Im sorry for swearing at you like that,im really 10 years old and have ADD
i cant even count to 10 lol 1,2,4,32,5,6,7,11,20. i suck at gaming mostly, the best game i ever played was who could suck a cows tits quicker.

Anyways, once again im sorry that im a jackass, wasnt my fault i was born upside down and that the doctor cut of my dick instead of my umbilical cord

1)Remove the HDD from the PS3 and connect it to your PC,
2)Boot the PC and once in windows quick format the drive to NTFS.
3)Replace drive in PS3 after format and boot, PS3 will ask to format the HDD.
4)Format.

Now it should boot on 2.40

This is for the people who do not want to wait a few days to get another PS3, seems to have been sucessful on the US forums

Go Marlins!!!!

What would piss me off in particular if I install this firmware update and it bricks my machine is that there obviously was not enough beta testing involved before they went ahead and released the firmware.

It’s not the fact that my PS3 bricked that would piss me off so much as it would be the lack of adequate preparation beforehand on the part of the manufacturer before releasing a firmware. WE ARE NOT BETA TESTERS!!!! Thourough testing needs to be performed and all bugs need to be worked out BEFORE firmware gets released out into the wild. Or at least major bugs like ones that would cause the machine to brick should be worked out beforehand at least……That is all I’m saying.

Go Marlins!!!!

Then again it might just be a precautionary move until they can find out the truth of the matter.

I do find it strange that nobody I know has had any problems at all with it

Last summer my 360 was bricked because of Overlord. I put the game in and it basically made my 360 take a huge dump. Did I go online and write about my displeasure on the game bricking my 360? No. Bitching about it does nothing, it just annoys those that have to read the crap you spew out. I call Microsoft, got my coffin, sent it away, and I waited for my 360 to come back home.

If your PS3 was bricked, how about you do something more productive than complaining about it like, I don’t know, call Sony and get it fixed.

It better not brick either because if it does you will NEVER hear the end of it from me.

Go Marlins!!!!

‘Thousands’ of others you say?

Is it just me that get suspicious about posts like this? They always seem to be first time posters and always seem to have a deep underlying hatred of the product they claim to own or its manufacturer

I might be wrong. There might be a real problem but all he evidence so far points to the negative.

It reminds me a lot of the first time posters who popped up everywhere on forums declaring they’ve had 15 360’s go 3RROD or all of those guys on here who complained about the 40gb PS3 having a 30% failure rate.

Sadly there are a lot of people who simply lie about this stuff to stir up trouble so unless its a poster with a history on a site I just assume the are talking crap until they supply some proof, which they never do of course

“shut the fuck up you winy bitch, you probably suck shit at gaming anyway god some fucking people”

I think what Mr. Weed was trying to say is this:

Dear sir,

While i respect your opinion on this new addition to our gaming experience i feel that you may want to give it some time, as with every type of programming there are glitches that can cause some problems.

Sincerly,
Mr. Dick Weed.

Yes, this is indeed what he was trying to say, and would’ve said if he had the tact and maturity to address you properly, instead of an immature ass.

And people wonder why gamers/gaming gets a bad rap
