Update: December 20, 2009

Well, I finally did it.  Instead of getting my broken PS3 fixed/refurb'd I just broke down and got one of the new ones a couple of weeks back (almost a year to the day when I got the other PS3), right after the last firmware update (Data Transfer Utility = VERY helpful).  Haven't been playing BP much, due to how much the wife loves Rock Band (her and I are working on Lego Rock Band right now).  Aaanyway, I just got the beta of ModNation Racers, so I'll be messing w/that a bit, too.
