New PS3 Firmware Update 2.0 Breaking PS3's?

After PS3 owners waited anxiously for the Firmware 2.0 update to be released on the PSN it seems that it may actually be the cause of a lot of issues. A large number of PS3 owners have been on the official site to voice concerns of their PS3 functioning incorrectly since installing the update.

Complaints range from a small as slowed menu navigation and slow PS Store download speeds to more critical errors such as games consistently crashing or even the PS3 completely losing the ability to read discs. Others have also complained on the official forum that their PS3 keeps turning itself on due to the new Remote Start feature in FW 2.0 (which allows you to turn on your PS3 wirelessly via the internet for Remote Play via a PSP). It's worth noting that the timing of the errors could be completely coincidental. It's not uncommon for users who experience errors soon after an update to point the finger of blame at the new firmware.

Sony have been unavailable to comment this far but updates will be posted when they do.
