PS3 firmware update 2.01 (causes) fixes problems with 2.0


PS3 owners are starting to feel like the proverbial unwanted red-headed stepchild. Last night's new firmware update for the PS3, version 2.01, seems to be the latest slap in the face. If you haven't already downloaded it, don't be in a big hurry. The ".01" just denotes a few bug fixes for those who said they've been experiencing game freezing errors with 2.00. However, it turns out there is a trojan horse in them there updates.

Unfortunately, it appears as if the patch may have created problems for Call of Duty 4 players, who took to the official forums (registration required) in force to complain of critical errors while trying to play the game online following the update. Many also report getting the same error: "DW update file error 102 - 'BD_EXCEPTION_IN_DB' " when trying to start a new character. Neither Sony nor Activision have responded to the issue. We also don't know if this extends to any other games. Are any of you having similar problems with the update?

  3. I too have the 2.01 update and not only can I NOT download wallpaper files to my PS3 HD, but I cannot delete any video trailers. Very wierd. Wallpaper saved as corrupt files on the HD. I cannot delete those either. No error, it just doesn't do anything. I'm very worried!

  5. I am sending my PS3 in to the service center after calling them Saturday night. They tried to charge me 174.00 for service repair. Had no idea the update was a bad one. My PS3 came back on after installing the update and only the background screen was showing. After turning it on and holding my finger over the sensor for the two beeps, the screen went blank and nothing comes on now. Anyone got any advice--i am supposed to send it to them when I receive my UPS box. Message me at odessa82000@yahoo.com or on xboxlive gamertag-- ODESSA Z
