Not even 24 hours ago we wrote about a potentially troubling problem with the recent 3.61 PS3 firmware update. Specifically, users were claiming that said update was causing their PS3 to overheat and/or die (receive the dreaded yellow or red light of death). Sony came out and said that it was RockStar’s LA Noir causing the issue. RockStar fired back and said it was Sony’s update to blame. Now, both companies have come forward and said neither entity is at fault and that it is something else causing PS3s to over heat:
“We have received a very small number of customer support questions about PS3’s overheating or shutting down while playing L.A. Noire. At this time, Rockstar Games and Sony can confirm that neither L.A. Noire or firmware update 3.61 are causing the PS3 hardware to overheat. We are both committed to working hard to find solutions to this and any issues that may arise.”
In our previous article from yesterday, the comments kept coming in as the night progressed. Likewise, searching around the web on the same topic will net many more accounts of people supposedly affected by something — either Sony’s update or LA Noir (or possibly a rouge unicorn). Who’s lying?
