How to Downgrade a PS3 Kiosk

The "kiosk," or "demo" versions of the Sony PlayStation 3 can be seen in electronics retail stores around the world. There is no difference between the kiosk version of the PS3 and the retail version, with the exception that all kiosk PS3s require a passcode to access the main menu. Thus, if you need to downgrade your kiosk PS3 to its factory settings, you can easily do so as long as you have the passcode.
