Because what if the patch don't come out tomorrow?
Or the next day.. Or day after that LOL.

Most people can't go a day without going on PSN and this is just a method how to get online instead of waiting for the patch.

this does work, also only peel half your sticker away and it doesnt void your warranty as you havent "removed" it!

should take 10 mins most.

also the only way possible for them to solve this is either release a fix that reset your bios/internal clock on their website..

or recall ALL there PHAT PS3's (20,40,60,80gb) models and re issue everyone with a new slimline which wont happens.

Seriously,why would you do this? Risk busting your own PS3,rather than wait a few days? Not Happy or Sad

Oh and this is what I did when my 60GB got the YLOD,I opened it up like this to get my game out Happy

This isn't hard to do no, But you have to be careful with it.
Try not to ruse and keep note where all the screws go.
