Hidden System Menu Discovered for Sony's PS3, PSP and PS Vita

[PSPSwampy]

Not a menu, I totally agree (A menu suggests additional functionality - like being able to actually DO something)

of random numbers and letters and what looks like half asked email addresses.

Not random, that is version numbers, driver details etc. The "half asked email addresses" (as you call them) are actually what look like source control repository locations (looks like subversion to me) the ####@ appears to be the revision in the repository... i.e. [email protected]

Not much use without the repositories though, more of an interesting find like CJ said.

Actually you only have to hit d-pad left once then let go of the start button.

Just tried this and was amazed for about 10 seconds... might not be much but it's still pretty cool that the PS3 still hides so many secrets (how ever useless they might be, who knows.. maybe this will help in any way possible ya know)

Button-slappers always find the cool stuff
