OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Be careful with today's "required" software update; installing it completely bricked my system.  Out of warranty and I'd rather not pay more than it's worth on eBay to repair, so it looks like I'm PS3less.

QuoteOn Reddit, some predicted that currently frozen consoles will be restorable using the PS3's "safe mode" boot feature and installing from an external USB drive.

I don't think mine even safeboots successfully.  The CSR I talked to today said the dude I talked to yesterday had bad info.  In fact the CSR I talked to today had his own PS3 get bricked by the update too.  Now I'm waiting for an email from Sony after they're done troubleshooting and it sounds like they're going to fix it at low or no cost.  Hopefully Sony gets this right.

DPD.  Just got a call from Sony, who confirmed that my PS3 won't even boot into Safe Mode.  They're dispatching a return box and will repair it at no cost.  Go Sony.

Anyone have any tips on backing up the hard drive before I send it off?  The system doesn't boot so a USB drive won't work.

TPD.  Got my PS3 back from Sony today.  I lost all my data but it works perfectly again at no cost to me.  It's always nice to get good customer service.

I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Fixed.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.
