I want it bad.
PS3 firmware updates replace the firmware on the system, they don't patch it. Its a complete wipe and install.Rhindle said:You'd think Sony would have thrown in a new feature or two, so they could at least PRETEND that removing Other OS was necessary in order to support those features. But no, it's straight up collective-punishment time.
Also, why does it take 164MB to disable a feature?

jett said:Is this update really JUST to remove Other OS? At least add something in there Sony, like an in-game xmb that doesn't suck balls.

But there's no option for booting it.
Unknown Soldier said:Sony always distributes their packages as a complete compiled binary. It's why game patches are so huge too. I'm assuming the reason for doing this is, as usual, paranoia about security, since the entire package is encrypted while being distributed and the PS3 decrypts it before installing it, that's why all PS3 downloads need to go through a million years long installation process that 360 downloads just skip.

I can't seem to find any one site that has archived older firmwares. I'd like to grab them now, just in case it becomes possible in the future. If I'm going to have an offline PS3/PS2 PHAT kicking around, it might as well have the last Spiderman font firmware on it. My new crippled slim will handle the online.
The only thing Sony has been right in dropping is the "chrome"...
TTP said:* Operational quality was improved in the PlayStation® standard software of the part which can be downloaded from PlayStation®Store. [Improved PS1 emulator?]
Google translate version:TTP said:Japanese Sony site is reporting the following as added stuff with 3.21
Which means something like this:
* Operational quality was improved in the PlayStation® standard software of the part which can be downloaded from PlayStation®Store. [Improved PS1 emulator?]
* It corresponded to the security vulnerability regarding the playback of the MP4 video file. [More security stuff]
Google Translate said:* Some can be downloaded from PlayStation ® Store in PlayStation ® format software has improved the quality of work.
* Added support for MP4 video file playback security vulnerabilities.
I hope not, wasn't this the same dude who was ok with people pirating? Hopefully it's just an April Fools jokeBoboBrazil said:According to geohot from about an hour ago, he is releasing cfw tomorrow to update and still keep otheros installed
People keep saying that but if I remember correctly it was someone posting in the comments section of his blog as him but it wasn't really him.hamchan said:I hope not, wasn't this the same dude who was ok with people pirating? Hopefully it's just an April Fools joke

Good luck with that. Doesn't the exploit require you to open up your PS3? Wonder how many people are even up for that.BoboBrazil said:According to geohot from about an hour ago, he is releasing cfw tomorrow to update and still keep otheros installed
I think 3.0 is the one that rebranded the system.Peter.Simpson909 said:I also refuse to have something removed from a product I purchased. I've installed Linux twice to mess around with it--didn't accomplish much but the point is I had the choice.
My 60GB will now be offline. I'm a bit of a console whore, so I was planning on buying a Slim anyway. Now I regret updating beyond the Spiderman font splash screen...when was that?
I liked that opening music better, and I'm not much of one for sparkles thanks (yes I know you can turn them off--I have).
I know you can't currently downgrade your system--well, there is a method but you have to have dumped your own NAND before you "upgraded", so that's out.

If you could post the MD5 hashes I could test my theorySchrade said:I have every single firmware update. If need be I'll make a torrent out of 'em.
That would be hilarious :lolSchrade said:That'd be awesome if the PS3 can be hacked with just an MP4 video.
Just because it's custom, it wouldn't be pirate-filled. In any case, I didn't even know he was working on anything like that.hamchan said:I hope not, wasn't this the same dude who was ok with people pirating? Hopefully it's just an April Fools joke

I can't believe Sony are concerned about piracy, what a bunch of half wits. I mean look at the PSP, the games on that are selling like hotcakes.Tr4nce said:So GAF, this wasn't an early April Fools joke?? Sony is really pushing this trough? Wow, that is so stupid and laughable :lol
