…And there was much sadness.
I downloaded and installed the 3.01 firmware with no issues. Rebooted the PS3. I loaded Beatles Rockband and played for about ten minutes before it froze up again. After rebooting, I could not get the game to start.
Further testing on 3.01 reveals that:
1) DVD movies play back OK
2) PS2 games (on DVD) play fine.
3) Downloaded content seems to work OK
4) PS3 does not recognize bluRay discs as a valid format.
Since most of what I do with the PS3 involves bluRay in one way or another, my system continues to be “borked”.
I tried to load both ps3 games on bluRay as well as two seperate bluRay videos I have. None were recognized by the PS3.
I cannot play any bluRay content.
Total bummer.

I got my copy of The Beatles Rockband on Nein! Nein! Nein! looking forward to a Saturday afternoon of enjoyable entertainment and great music. The game insisted that I upgrade my PS3 firmware to the new 3.00 release. OK, no problem. I’ve done this before. Everything seems OK.
Game starts up and I plug in the drum controller. CRASH! Power Cycle. Reboot.

Rambo Game at Cartoon and Game Expo
Am I the only one who is amused watching Chinese video game players in Shanghai play a Rambo video game where the object is to kill Communists?

Dead Men Tell No Tales
This amusement attraction on display at the Cartoon and Game expo lets the player take out what appears to be an animatronic Somali pirate with a rocket launcher on a moving boat. Extra points for a head shot!
