A debug firmware on a retail kit means full homebrew support, and ideally the development of a a PS3 Media Centre type thing, with RSX / GPU access and MKV support.

Without risk of bricking the console, preferably. Homebrew is one of the reasons the PSP is the best handheld ever.

I read the posts in the ps3news-forum and once you installed this debug-firmware, you have a PS3 without any debug-functions and no blu-ray playback...

"WOW"
-.-

I will probably attempt this on my 40gig PS3 just for fun. It's my spare so I don't really mind.

Yep, a spare. My HD tv's are already hooked up to my 60gig PS3's. I don't have anymore tv's to make use of my 40gig so I just keep it aside as a backup or for experimental usage. It was originally intended as a gift for my nephew but he changed his mind and wanted an iPhone instead.

Back on topic:
Damn I need two hard drives of the same size. I guess I'll have to do this tomorrow.

You spoil your nephew!

If it were me, I'd say "Heres the damn PS3, now I'm going to teach you how to be a merchant, with a little thing called EBAY. You want an Iphone, you trade it yourself"

Then again you must be the best uncle ever O_O

He couldn't sell it on eBay anyway, he's only 11. But damn you just made me feel really old mentioning the word uncle. I just turned 21. :)

On topic:
Another road block. I can't find the debug firmware anywhere.
