Had a very bad day yesterday when my PS3 Slim decided to go beserk and not work.  Nothing would start, the main menu would freeze, haven't a clue on what happened to cause it (other than the fact I was downloading an add-on in the background for Batman Arkham Asylum).  Anyhow, feeling frustrated, I decided to leave it for the night, and look at it again in the morning. After some Googling, I found this site with information on starting the PS3 in "safe-mode", thereby giving you the options shown in the picture above.  I have all options in the order above, only having to restore the PS3 system as my last resort.  All worked well, and now the PS3 is back in business! But....lost a lot of my previous game data, which means I would need to play 200+ hours again to get back all the saved game data which was wiped out during the system restore. Ah well....better get started then!

Just read up on somenews over at Engadet, and report says that Sony now set the European release date as 23rd March 2007. Reading further into the article, it looks like its going to set back at 425 UK Pounds. What are you playing at Sony? No one in the right mind will pay that sort of money! Well not me anyway! That's like 2 Nintendo Wii's! My money is on Nintendo winning this round on the console wars! Good luck Sony. Although I like your brand, you've gone a bit too far on this PS3 baby.
