Well done! Hmm, (showing my ignorance of PS3 technical details here) any chance that this will work on other versions of the hardware soon? I'm a hardware junkie, so I might buy a PS3, but I guess that version with that low a firmware isn't very easy to get hold of were I live. (And no, I don't play much, my ps2 slim is just collecting dust.) -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
