"Users found that removing and reformatting their PS3 hard drive and then reinserting it into the console would get the system to boot completely, after which it asks to reformat the disk again and everything runs normally. Of course they lose all of their saved games and have to redo all of their downloads, but I suppose that is better than sending in the system for a $150.00 repair". K

i think it;s kinda impatient to try that so fast. and irrational, first i would wait to see sony's response to this and see what solution they find after "playing" with it for a lil while
