The PS3 4.45 update was made available today (to disable Trophy popups in games). Your PS3 may ask you to update your console.
DO NOT ACCEPT IT!
Most people who have downloaded the update have come across a crippling problem, the PS3 will not proceed past the "Welcome Ribbon" and into the XMB. This seems to currently affect people who have upgraded or changed their HDD.
Sony has already pulled the update offline, meaning you shouldn't be able to access it, but in the off chance that your PS3 asks you to make the update do yourself a favor and do not accept the update until further notice.
For those of you who have already gotten the update and are affected by this issue, I am sorry for your PS3's sudden incapacitation.
UPDATE: Sony will be releasing a non-bricking update next Thursday along with instructions for console owners that were bricked on how to unbrick their consoles.
