New PS3 firmware 3.56

But, but.... there's "NOTHING" Sony could do!?

To your console no, but to PSN yes of course they can block CFW .

The keys are out there it doesn't mean everyone has a lust to go on PSN.

I couldn't care less eitherway tbh it's just funny watching the usual posters get the handbags out .

An honest thief, how nobel!

Piracy isn't theft, that's why it's called piracy, and it's spelt "noble".

Yep think those using CFW offline are safe until some game or something requires them to have firmware version X to play it. Hopefully this just keep those cheaters and hackers of PSN and let those who want homebrew to use it, and those who want to use their PS3 with OFW to enjoy online etc. Still i would still be concerned that even before 3.56 your PS3 sends sony a load of info even if you dont log into PSN aslong as its online sony still knows what you are doing.

That's all I care about. The longer they're kept off PSN the better.

Whenever I read a 'pirate' justifying their reasons for downloading games, all I think is 'you simpleton'. There are a few of them on these very forums, and they've always been like it.

Really, these people are so short-sighted and oblivious to the harm they are doing to the industry as a whole (and therefore themselves as the consumer)..it just blows my mind.

Just look at the PC gaming industry: it's on its knees. Games that would usually sell for £30-odd quid are being put on Steam for £2 upwards no. They wouldn't be doing that if money was being made! It's a dying platform and mainly because of the massive levels of piracy that's infected every aspect of it. Publishers are backing off from it and putting their efforts in to console gaming more and more these days.

Game pirates = ***** simpletons.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You have to be mentally retarded to think the PC gaming industry is on its knees. Just looking at Steam by itself completely disproves this. As for all the should be £30 games for £2, care to point them out, or are you just lying?

you need to use waterproof tostabags works a treat

personally i loved the psp hack as i ended up playing emulators and PS1 games more then anything else but its a different thing altogether when its an online gaming console.

Custom firmwares for the PSP were the best thing about it, being able to play through all my old PS1 games on a handheld was great, as well as being able to rip all of my games on to my memory sticks, increasing battery life and lowering loading times. If custom firmwares bring similar things to PS3, then it's a great thing. Piracy will always be present and people need to stop pretending otherwise, it's not the big destructive force people claim it to be.

Sonys is a sneaker lil thing aint they?
So basically,
So they can interogate your PS3 without your knowledge and remove any software they havent signed (prob some table somewhere) and remove the items from your HDD. If i used CFW i would be removing my system from the internet as i see a big ban hammer approaching. Activision have also started banning cheaters on the PS3 from codblops permantly.

Only if you are stupid enough to update to 3.56.

Hmmm. Who is correct people who read internet forums and proclaim NOTHING can be done? Not getting on a high horse or anything but you two constantly claim NOTHING can be done, and Hackers have won, and hackers are smart etc. Clearly something can be done, and without releasing new hardware, they are able to put measures in place.

What I've said is not blindly repeating what I've 'read on internet forums', it's from looking at the evidence and what is known about the hack, and forming my own opinion. Despite fanboy ramblings, Sony haven't 'won' with 3.56. Worse case scenario: 3.56+ machines will have to be hardware flased with a NAND/NOR flasher to be downgraded.

Again I repeat, ALL current hardware is compromised, there is nothing Sony can do to stop homebrew on the PS3 apart from a hardware revision, it just may not be a simple softmod on 3.56+ machines.

The best they can achieve is no PSN access for machines running CFW, which isn't really a bad thing TBH.

I didn't actually add anything.

Drexel is quite correct about not being able to flash a CFW to a PS3 that has been updated to 3.56 as I have also seen the information out there about these CFW's and Sony's new offering also seeing the evidence that a NOR/NAND flasher is required. It may even become the way of the XBOX Jtag hack actually adding value to PS3's with a FW that can be compromised as they become rarer.

But again if you are on 3.55 and a custom version of 3.56 is made available then obviously it's not going to stop.

Hah! Ok, thank you. I always have trouble with spelling so really appreciate the correction. Very kind.

Try and keep things civil if you can - don't get personal. I said from £2 upwards. Just check the Steams sales that PC gamers tend to get so very excited about. BF Bad Company 2 was about £6 just recently wasn't it? That's my point. So no, I'm not lying...

"Retail sales in the PC game software industry also experienced declines, with revenues down 23 percent, generating $538 million in 2009. The total console, portable and PC game software industry generated $10.5 billion, an 11 percent decline vs. the $11.7 billion generated in 2008."

Do the math.

I thought I'd post the full quote to keep things fair. However, PC games sales slumped 23%, and console games 11% - however, I think you can see the difference in the market values. Where do you think developers will focus their efforts (if they aren't already!)?

So, even with the best will in the world I wouldn't really describe the PC gaming industry as anything other than second best.

Are you seriously putting all that down to piracy.........

You seem to have trouble with definitions too.

Yes, you did say from £2 upwards, I asked for proof and you've went on about a (at the time) 9 month old game being discounted from £20 (not £30) to £6.50 in a massive sale. So yeah you are lying, or at least making things up, because you still haven't shown this £30 to £2 that's happening with recent games because they're not selling well. Do you understand just how much money is made from these games when they're discounted so much? I can't believe you're using sale prices to further your argument.

Do the maths.

PC games didn't slump, take another look at your quote, they list "retail", what's happened is digital distribution has increased while retail sales have stagnated. Devs make more money from digital distribution and a lot of people find it more favourable, it's no wonder why retail sales have slumped at all. I simply don't buy games retail unless they're not able to be linked to my Steam account, or are a lot cheaper to buy retail.

Please, stop talking rubbish, you don't know what you're talking about, put the shovel down.

You can't define PC gaming under one umbrella as is the same with console. Each company is generating money up and down every day, with big name releases we will see a boom of "growth" in terms of cash generated (in shares) you can't use a fiscal year to judge the "success" of a platform. Consoles are generating a further increase in share prices due to mass appeal.

Both can co-incide (not sure if spelt that right) and compliment each other but we need PS4/"720" to come out to further our technology in our little gaming worlds.

im sure all these people on their high horses about hacking have never jailbroken/rooted their phones either.

No, of course not. Copyright infringement right? Not a lost sale then? Yeah, ok. I always love that argument,gives me a little chuckle every time it gets trawled out.

Piracy doesn't hurt anyone? Ask Paul and Rachel Chandler

Nope, got a standard PSP too.
