0nyX Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 So if the PSGroove/PSJailBreak/PSFreedom guys not find a solution not only you lose PSN on hacked console but you wont be able to play future PS3 games. I guess a race of updates is going to start with both sides releasing them very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrealistic Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Good thing I took the time to update to 3.41 last night (which as always takes a terribly long time to do). I have it setup on my Palm Pre, but don't really have the time or care to want to try it. At the end of the day the PS3 is still not my preferred console, even if the games could technically be free if I so desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I think you find that they can do such things, anyone buying it would have known the risks and that Sony would aim to prevent such things. People probably would have realised that they couldn't update their firmware anymore until that gets circumvented as well. I did it, nope i've not downloaded any games, I did it out of interest. How much did it cost me? Absolutely nothing.... I guess i'm an idiot.... The idiot parts is for those that aid for such hacks, you didn't there for you are not an idiot pretty simple really :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0nyX Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 So people who don't give a damn about psn and online gaming are happily using the backup manager right now. and future games unless they find a way to circumvent that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 and future games unless they find a way to circumvent that. Exactly, if Sony make it that games will only run on a certain firmware then they also need to start putting that FW on the disc too (like PSP) for those that are not online.

helios01 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Exactly, if Sony make it that games will only run on a certain firmware then they also need to start putting that FW on the disc too (like PSP) for those that are not online. What happens to the people without internet connections? does Sony lock them out of any future games by requiring an online firmware update?

basques Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 and future games unless they find a way to circumvent that. Yes but in that case if you decide to upgrade your firmware to be able to play a new game, it will be your own decision. My point was, there is no technical method for sony to force update your ps3, you might decide to stay on the current firmware forever if you wish so, and just use the backup manager for the games released till the current date.

ManMountain Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I wish Sony would provide an update that allows the transfer of games to the PS3's internal HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basques Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 What happens to the people without internet connections? does Sony lock them out of any future games by requiring an online firmware update? If a game requires a specific firmware version, they always include the firmware file in the disc so you can upgrade even if you don't have any internet connection. You may of course decline to upgrade your firmware, but the game simply will not start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Firmware 3.42 blocks the exploit, yes finally hehe :p My link Already bypassed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Already bypassed This is it now I feel that Sony will never be able to fully stop the uses that this hack has. They can keep making it harder, but now the hackers have a lot more info to work with I think Sony is fighting a losing battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted September 7, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted September 7, 2010 Don't update - http://twitter.com/Mathieulh Bypass only works through a proxy for 3.21 which will be blocked like 3.15 was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandalsquad Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yep we have deffinatley entered PSP territory now that the hackers have the keys to the gate.. This may just be a stop gap but while Sony try and get it together next few months will tell. Not that updates bother me I could still install Linux on my PS if I wanted to :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, the current work around was implemented fast, and will be addressed in a future update to the newly implemented hacks. Fun stuff. Sucks to be Sony :p From Digital Foundry: "3.42 is the only way to access PSN, so in Sony's world you have to upgrade. However, for now it looks like people who have the Jailbreak are sticking to 3.41 and using a proxy server bypass to remain online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honda Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hello :) Firmware 3.42 blocks the exploit, yes finally hehe :p My link This will at some point be also hacked now that developers know the innerworkings of the console's firmware. BWAHAHAHAHAH at the idiots that bought stuff to hack it, IDIOTS. Face it you schmucks (who ever wants to play downloaded games) sony will not allow you to do such things :p This I imagine at some point will also be hacked.

AbandonedTrolley Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hackers FTW! I hope Sony loses this battle hard. I still have forgiven them for the rootkit problems they caused. Wow! Why would you want Sony to lose the battle against piracy? You realise that it's not just Sony that will get hit hard by this? There are lots of smaller developers that don't have massive budgets and possibly saw the PS3 as the better option to release stuff on due to the unlikelyhood of piracy denting sales. Some peoples hatred towards the bigger corporations is so blinkered at times :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
