Updates have been finicky lately for the PS3 and I'm reading about all sorts of horror stories in another tech news blog I sometimes frequent.
Luckily, my extreme procrastination for things not urgent still has my PS3 broken (BR laser dead) so I have not bothered to do any updates. I'll let them do that when I finally send it in for repairs.
I do miss watching BRs though. It's been broke since December.
Edit for a last minute thought:
So if you do decide to throw it in the pool, please send me your Blue Laser assembly first.
