Hi ppl. For those who read about my thread regarding the v2.80 update that bricked my PS3, here's the update for it since mod closed my thread.

I took back my bricked PS3 to the Sony Center and told them it is unable to load the Assassin's Creed bluray and they told me that they will check it. Upon powering up the bricked PS3, they immediately did a system update via Wifi and they told me that it is necessary. Then the PS3 prompted that the firmware is of the latest and no updates are required. Then they put in the AC bluray and true enough, it did not load. After like half an hour where they tried it with other bluray discs and all, they came and told me that it is most likely a faulty bluray drive and replaced a brand new unit for me. That made my day.

Hence, as requested below are the pictures of my brand new PS3 unit that was just hooked up this morning.

Yeah, Wii games that my wife plays a lot. And a lot of PS2 games as well. From ages ago.
