmware update with the overclock included may have caused the trapped gas in the circuit boards.

Actually we can still complain about the RROD because the xbox has a 54 percent failure rate compared to the PS3's 14.7
OFF Topic: MAG will be pwnage

good point, but who's to say the complaints wont keep coming in? could easily be a majour fault in the system.
but i aint gettin called a fanboy again so ill stick with ur comment =) lets just hope sony can address the problem like microsoft did with the enw motherboards they were using

It's really a low failure rate when compared to Xbox's 45% failure rate in the earlier generations of systems.
A .5% deficiant rate is quite low and seems an acceptable rate for any product. It seems that if Sony can compensate these very few failures with replacement systems ect. then this would be a very small problem.
