Though I do not mean that question to be taken literally, I am pretty sure that many of you (this includes me!) have actually used their netbooks or mobile phones in the bathroom. Anyhow, I ordered some nice soaps – yes the kind that you use to wash your hands – from Etsy a couple of months ago.

As you can surmise, I am on an Etsy roll…so what about these soaps? The Etsy shop that sells this soap is Digital Soap, run by Chrystal. She makes natural soaps, without using animal products, detergents, and the like. All her products are also NOT tested on animals, so if you’re sensitive that way, Chrystal’s products are safe for you.

The best thing about her soaps are their shapes! The set that I ordered included a couple of PS3 controller soaps and a mobile phone soap. I actually got them as a joke for my husband who, for some reason, does not think that washing his hands more than once a day is necessary. I was thinking that if the soap were shaped as a controller, he might actually be enticed to use it.

Seriously though, Chrystal’s soaps are so cool. They smell great and they serve as awesome conversation pieces when you have guests.

The new update, v2.40, was THe update that would bring in more accessibility to the XrossMediaBar (XMB), allowing people to actually access it in-game, slight tweaks to the PlayStation Store, tweaks to the DVD and Bluray playback capabilities, and the piece de resistance, the Trophy System.

But availability of the new update was short-lived as Sony pulled it back after complaints flooded the PlayStation message boards about updated PS3s locking up when users try to load a game. The problem seems to also be across the board as owners of 40GB, 60GB and 80GB versions reported the problem.

Sony has yet to issue a statement regarding the issue or an announcement on when it will be made available again.
