WTF is a "famboy"?

1)Then you must not use your PS3 much
2)Only when you update on the day it is released
3)Pointless to you, valuable for others
4)Must be a good reason for that, maybe the filesystem has large files instead of a lot of small ones?
The updates overwrite the entire OS, from what i've read in this part of what gives it such high security against being cracked. Instead of components individually being patched, as they are on the 360, it downloads the entire chunk and overwrites the lot. It's partly because of this we haven't seen widespread piracy on the PS3.

im going to ignore that comment, mainly bc making a one letter error on a forum is not the end of the world - and you knew exactly what i meant.
you can try raining some sort of authority down on me just bc in the grand scheme of things im 'new' but thats pretty pathetic and totally unjustified. pot kettle black much - judging by some of your posts it seems.
There's not abig enough for you.
i have an opinion and you have an opinion - deal with it.

The April 1st update is an exception due to fact it was removing features only available on one model, but it serves to highlight the flaws in firmware release processes, and the way firmware is updated. The most glaring one being why is it necessary for such a large update to disable an already disabled feature on the slim. Maybe it did other undocumented things too, I doubt that in this instance as it seems that firmware release was rushed out for fear that the pirates had set sail for PS3 land and the release we have now is the one that was originally scheduled to be the next update.
They need more structure to their release cycles - stick to quarterly releases for example - and they need to sort out the firmware updating process so that you’re not having to download the entire firmware image each and every time.
That's pure speculation and I highly doubt it provides any additional security. Having full wipes for firmware updates hasn't stopped other devices from being exploited. Modular updates haven't hindered the Xbox in this sense (or if you believe they have, could you provide any further info?
).as said its for security reasons, and its a common way to update firmware... such as phones for example. Updates are impromptu due to development, they wont just sit around on an update for quarter of a year, thats just bad practice... surely implementation on a rollout to see its effect and cause would allow for further development in a quicker time, rather than pushing out 4 or 5 together and getting lost if any errors come up in the world...
Things get updated as and when, if they work on an item to add, theyll work till its done then add it, same with games. If an update they roll out breaks something, and we have to wait 4 months for a fix, you'd be moaning more.

hahaha, some people. Complaining that Sony update their console. Good one.

The fact that the xbox has been cracked to hell and back again surely has some indication that the security measures employed on it aren't as robust as those utilized in the PS3.
Also, i wasn't entirely saying that the 360 method of patching was why it had been cracked, more explaining why 360 updates are quicker than PS3; on the PS3 it downloads and entire OS image, on the 360 is simply downloads component updates.
