For those that are wondering why they can't update, Sony pulled the 2.4 firmware update after some PS3's are having freezing problems once it was installed.

Good thing I didnt grab it then. Im sure I would have been hit with the bug. I tend to get stuff like that. BTW, Id like to update my internal cooler.

@ktr to me, its not as good as it can be. I can always want to go colder, and my room heats up quick (Master Bedroom at that). It works but I still want a better one :D

welcome AthlonX2 !! the ps3 is awesome and is SOOO much more than a gaming machine. i have linux installed on it but never ever use it. was a pretty simple install. i definately spend more time watching blu-ray movies and streaming x264 rips from my pc than playing games.

Much better then the 360, even with the hard disk you can only get them from Microsoft, and even then they're crap, biggest is 120gb and it probably costs twice as much as your 160gb did.
