"This one's for the firmware fans out there; Sony's just released an update for the PlayStation 3 – number 3.42 for those keeping score – which ramps up the security measures for the console. There are no new features as such aside from the increased security that effectively shuts out the jailbreak which had just recently come out into the open, and you'll need to install it in order to connect to PlayStation Network. The jailbreak – activated via a USB dongle - allowed owners to copy games on to the PlayStation 3's hard drive – but more nefarious minds could also use the crack to obtain and play illegally obtained games. The update is available now, so lovers of the PlayStation 3's update bar will have something to look forward to next time they switch their consoles one."Wow I'm surprised they shut that down fast, but what they can take from this is to allow people to copy their own game discs and allow them to upload for backing up. You'd have to verify the game disc by going online then they give you the download all just in case if the original game disc get's wrecked, something that could help those out there who get this problem.
remember when sony started to put spyware in their cd's and dvd's? to keep track of what people were copying on their computers and then forcing your computer to send back the info to sony?and then got sued for invasion of privacy or somethin?and lost?I barely remember, wasn't on the news very long must have paid the media to keep it quiet.doesn't seem likes its been a big thorn on their side either.something just tells me they are never gonna let go of this.and something tells me they are soon gonna start tainting ps3's that use any means of bypassing sony's required updates.However logan's tool is rather smart, its a tool you use on your computer, a proxy used with the ip your ps3 uses, that stops sony forced update to go online.But I don't know, it's all very new.They are gonna stay on it cause its a cash cow. They wont let go of it until the next console comes in.also, as D said, they're aren't that many good titles on ps3. And if it becomes easy to copy it all they could loose a lot of money.
Deity, If I have a TI-84 Silver edition, Will that work?Also I can't seem to find your post on LoganSTool and all the links on google are crap.
