It actually scared me a bit. Right after it finished downloading, before installing it, the screen went black and the controllers turned off. I couldn't shut down the system by touching the power "button". Fortunately I flipped the power cut-off switch off and on in back and that worked. Then it booted up and installed the firmware. Played around with it a bit and saw no problems though.

I wonder if that's all that happened with these reports? Some users are pretty stupid when it comes to technology and may not even know there's a power switch in back.]]>Jul 2nd 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 4th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 3rd 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 3rd 2008 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/

Let me just watch the rest of the second season, and make my own mind up. I kind of like it!
And that Katie Holmes... MAN! She's hot!

Another thing about me. I went to the movies on monday, and watched Sex and the City. And; I'm NOT gay.

Believe me?

Probably not.

I'm from Norway, you know!]]>Jul 2nd 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/Jul 2nd 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/sony-pulls-2-40-firmware-update-after-reports-of-bricked-ps3s/
