Beware European PS3 soon-to-be owners, the PS3 has locked out PAL/NTSC DVDs even if they are region free or homemade. So if you have NTSC discs and live in a PAL land, even though you may be hooked up to an LCD or plasma display, Sony will prevent playback. Same happens with PAL discs in the US.

Media player my fat hairy butt!

According to Kotaku, some modders are experiencing problems where the PS3 refuses to boot up on an upgraded HD:

Anyone care to try this out and confirm if this is / is not the case? :)

This is Straight BullShit from SONY….. They know as well as we do that this update is not really for “Screen Mode” and “USB CAM” only…. They should release the complete specs of everything that the Update does……
