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.

I like that they took the Xbox idea of adding the rating system. I like rating systems, and I usually participate.

    • Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.
    • You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
