Nice man ...
Easy solution but you found it

Indeed it gives some new idea's ...
Let's have fun with patch editing LOL ..
Also idea:
If we would get a hold of the patch before 1.30 (the one we get on after bypass) and let the ps3 load that one when it asks for the 1.30 update and fool it so we actually bypassed and can play with the hacks but the ps3 is thinking that it has installed the 1.30 update so it won't sign you out ....
Maybe I'm not making any sence lol but I'm tired and should go to bed now ...
Anyway, gj Kill_streak
