SCEE to Address PS3 Firmware 3.0 Issues Today
Sony to break silence on user issues on blog.
Sony released Firmware 3.0 for the PlayStation 3 at the beginning of the month, but since the update arrived many users have been experiencing problems with their hardware. Some have had DualShock controllers failing to connect, others have been flitting in and out of the PlayStation Network, other (such as a SPOnG staffer's old, phat, 60Gb) have seen their PS3 disabled completely. So, naturally a lot of people are irked about the new firmware.
While salvation might not be around the corner, Sony is reportedly aware of the problems that its users are having. Sony's European PlayStation Blog is due to publish a 'Q&A' on the matter at some point today, according to the editor, Jem Alexander.
When posed a question in the comments area yesterday about the Firmware issues, Alexander responded with the following:
"Don’t worry. The Q&A is coming tomorrow. We’ve been trying to get accurate responses to as many of your questions as possible."
So an official explanation - and hopefully, solution - to all this madness (besides the US PlayStation Blog's rather small, 'tail-between-the-legs' apology) is incoming. Will it bring back our beloved dead consoles though? Time will tell.

I've have no problems at all, other than I don't have BBC iPlayer, but since all they show is mostly crap I ain't too bothered.

You can go to http://bbc.co.uk/iplayer in the browser and get the same thing. Here's the info from the BBC themselves.

Auto disc start ( insert DVD or Blu-Ray and PS3 plays without me telling it to) is not working except if consloe is off on insert. My controllers also do not connect, B-Ray remote still works.

Auto disc start no longer works, and the console will not play DVDs or blu-rays.
Just played a game of Madden, went to save and the console locked up.
FIX THIS SONY!

Its not the Firmware that has caused ur problem.
Its actually a hair or peice of dust or the bluray drive has just died.
You are going to need to send it in to sony for Repairs
