Why would anyone download an update that wasn't authentic ie, from sony via the internet through their ps3? Are people really just googling ps3 update and downloading the first thing they see?

Problem (Sort of):
So i just purchased a 80gb USA PS3. I currently live in canada and subscribe to starchoice (satellite service). When i initially connected my ps3 (using the supplied RCA connection that come included in the package), my satellite went down. But my ps3 was working properly. I did some tests and found that the RG6 line was faulty and recplaced it. To rerun the wire i disconnected my ps3 (so i could properly hide the wires, etc). Upon recconecting the A/V cable tot he back of the ps3, the sat went down again - this time Im thinking the lnb on my satellite has blown. Initially i attributed the RG6 cable going down to a coincidence - the weather was extremely stormy and the cable was aged (10 years at this point). The second time it happened, it was due to my ps3 - no doubt. Can anyone explain this? I also noticed when i initially plugged my ps3 in, my house lights flickered, like it was a huge power draw - now everything is fine and the lights do not dim like the did upon the ps3s initial hook up. Im thinking that while my machine seems to be operating properly it could still be faulty? If anyone can help me gain some insight into this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Your so quick to say SONY make junk,may i ask,what have you made or created that is so great,my guess is you dont own a PS3 and youve decided to post a comment in a sly way bashing it.

Have had my 60gb ps3 for about a month now and finished resistance fall of man with a friend the other night and it locked up at the ending. The disc drive has died and now wont read any games or movies. I called sony australias hotline and now have to send it back for a refurbished unit!
Turn around time for sony is 48hrs but its the 5 days transit either way that annoys me as they wont pay for express postage.
I had version 1.93 installed at the time but also loaded the latest 2.1 to see if it would fix it but didn't.
Just posted this so all would know some potential problems.
Cheers,
Brett

well, i figured id post my problems i have had with the ps3....
i bought my first ps3 when they came out...no problems for like 5 months and then during game play, it just cut out on its on...and would not turn back on or eject the game...so i called sony and they replaced it no problem...well, just the other day i was playing ratchet and clank and then turned it off for a few hours and then decided to watch a blu ray....after the movie..i turned it off and hit the bed...got up the next day, turned it on to play drake and it said i need to rebuild my database...basically all my saved data and everything will be gone...so i was like i guess i have no choice...so i clicked ok and supposibly it only take like 5 mins or so but mine sat at zero percent for almost 3 hours...
so i called sony up and explained to the lady on the other end on what happened and she didnt know what i was talkin about...in then end i think my hard drive just gave out...so now im goin to my 3rd playstation...
i havent heard of to many other people having this problem...so i figured id post this just to let people know this might be something gradually happening like the 3 red lights with the xbox 360...

Stonedawg how are you turning it of,do you turn it of via control pad/touch sensitive power button on the front or are do you turn it of straight from the power button at the back.
I know it may seem a strang question,but if you turn it of continuasly at the back or at the plug socket before shutting it down properly that can damage it.

Well from my last post I still dont have my PS3 back! I was meant to get a email saying when it had arrived, no email. I called on the 25th and was told that sony australia repair centre had received it on the 22nd Jan and as I was told initially over the phone a 48hr turn around to be sent back out.
I get an email last night (31st Jan) saying we have just received your PS3 and the turn around at the repair centre will be 7-10 days!
Sent them a email asking what the @#$% is going on, no reply, called this afternoon after still not receiving it in the mail and old matey on the phone said there has been a delay and now they are 7-10 days so I asked for a supervisor and he said "there are no supervisors after 5pm" yet the call centre is open until 8pm?
I dont know what else to do now and this is a joke?
Can I bring consumer affairs into this?
Sony Australia is pathetic...

I need some help...I was playing my ps3 and the game froze up. I turned my ps3 off and then back on. When I turned the ps3 back on, it would not play my game. It will not even play a movie or any of my other games. It did this before and I just turned it off and waited 10 minutes and it started playing the game again but it did not work this time. Any help is appreciated...thanks

Eject the disc, disconnect the power. When you reconnect the power turn switch in back on. Then hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Then try to play a game. See if that works. :)

If you did read my previous post to that it was meant to be a 48hr turn around.
Needless to say that hasn't happened.
And fool for you waiting over a month without acting on it anyway!
These arent $20 items they are $1000 consoles made by one of the biggest companys in the world
