A group by the name of TeamICE made a forum post, claiming to have a PSP Emulator for Jailbroken PS3′s, they posted images and links to the Emulator __eboot_bin on IRC reported that it didn’t work after he tried it but forum member japsander reports that it bricked his console.
This group are NOT the real TeamICE and are NOT affiliated with the real TeamICE either, if anyone has been affected by this please report here, thank you.
EDIT
Other PS3 Forums are reporting about this too, members on PSX Scene have unfortunately also been affected
EDIT 2
Well known and esteemed PS3 Developer Mathieulh has made a post regarding this subject, this is what he says:
The EBOOT.BIN is the manufacturing_updater_for_reset.self it has the same digest on the self. DO NOT RUN THIS, it’ll brick your console if you do, the problem is the psjb patches make it so any self with any auth id will just run because the function that checks it always returns true, that obviously includes jig selfs which are not meant to run in such a fashion)
You should be careful of what you run on your playstation 3, even with a homebrew there are ways to permanently brick your console beyond recovery, even ways sony themselves can’t fix.

Now the jailbreak and its clones have been around for a few weeks, I'd probably give it even longer before throwing all sorts of newly created homebrew apps on there. It's good since the SEGA and SNES emulators are now working (SNES one is very buggy for first release as you may expect) so with that in mind, best to be safe with more stable releases.
I also read somewhere that the PS3 may have originally been programmed to display an error message regarding the overheating of the console and to turn it off for a while...yet since none of us got it, perhaps Sony wanted YLOD so they could also cash in on out of warranty and second hand claims!
The next few months for the PS3 scene will be very exciting....

It is looking good. Also i have a number of mates with phat models having issues with the 3.50 update and media streaming. Another reason im happy not to update.
Im enjoying playing my ps3 for the first time in ages. Heavy Rain, Heavenly Sword and Dead Rising 2 all had a look in on the weekend
