Latest PlayStation 3 Firmware Update Thread *V2*


Recommended Posts

Why would they remove that option? so i'm forced to stick to an older version and not able to update? >_> *******s

There are 19 pages of hate comments over a the EU PlayStation Blog, though I'm not sure about the US one. It's a very strange thing to do, and the only reason I can see is they're protecting themselves against any exploits through what Geohot and others may find. But by doing this they've made a lot of researchers and just general users angry and stuck on an inferior operating system that will eventually be forced by newer games.

@Xilo: Yeah, lol.

    • Same here or that Opera Max was not a thing anymore. Nothing lost... Who the hell would be considering Opera or Samsung when needing a VPN? LOL
    • If you go to the game developer website you can see that indeed Cyril Paciullo is the game director and developer https://www.pluralys.ca/about-us/ and when clicking on his name it lists Messenger Plus! as part of his CV. In case you wondered what happened to Patchou
    • A difficult position to be in. Either they cater to us users or they cater to news curators to potentially increase traffic. Personally, I wasn't being sarcastic. Hosting a website isn't free, so without traffic this site stops existing, and if you want traffic you have to play the game. I legitimately thought the title was good. Not because I like it, but because it's the kind of title people will click on. This site needs that.
