That’s the technical term for ‘transmuting electronic hardware into a common house brick’. June 27 should clear the problem up hopefully for the ”small number” of PS3s impacted.
Depending on how the fix is brought about, a set of instructions may need to be issued to reverse the ‘brickification’ (another tech term) of the consoles.
”We have identified the issue related to the PlayStation 3 software update (version 4.45) that impacted a small number of PS3 systems earlier this week. A new PS3 system software update is planned to be released on June 27 that resolves the issue,” Sony Europe told VideoGamer.com.
”Thank you for your patience and understanding and we apologise for the inconvenience.”
