Drill it out, put a new screw in? Not all that hard. Would help but I'm probably miles away.

Ah. Not having a drill would be kind of a problem.
There's nothing special about putting one into a PS3. I've drilled into much more expensive (and dangerous) things in the past, and I'm still alive and so are the things I drilled into - well, mostly. But it's not something I'd recommend if you haven't done it before. Or if you don't have a drill.
EDIT: Is it the head or the thread that is stripped?
Head. The blue screw is an ass.

You got a hacksaw? Or maybe more to the point, what HAVE you got other than pliers?
@jackben. Look, there's some serious old-tech stuff going on here. You trying to distract us?
@suairyu: gotta pop out for a bit. Back in about a half an hour if you haven't fixed it by then.

Just checked it out while puffing a creamy joint of jack herer with gta paused ftw, the track has a driver 4 vibe to it. Me likey
Hacksaw wouldn't get purchase if I tried. It's in a recess. Here's the thing:
In all my years of screwing and unscrewing electronics, I've never, ever encountered a screw like this fucking blue screw. It's like it's made of putty.
Inside stripped when using a precision philips head like I was using a circular sander.
You can see my attempt at using a needle-nosed plier around the outside, it just 'melted' at the touch.
Fuck me the only clear cut way to victory appears to be using a dremel to cut a flat-head-shaped slot:

That's just horrible.
Couple of approaches I can think of:
1) superglue something to it - and ensue that the thing you glue to it is something you can get decent leverage on
2) Drill (yeah, I know you don't have a drill, but this is for the benefit of others listening) with a very fine bit down the centre of the screw, should loosen it up enough to turn.
3) Go high-pressure/high torque/low speed. Just bang a whole lot of weight on the thing with the biggest screwdriver you have and turn really slowly. Even slower than that. Often works.
4) Use a hammer and claim on the warranty

Suairyu, that looks like a whole pile of messed up. I have no idea what you should do next, but you have my sympathies re: not playing GTA.
Anyone see Rush (the film, not the band) yet? Quite fancy a cinema trip in the next few days and not really interested in anything else currently out.

Congrats Suairyu.
Stopped playing for the night. Can't beat those damn fucking aliens though.
Also new iOS 7 is weird.

Been messing around with it since last week. So much better than iOS of old.

Like anything new it'll just take some getting used to

Yup, no doubt. So slick though, although bringing up command center from the bottom when you have a keyboard out is a bitch sometimes. I'm guessing that's just an issue with apps not yet ready for ios7.

Surprised there isn't a picture of Ken's face in there. With a note that just says "suck my dick - Ken".

40% through GTA V. Going to try and slow down, I don't want to burn throughout too quick.
Not gonna lie, her moans were weirdly arousing. Wouldn't do that though.
Just going to avoid her in the morning. I'm weirded the fuck out.

Stop her in the hall, look her in the eye and say 'I can make you go louder'.
Do NOT break eye contact.

If nothing else GTAV is deep in content. I spent about 20 minutes lost in the Los Santos sewers and then found myself outside a cinema so went in to watch a black and white arthouse movie about a free standing ladder in the sand and a dying mule. Finally found Michael and proceeded to play a round of sweary golf.

Morning dudes,
Glad you sorted your PS3 out Su!
Afoni, embrace the young love fella, it's beautiful.
My housemate is forever asking to borrow GTA now, cheapskate won't buy his own copy!
Two days until the weekend, aww yeah. Busy as fuck at work though with me being off next week. I want to just chill, but it ain't happening!

So, I'm guessing I'm around ten hours into the story - so if you're not quite this far I would NOT read this spoiler.
I think I will be doing multiple plays (maybe on the PS3 next)
Edit not to do a Jed - My goodness, I'm reading the iOS7 thread this morning and I feel like slamming my head between a door and door frame... It's fucking painful to read. "It's failing to update" "Why's it not updating" "Fuck this shit, apple suck" - My goodness, it's a thread on the new OS not a thread to bitch about the fact that Apple has and always will suck at pushing out upgrades because they get special people like everybody posting in that thread trying to download it all at the same time. It's called OTA because it will tell you when it wants you to download it, it does not mean that you should hammer their servers to try and beat everyone else to it. But on another note, the update is sweet on my iPhone, but fails a little bit on the iPad with some huge noticeable slow downs, but I have faith that Apple will fix this soon. Need to find myself a sexy lady wallpaper where her face isn't covered by the time now.
The score you do for Trevor where you have the choice for the Sub & Helicopter and the other one I think is just a Sub or Helicopter (can't remember off the top of my head) - If you take the one where it's just one vehicle, what's the end result. I was REALLY disappointed with the result from the one I did and just intrigued to know whether I had gone a different route what would of happened?

Gotta get a lot of GTA in tonight when I get home. Got my Mum coming up tomorrow evening so won't be able to play then, getting my hair done Saturday morning then spending the day with Mum before going to see Les Mis in the evening. No idea what time she's leaving Sunday either so don't know how much I'll get to play then.
Monday night will be packing and won't get back till late Wednesday night. So it may very well be a week before I get to play again. I'm going to be so far behind everyone else.....

Morning chums!
I need an Xbox 360 again, due to my spastic hands and the weird Dualshock design I've stripped the skin from one of my fingers and it stings like a bitch. I'm struggling with certain missions, it took me a few times to do the first Trevor mission.
