What a moron.
If he looked around on the INTERNET(the thing he posted his complaint on) he would have found that if your PS3 gives you a YLOD from updating a firmware you can switch out the HDD reformat the new one and it will work again.
My brother had that happen to him when I updated his firmware so I just backed up the content on my HDD. Put it in his, reformated, took it out and put his HDD back in then reformated it. Hit the update button and he was good to go with the newest firmware. He lost his saved data but it was free. And he hasnt had any problems with his PS3 since.
