While I myself have had no troubles with updating and no users on our boards have reported issues this is still something quite serious, hopefully Sony will have a 2.41 released to clear up the problems that some users are having.
[Update] Sony has posted a new blog update about the firmware being pulled.
We're receiving reports that PS3s are no longer updating to firmware 2.40. Consoles currently running 2.36 are stating that there are no available updates when a system update is attempted. It seems that downloading the firmware from the official sites is also impossible. Firefox 404s out on the Japanese, European and American sites. Has the latest firmware been pulled from the net? If so, why? If you're having issues with grabbing the latest update be sure to let us know.
We'll be contacting Sony to find out exactly what's going on, so keep an eye on us for more info. Hopefully soon.
Update: Confirmed. Firmware 2.40 is currently unavailable.
