FYI - The PS3 cannot suffer from RROD (Red Ring Of Death) but it can get YLOD (yellow light of death). RROD refers to the Xbox and YLOD is for PS3.
I too had just recently fixed a 60 GB launch PS3 from YLOD using guides from YouTube. The power supply was fine, your power supply may working just fine too. I just needed a heat gun to re-flow the solder points on the BGA for the Cell BE and RSX chips.
I think its great there is information available for those that are willing to try fix it themselves.
A lot seperates us between now and then. Countless dead, every family across the planet touched by it. Nobody on this planet has a family that was untouched by that war. Absolutely Everyone lost someone in that war.
That is an interesting thought there; but consider the Inuit of Canada. It wasn't until the 50's and 60's that we were finally introduced to "modern technology". We literally went from isolated hunter gatherers using spears and still living off the land to meeting explorers who came by airplane introducing us to rifles and automobiles. We didn't have the slow technological advance that the rest of the world adjusted to; it was a huge leap for us up here and most of the elders are still trying to adjust. I'm 99.9% sure my family has never been touched by war!
I'm not saying we don't sympathize for anyone and everyone that has lost someone to war; but not every family on Earth has direct decedents of war casualties
this is one of many reasons why I love slashdot...
even in an idle story there are still insightful comments that I learn from and can relate to.
I only wish I had some mod points!
As per TFA: "For those PS3 users who are currently using the “Other OS” feature but choose to install the system software update, to avoid data loss they first need to back-up any data stored within the hard drive partition used by the “Other OS,” as they will not be able to access that data following the update."
They'll also prevent older versions from signing in to PSN; which totally sucks as I do have Linux installed on my PS3 and love to play MAG!

They're Chinese. They eat Chinese food.
To them its just food, not Chinese food.

Sit ubu sit
I wonder if the "PS3" blu-ray disc which is connects to streaming movies via BD-Live would work on regular Blu-ray players?
