So as you all know, my PS3 was sent back to me from Sony’s service department even more broken than before. And as you’ve likely gathered, I’ve been too lazy to go through the steps of sending it back in.
Today I finally made the call, and was instantly assaulted with layers and layers of pre-recorded messages telling me, in so many words, to fuck off. After five minutes or so of pointless navigation, and being told 29332 times that Sony has a troubleshooting page on their official website, I gave up.
…and went to the troubleshooting page.
Anyway. I decided to attempt a system restore. Happen to know how long a full restore takes?
FIVE GODDAMNED HOURS.
After an hour, I’m at a whopping 12 percent, so frankly I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t take longer. And I can’t get rid of the nagging feeling that this really won’t do a lick of good anyway.

Yes, I am shirtless in this picture.
As you can see, I’ve become rather… frustrated.
