1. PS3 firmware update v3.56 now live, kills all brews
2. Update is now live
3. Don't update if you love your brews

Last week, Sony surprised the PlayStation Portable community with the release of PSP firmware 6.37, that includes "some minor update that improves system software stability during use of some features" and apparently, blocks the Sukkiri exploit and some "Kernel exploit used in the Hen." Now moving forward today and what do see, a new firmware announcement for the PS3.

ps3-slim

 

Sony’s Eric Lempel announced earlier that a new PS3 system software update version 3.56 will be coming out real soon.

It's strange how you expect this to happend and when it does your like wow...

oh well I just bought a 320GB PS3 slim (399.99USD) for FW3.56+ but my PS3 CECHA01 is staying on 3.55 Custom ;-)

If 3.56+ doesn't get unpacked and re-package as a custom firmware soon, Sony can probably expect a rise in console sales.

Great... another update. It's really annoying when you turn on your ps3 to watch some netflix and instead you find yourself having to sit for a while updating the system. ALL I WANT TO DO IS WATCH NETFLIX!!!! Now just like the psp, every week I'll probably have to do this. :sigh:

Of course "minor update that improves system software stability during use of some features" really means "we've blocked the latest exploit until the next one comes out so apply the latest useless update to protect sony."

I don't think it will matter. Every PS3 owner decides if they need the online play and if not then they'll probably go with custom firmware and other homebrew.

DO NOT UPDATE DIRECTLY FROM CFW. Go into Recovery mode (I'll assume you know how from installing CFW), install 3.55OFW, THEN update.. I heard rumors it may brick your PS3 if you update on CFW. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. And the DNS trick posted above is only temporary, so grab whatever DLC you want while you still can.. Kakarato or whatever is working on the new firmware.

If these cunts would just stop hacking the system, Sony could spend more time and cash developing games for it.

# except thatnick t 2011-01-27 10:01
Wrong, they would simply spend more time leaving out any features that ps3 users are asking for and allowing themselves to feel smug about it.

has the advent of the hacking done anything detrimental to the ps3 at all? a few noobs may have bricked a console or two but unlike sony claims the sky has not fallen on our heads, the apocalypse has not started!

While youre whining about features, the people that create those features and games are losing money because these lame assholes hacking the system. Sure the sky hasn't fallen yet, but we all lose as gamers when companies will no longer invest in the money it takes to make these great games because they will see no R.O.I. If you don't like a console,because of its features DONT BUY IT. The creators will get the point. Its a better solution than stealing or aiding those that do. :-x

the keys posted allow access to the crypto needed for signing packages such as snes9x or the genesis ports etc.

not all of us on CFW use it for piracy! i have no backup manager installed, was quite happy playing my Legit copy of GT 5 until this morning! i use the cfw simply to ftp to my ps3 and play genesis/snes games. although to be honest its kinda pointless to stay cfw'd until someone releases a decent media server for it with mkv support (dont start preaching about ps3mediaserver or tversity as they both have huge flaws when transcoding for me as im on mac).

the issue i have with your post though is that you are calling all of us on CFW cheap ass cunts which im afraid is like saying all french people are corrupt, all germans are nazi's etc... its simply not true! a lot of idiots out there do just wanna play free games but also for a lot of people its about freedom to use a 'gaming/computer system' the way we want to after we have paid rather a lot of money for it!

The keys are very valuable. We can sign homebrew, but they have to be signed everytime for every new update. KaKaRoTo has released the keys, succesfully updated the program that unpacks and repacks the 3.56 firmware and has already decrypted the new mysterious .SELF package that Sony added. Please, don't speak out your ass. If they weren't valuable, Sony wouldn't be suing Geohot, and if they weren't valuable Sony wouldn't be trying to change AND hide them (which they did, but they were found and released and are now on the reposite http://github.com/kakaroto/ps3keys) EVEN MORE SO, they were discovered within the HOUR that Sony released their precious 3.56.

The funny part is it doesn't matter at all! Every single time Sony changes it, they can get the new data. It's just an annoying fact that with every single FW update you'll have to wait for updated HB.

Or, don't worry about PSN and only update when a game requires it.

It's still game over for Sony.
