Firmware 2.01 may brick the PS3
"Starting last week, PS3 owners started reporting that their next gen console would not read their Blu-Ray discs. Some users reported that their PS3 would not even read DVD’s. All reports started to come in after gamers made the upgrade to 2.01."
NOTE: The link to boardsus.playstation.com where the complaints are clearly documented is included in the article at ripten.

Good work, xbox fans should look at this blog.
My ps3 console has a different kind of flu.Was playing FIFA 08 then the machine froze citing a disc error problem.Now it can't read any discs.Am in east africa,console is from the US,so am in a fix since shipping it back is bloody xpensive.
Mine has been working fine for a year now.
This is just Xbotfeed..
was playing cod4 other day and mine went wrong, about a month old - no heavy use. i hope they can fix this so my replacement doesnt go the same way
yes this is true. I bought the 80 GB motorstorm pack from amazon last month. Played great for about 2 days. Downloaded 2.01 and all hell broke loose. System froze while I was playing Motorstorm. Eversince the system wouldn't read a disk of anykind (CD/DVD/PS3/BluRay). Fortunatley Amazon was kind enough to send me a replacementat no charge. I love my PS3, but I will stick with my current firmware (1.70 I think) until I see how all of this shakes out.
He Said it right, No Problems faced here as well. I think its you people are the problem itself. make sure you have a PS3 before commenting :)
I have the PS3 for 1 month now and updated the system Twice and Did Not Faced Any Problems or whatsoever. It's actually better because I can still play Pirated DVD's, and PS2 games used in PS3 have better graphics than before. Audio CD's can be copied on the HDD directly. At present I bought 3 Games Online, and Have Enkoyed around 30 Games Free Demos downloaded from PSN. Those who have problems are not related to 2.01 I can say that!
Yes, can confirm that, 3 days after update my PS3 won't play anything anymore, system boots fine, no disc CD, DVD, BD, Games is recognised anymore. Returned it to the shop who sends it in for checking. Damn, had it only for less than 3 months and the repair might take up to 15 working days. That's so bad!
my ps3 won't even turn on. idk if its the 2.01 or not, but i did update. they're sending me a new system.
