  • Holy Crap!!! There are still challenge lobbies on CoD: Modern Warfare 2. Crazy huh… Well i wish they could make a PS4 that could do anything! That would be sweet.

  • what a bunch of whiny ignorant dum-fux, the funny part is you all still think that sony has the right to tell people what to do with our own property. Mindless drones…u think this is gonna stop anyone or save MW2? you think it is ok to release a virus that locks peoples personal property rendering it useless because they modded a game? You really thing it’s about “protecting’ consumers? You really can’t see the truth?

  • Who ever installed the very first cheat into a video game???
    HacX3rz? No! Sony introduced me to game haX…Sony did…think about it. Sony gets no money when we actually enforce the rights to our ps3 consoles…we own them not Sony. The PSN belongs to sony, nothing more, punish people for cheating online, not for doing what they want to do with goods they purchased in the privacy of their own homes. You catch a modded machine online with an unfair advantage to other players, then ban them…simple solution. you think itz Geohot’s fault we are getting another update with NO benefits whatsoever to consumers? Sony has released so many pointless updates for no reason whatsoever than to keep us out of the machines we own and have a right to fair and square.

  • Nope, sony has not thrown a bone to you starving lapdogs in a LOOOOOOOng time…you know why? Why would they when they took all those features away from you long ago, after you already paid for them. Hell I would too if I had customers stupid enough top pay for them a second after I repackaged them in a different boX. Bunch of bozo’s. You know what really is the funniest of all??? The fact that sony brought all this on themselves when they took away the access to the PS3 that owners paid for and still to this day have a right to. They pizzed a bunch of people off and rightfully so…who would not be mad at Ford if they sold you a car and then came to your home and told you they did not like the way you were driving the car, you might hurt yourself, so we are gonna take all the tires for your protection. And when you want them again let us know and for a fee we’ll give em back. You think people were pissed off then…ooohhh, boy, you have no idea how pizzed off some of us are now. So I must say THANX y0u sony!!!! for real, you have only affirmed what we hacX3rz already knew, you need to be out in your place. And we are gonna do it AGAIN. Bunch of sore losers. p34c3 0u7, d3m0n-h4Xr “1337”

  • goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

  • Are the server’s bandwidths overloaded right now or something ? Great job requiring everyone to download it at the same time !

  • Thanks for the update Sony. I am sorry you guys have to devote resources to fighting off these hackers. But it’s important none the less.

    Anyone mad at you guys for protecting your hardware should seriously take a business class or something.

  • There is a newer version for the Playstation.
    Would you like to update this piece of crap?
    It will take awhile to download even with fast internet.
    LOL Ha Ha Ha Ha, Thank You – PS:P

  • Newsflash, Sony: A good chunk of homebrewers don’t in fact crack firmware to pirate games, but rather to add new features to the system- something you guys have been failing horrendously at doing.

  • idk im bored and trying to be the first one on here to post the most crap in one night and im not swearing so thats good. I wish Black Ops had everything free like zombie maps and all that instead of paying for it and when PS3 Plus runs out of membership i would still like to keep my stuff instead of wasting more money on a stupid videogame system. Hey you know what imma go into college after i go into U.S. Marines and learn how to use all kinds of technology and make a bunch of crap like game design, that would be sweet

  • 439 comments…i must say all the comments are babys talking! Play ps3 and wait!! Im sure sony said there going to take there time with updates! But they cant do much, when hackers are taking over ps3!! Im sure half u idiots are hackers!!

  • Thank you Sony! for responding to the hackers! We don’t want hacks on our PS3s, they just ruin the games for everyone!

  • @FunkyTable

    you’re obviously not a business major….

  • P.S. watch out for 2 players by the name of “colorz4567890” and “themacman21” they have still been hacking and deranked, froze ps3, and taking it apart and trying to mod it. LOL jk na there kool. Im really bored

  • technically demon haxors, when you turn on the PS3, you have to agree to the EULA for the PS3 firmware in order to use it, and part of that EULA requires you to waive ownership of the firmware in place of a usage license, seriously read the EULA ahead of time before you get you panties in a knot.

    You aren’t informing us of anything we don’t already know.

  • i just popped on to check what the update is and read the comments as the update loads… i read the problems and suggest getting your PS3 WIRED as i turn its now restarting my PS3 to implement the patch update and install it, and now its at 25%. try using an cat5 cable to your router and it should work fine(since mine did)!! oh now its done. Good luck all!!!!

  • Turned on my ps3, logged in, update
    oh cool, I thought, updated.
    Now I can’t log in -_-

    changed my password 3 times, log in fine on the site, but can’t through ps3, [DELETED] [DELETED] security patch

  • any playstation meeting coverage?

  • v3.56 will still be hacked again. i have a feeling about it cuz GeoHot is a genious. He always finds ways to do this crap. My PS3 keeps freezing up during gameplay and on Internet Browser. Do you Sony know why? no….

  • i love update’s when they put new feature’s and that’s the only time…..but i can’t blame them since the hackers miss it up….i’m all for improving the ps3..but..when they used it to handicap others in game then there’s a problem

  • My Update Completed On The First Try. Im So Lucky And Im Good At Following Instructions Right Like Some Of My Stupid Friends

  • @Firecrest

    It doesn’t matter what they actually do with it, sony is more concerned about what they could potentially do, its a preventative measure.

  • yeah dont give them credit of calling them hackers their just copy/paste moles, hackers actually know stuff lol. but the exploits the hackers released sure are getting in our way of the legit ps3’s being able to get online .. damn 55% at the moment and i started at 612 ahhhhhhhhhh! why [DELETED] is it so slow

  • Lol Infinity Ward Or Activision, Whoever controls the MW2 patches should really update to like a v1.15 or something, because there are people that still have the Challenge Lobby patch after updating the “Security” update. Please that would really change everything for people that are still crazy about that game

  • I just got done downloading, for those of u that are still waiting at low %, email me, and i can email u the file. I ended up downloading from a website which was 100x faster.

  • ya its working fine for everyone now , weird how some people experienced no problems at all though .

  • ..cant…download…making…me…very…angry!

  • @439 dont make up dumb excuses and dont act like anyone but hackers gave a [DELETED] about other [DELETED]. And whos we, what did you do, take another persons instructions on how to hack your ps3 offline. Am i supposed to be impressed by that. you put your name in your post like anyone cares who you are. Hackers are ruining the ps3 way more then the removal of other os by far. Using your car analogy hackers aren’t just driving there cars they are attaching machine guns to it ruining everyone else’s car. No ones impressed and no ones happy about this hacking [DELETED].

  • Someday I wana work for Sony….

  • comment 453 sounds like u got an overheating issue

  • @xXTheXenonXx whats ur email

  • msg me if you want…

  • Im fine with this update. As long as those f@gs on Cod4, MW2 and soon B.O. are stopped from hacking the game to every extent, I am fine.

    However, it would be very nice for us to have more features… The cross game voice chat, a revamped XMB and faster response when bringing up the menu in-game sound the best to me…

    To all you hackers out there.

    Keep offline and I’ll be fine.

  • p.s. my 3.56 firmware is hacX3d alr34dy too…-_- viva la h4cX3rz!!!

  • Dang i think i should go on this alot more and YAY JACKASS IS ON!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 11:01 P.M.

  • All Hackers FTW its crazy how your genious’ about this crap, but still illegal like Weed is too. Wow soo many people do it

  • im tired of “security” patches. they don’t do anything but become a pain in the ass. if it was minor, why does it take forever to dl it? the 360 has major updates that take way less time. like every time they change their Dashboard. This is y hackers do their thing. hacks don’t need updates lol

  • As long as one update can stop those fu*king hackers ruining my game for few days, I will support Sony, even if they keep releasing small patches like this.

  • I wish i could be on tv… that would be cool to be in commercials

  • i’m going to pwn on mw2 right now just for Mr zeeveener here. Now what patch shall I use for my new 3.56 firmware??? Hmmmm, perhapz the m-o-SS-y v8 with the 11th prestige alt. yea, that should do just fine. Hey sony you should hire KaKaRoTo and Geohot to write c0d3 for you…at least then it will work! LOLOLOLOL….teeheehee

  • So let me understand this correctly, here and you know what ill admit here perfectly that yes i jail breaked my PS3 for i can have fun with challenge lobbies but you know what i didn’t hurt anyone or anything i never had any complaints on the MW2, but the only reason right now, we are even having issues in the first place is that we go back to the beginning in which PS3 claimed to be unhackable.. so technical geniuses are gonna say yeah right, and then guess what they did they hacked the PS3 and Sony is mad about it. Because they didn’t get their way, we spent alot of money on our PS3 here and you throw us all of this, I love the idea of a backup manager just in case my 4 year old brother doesn’t grab a disk and breaks it and now i can play it again from my Internal Hdd or my external thats my main reason why i jailbreaked that because of the backup manager so i don’t have to spend more money in which i don’t have for it.

  • You know what sony for me to actually get a PS3 i had to sell 11 Xbox 360 games and a wired Xbox 360 controller for $300 to get your system to play with others, to play for free and you know what i love my PS3 i love the idea of free online play for i can play with friends and im extremely grateful for that. But right now, with all these problems especially now more then half of the community can’t even update to the new 3.56 update,did you even test it before you did it. Maybe if you listen to people and cooperate with others and stop thinking you are mister big shot that has a fat checks and makes all the money and just enjoy making our systems and just reach out and ask what do we want in our next patch and everything i bet you would have a better community. with the unhackable thing you really just put up a challenge to all the hackers in the world to do it, and in the end it was able to do and you sadly enough failed.

  • new hacked CFW 3.56 already out

  • it be nice if the guys claiming they hacked it already can get banned…. after all ur obviously saying and confirming urself that your violating there policys

  • So im sorry if you think im a bad guy and im sorry community that you think im a really bad person here for all of that and you know im appologize that gave all of you a bad experience but i just wanted to be able to save money and just have fun in general with MW2 lobbies, and guess what i didn’t use aimbot or anything all i did was just give some people a next prestige or whatever, Right now yes there is alot of people playing MW2 still but person i played with i bet you wouldn’t complain about me. For what i did in that other then the rest of the community. Sony, you guys just gotta stop trying to challenge people to technology brawl and throw everyone in court just because they called your bluff. Just relax and enjoy what you are doing.

    -Kaori

  • i can NOT stop laughing!!!ROFLROFL

  • Sony Holy Crap. You should just keep updating the Sony PlatStation 3 everyday so nothing would ever go wrong.

  • Warning: Sony PlayStations 3’s will freeze. To prevent this, buy a new one and throw that old piece of black crap away!

  • Guys while we all hate the fact that hackers are raping ps3 security and some idiots are using it to play pirated games I would like to say that ps3 is unfortunately hacked thoroughly (3.56 decrypting keys already in the wild )http://www.ps3-hacks.com/2011/01/26/ps3-firmware-3-56-live/. We need to stop psn access by implementing a key code authenticator for purchased games like pcs have meaning you buy the game you get a keycode to use online and for those people renting implement a temp keycode given by rental passes via psn ie. you rented dead space 2 great pay 1 dollar for 5 day access. otherwise we will never get feature packed updates sony listen to you consumers for once and don’t take out features previously advertised. For one it pisses of the hackers and for two it alienates all legit consumers who want to grow this industry by PAYING for software/features. PS THE HACKERS ARE WINNING.
