Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Did you get Firmware 2.40 when it hit last night just before midnight Eastern Standard Time? I did, and eagerly watched my PS3 finish the download, then go to reboot and install. The screen went dark and the system hung there, green light on. Not sure what to make of it, I left it alone for a few minutes, and then reset it by holding the power button down. It shut down, telling me it wasn’t totally hung, came back on, patched itself up, and was ready to go. Other folks weren’t so lucky.

Apparently the update has been just about bricking a variety of systems, so much so that Sony has officially pulled the firmware from their servers. One unofficial solution has to do with erasing the hard drive and letting the system reinstall itself and re-patch itself, but you’ll want to click on through for those stories. Of course if you didn’t back up your saved games (*gulp*) you lose those along with your videos and such. You do back up your data, right?

So now we wait for 2.41.
