And in another news - users who installed the latest 3.54 FW lately found out that not only they can't use anymore any 3rd party USB cables but any controller or another devices including PSP attempted to connect using non-certified USB cables is permanently disabled and not possible to use anymore even after connecting by approved USB lead ...

Whoa! thats pretty wild, they are really tightning up everything. Also this will only hurt people who are playing it straight. Who dosnt have multiple usb-cables these days and if you accidentally use a wrong one ..

Of cause something like this isnt unexpected on a console. I bet they would still sell games and movies as cartridges if blu-ray wasnt so much cheaper to make.

Back on topic: Nice bundle really. Anything that makes the ps3 more of a media machine is a good thing.
