thank again.just in time for the rumored hack on all FW.

not rumoured

real

if you do what was suggested in the video you font lose any data or anything im pretty sure. Don't waste your time and money just do it. Also if you try to put your hard drive in a new PS3 it won't work anyway, it will ask to format it for the new PS3. If you put another blank hard drive into the PS3 your old one won't be recognised and all your data is useless.
