Have you contacted Sony or Facebook? It would be interesting to know their answer.

I have not. Last time I complained to sony they sent out an update to all playstations and when I downloaded it my ps3 clicked off and i got the 'yellow light of death'... done, over, forever. This new ps3 was a gift from my girlfriend so I wouldn't want to give sony any reason to fry her $300 purchase like they did with mine.

I know this is a conspiracy theory. The sony fanboys ripped me apart when I complained on twitter about it. 'Obviously' it was just coincidence. I'm thinking at the very least it has to do with that legit version of yellow dog linux i had on it at one point which they forced me to remove with a more recent update if i wanted to keep my psn access. I have a feeling i would have been better off just giving them the boot then and there.. ohh well, SMH

EDIT: just so everyone knows the details it was after the big crack of psn, it was down for months and every day i turned on my ps3, checked if i could get on and turn it off. I complained on twitter at some point and when the network finally came back up I installed the update. It completed 'successfully' and asked me to allow it to restart my ps3, I said yes, it turned off, yellow light comes on and the tears begin to fall.
