Finally managed to get my PS3 sorted out after a nightmare earlier this week. I initially couldn't connect to the PS3 wireless so decided to update the (router) firmware. Unfortunately, the upgrade failed and bricked my router! Took me about 10 hours pissing around to sort out and then it became apparent that the reason I couldn't initially connect by WiFi was due to poor support of WPA2 by either Sony or the router! Aaargh!
Anyway, on the the hardware. The PS3 package I eventually got was the 80GB Movie bundle including "300". The outer box was marked CECHL03 but this was just a shell around an internal box which is marked CECHM03.
I haven't had time to check anything but idle power consumption so far but, according to my el cheapo power meter, it idles at around 107W. I'll update this post with figures for load once I've found the time to do something which gives the system a bit more of a workout!
