Today I decided to see if the PS3 would brick during a firmware update like the PSP did. Here is the video of my findings.

very cool , i just hope that it wasn't flashing the flash1 (only)(considering it was only at 5%) which can be regenerated.

Again, awesome work. I wonder is this also applies if the installion is at the 50%-90% complete range...

Something to ponder

my girlfriend still thinks i'm a nerd, but at least i have my ps3 now.
