I've still got my spare phat 60gb on 3.15 that I've been debating updating to 4.00/4.10 so I can finally unwrap that new copy of Resistance 3, as well as get the new FFXIII-2 (I'll only play it on PS). I'm just worried about a newer firmware overheating it.
I'll keep my slim on kmeaw for now, even though there are only so many older games worth playing to me anymore. Showtime is a nice program, at least until I get around to setting up an htpc.
If you want to keep all your saves this (http://www.ps3news.com/playstation-3...dded-consoles/) is 15 quid but tis a great tool for removing copy protection and reassigning ps3 saves, all the trophy hunters are using it.
Its resigned pretty much every save I've thrown at it, so I'm able to use other peoples saves and copy protected saves (once off the ps3)
