The last update (4.31) nearly killed my system. It runs slow in everything it does, web browser is more useless than usual, games lag and stall, particularly during cutscenes, audio cues get misfired or missed completely, and now the system has started freezing. I'm sure I'm far from the first to say something, but maybe if enough of us say something, Sony might actually DO something other than blame our system and demand $150 to NOT FIX IT.
I've tried using safe mode to rebuild the database. That made the XMB work a little better, but didn't solve any of the other problems. I'm not looking forward to reformatting my system and losing all of my progress, especially considering I truly don't expect it to fix anything.
