Please help! What do I do guys? I have a first gen 60gb PS3, UK. Was eager to play CoD this morning so booted up my PS3 and was told to install an update, fair enough, after that I loaded up Modern Warfare 2, played about an hour then my PS3 crashed, assumed it was a problem with CoD as I had problems like this when FIFA 08 was first released before a patch, but then after that it did it again about 20 minutes later and has been totally unusable since.

Please help me! :( This is potentially the worst day of my life...

I dont see how a firmware update in your situation would have caused a brick. Rare cases when firmware updates brick systems, it happens right away. But in your case you claim you installed the firmware and played for an hour and then it crashed.

If you managed to play for an hour, it probably wasn't the update the broke your PS3.

...It appears that this is now Sparta, situated on the River Eurotas in the southern part of the Peloponnese. From c. 650 BC it rose to become the dominant military power in the region and as such was recognized as the overall leader of the combined Greek forces during the Greco-Persian Wars. Helots were the majority inhabitants of Sparta (over 80% of the population according to Herodotus). They were ritually humiliated and during the Crypteia they could be legally killed by Spartan citizens. Between 431 and 404 BC Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War. By 362 BC Sparta's role as the dominant military power in Greece was over. Despite being a rather cruel state by most European standards, Spartan ideals have been adopted (although on a far less extreme scale) and admired throughout Europe; an admiration of Sparta is called laconophilia.
