While the PS3 won't bring about world peace or solve world hunger, there's a good chance that it can help cure cancer. But your PS3 can't to it without you. With firmware update 1.6 just around the corner, it's time to do your part for humanity. This week marks the first ever Sunday Night Foldathon in support of Stanford's cancer research efforts.

"The S.N.F event is simple. On Sunday Night (March. 25th 2007) everyone who wants to participate in the S.N.F event simply turn there PS3 on and start the folding program, could be anytime you want or when you goto bed, you may let the program run as long as you want but would be great if it could atleast last till 7am Monday morning, its all up to you since anything helps. This is to see how much help we (the playstation community) can be for this program and to show them that the feature is being widely used and maybe saving lives in the process."

Let's use the comments section as a virtual "pledge card." Let everyone know that your committed to leaving your PS3 on Sunday night in support of this great initiative and to help make the world a better place. Truly, this is a time for fanboys to unite!

Wish I could help :( I am going to Florida, and I don't want to upgrade just yet. I want to see what happens with the prospective exploits and ISO loader that comes out (not that I want to load ISOs, but some good may come out of it; like a homebrew exploit.)

I agree but I do have the firmware bypass thing so I am going to check right now if this is part of firmware 1.6 or if it just something downloadable online that normally requires the latest update, which in this case is 1.6. I'll tell you how it goes.

Edit: Well I just checked and it isn't a download like I suspected. I guess it's just part of the firmware itself.

Hmm what a waste of electricity.

How could you say helping to solve a world dellema that is killing thousands every year be A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY.

YOU OBVIOUSLY dont know anyone dying of some form of cancer! If you did or had the faintest respect for life you WOULDNT EVEN THINK 2X ABOUT WASTING NOT EVEN 4 CENTS!

Some ppl amaze me in this world
