I wish there was a way to bypass the ps3 update just to play online games.

Update V 2.52 killed my PS3 and so did the previous one. I was however able to fix my PS3 with the previous corrupted update that was issused by purchasing and replacing the internal harddrive from Bestbuy.

When downloaded the new 2. 52 update for the PS3, the same thing happened to my PS3 when I downloaded the previous one. My tv screen froze, I was unable to watch blu ray movies or play games. My remote wouldn't function either.

That's why i want to get either the NAD or the Denon blu ray player. I purchased a Sharp Aquous blu ray for 199.00 until i'm able to get a nicer one.
At least Denon said that If an update kills a Denon machine, they will repair it free even if it's not under the warranty. At the same time, they said they will evaluate each persons issue case by case before making a final decision.
Sony however, will not repair a PS3 period if it's not under a warranty. That's what I was told when I spoke to a PS3 manager on the phone when their update killed my PS3.
