PS3 Slim and Price Cut

Be careful with today's "required" software update; installing it completely bricked my system.  Out of warranty and I'd rather not pay more than it's worth on eBay to repair, so it looks like I'm PS3less.

On Reddit, some predicted that currently frozen consoles will be restorable using the PS3's "safe mode" boot feature and installing from an external USB drive.

I don't think mine even safeboots successfully.  The CSR I talked to today said the dude I talked to yesterday had bad info.  In fact the CSR I talked to today had his own PS3 get bricked by the update too.  Now I'm waiting for an email from Sony after they're done troubleshooting and it sounds like they're going to fix it at low or no cost.  Hopefully Sony gets this right.

DPD.  Just got a call from Sony, who confirmed that my PS3 won't even boot into Safe Mode.  They're dispatching a return box and will repair it at no cost.  Go Sony.

Anyone have any tips on backing up the hard drive before I send it off?  The system doesn't boot so a USB drive won't work.

TPD.  Got my PS3 back from Sony today.  I lost all my data but it works perfectly again at no cost to me.  It's always nice to get good customer service.
