whats wrong with this update?! its too damn slow and I have a fast internet connection
I think its not just a security patch, it is a whole new operating system!
I really hope they can stop hackers…it could hurt the sales of games…nobody wants to play a game where they have no chance…that sucks…the website reddotcity needs to be shut down..i jus played a game today that didnt have hackers in it…first day in weeks…if u have any other updates that will stop the [DELETED] send them to me…mw2 and black ops is the [DELETED]…..
at least could i download the update from your site, it will be a lot faster
600 plus comments awesome haha
what about banning hackers and pirates? This update wont help they will come back
Hey Eric, just so you know this didn’t stop the jailbreak and elite mossy hacks. It would be alot easier to ban people if Sony required a credit card to sign up for psn. I’m not saying to charge for psn. If sony had credit card information or an IP address attached to a psn account, if some is banned they would not be able to create another account. As for Geohot I don’t understand why Sony is just going after him for piracy, when jury would put him away for DESTROYING MULTIPLAYER games/PSN. Imagine if our TV’s or Cell Phone’s were as f***ed up as PSN is. I’m sure the person responsible would be spending sometime in prison.
^ Sony doesn’t need to ban IP, Sony can ban the console altogether. IP address can be refreshed once you restart your modem.
How can Sony ban their consoles? A security patch isn’t going to work the hackers rewrite it.
Glad they patched this
Those hackers may know stuff but they are [DELETED] stupid and selfish.
In Sony I trust! XD
hackers need to be putt in there place.
I can’t play bionic commando, or street fighter 4. I haven’t tried anything else. Thanks for [DELETED] my system sony!

Too bad my PS3 has the yellow light of death again for the 3rd time. Shoddy work Sony and terrible support. For less than 5 years of ownership I will have spent nearly $100 just to own a PS3 that long let alone all the other thousands of $ I have spent on software! Thanks for nothing but headaches and worries.”
This should have said spent nearly $1000 just to own a PS3.
I need to agree with Wolf26pack: It’s like talking to a wall, why Sony, why aren’t you at least packing SOMETHING with your security system updates. A new visualizer, just something to make us want to update.
I mean, we all understand that the recent security crysis is severe and as much as I hate piracy and cheaters you really need to work on your customer relations. Issueing such updates doesn’t help your cause, you need to reach out, explain what you are doing and why you are doing it.
hi,. new menu layout for psp2 looks nice. can ps3 also get that?
Mine updated just fine…took 15 minutes
maybe sony would tell us something if you whiners would [DELETED]
I can’t play bionic commando, or street fighter 4. I haven’t tried anything else. Thanks for messing up my system sony! I have tried a ton of other games too! All my ps3 will read now is dvd’s.
got to 46% and error
I think its high time Sony started listening to the community that supports it. If they really care about keeping us happy then start giving us a reason to not only stay with Sony but also to stay with OFW. Start fighting for your customers Sony instead of against the hackers, you may have better luck.
I don’t mind patches for security and stability (even with 4 different patches corrupting my HDD and losing all the time I spent playing the games I own) It’s been almost 5 years and the PS3 has no real enticing features that can keep up with your competitors, let alone anything that we have asked for. You like to gloat and show off numbers and have big JT go on about how the PS3 does everything, so far the updates have taken away features and crippled the experience (Unless you like movie delivery services, then it does do everything) Start putting your money where your mouth is.

thats the link to download it from a pc and install from usb stick etc
man there is ALOT of anger in here. people need to take a chill pill. its NOT, i repeat, NOT Sony’s fault, blame those punk [DELETED] who wanna get some nerd cred. Sony just trying to restore what those punks [DELETED] up. i hope Sony will string them up. ok ok i do admit that they need to invest in some more servers so our download dont swamp the network.
I love my automatic updates. I just woke up to this and it’s installing now.
However, Sony, there should be an option to have it auto-install the firmware for us PS+ members. Thanks.
Also, for the record, if you are over the age of 18 and you are still trying to bootleg software…get a job.
Oh good. Maybe those Modern Warfare 2 MP hacking I been hearing will get what they get for messing up our multiplayer experience.
Heres an idea for the pirates. Get a ****** job, quit mooching off the Obama plan, and buy the games. Cheap *******

What is happening Sony? I never did something wrong with my PS3 System, but after read more than 200 comments saying that this patch has broken their PS3 System, I’m really afraid about this Update.
Will you say something for us? Please, tell us about the risks. If this can broken my PS3, I wont make this update.
This update really works? Anyone could tell me that?
My advice to everyone is to wait until the next update, because my system along with many other peoples systems will not read games anymore. It’s the same thing that they did when the slim models came out, and they broke everybody’s launch consoles. Hope that Sony fixes it soon, or they are going to have a huge lawsuit on their hands.
sending a comment to see if im not banned :(
IMHO, Sony Computer Entertainment needs to learn from this misstep. Removing the Other OS from the PS3 was THE biggest mistake they could have made. This action provided the motivation necessary for hackers to do what they do best; break security measures. Now when they make futile efforts to re-secure the system with system updates they end up upsetting the wrong people. Just look at all these unhappy paying customers. The hackers are not suffering. System updates should INCLUDE features not take them away.
Can we get a XMB redesigned just like LiveArena for NGP
OK Sony… You reaaaally SUCKS!
Stop Fighting piracy, and work to make a good product!!!
I´m shame of buy the MOVE Controller… The games are really bad. And I saw the comercial on TV, and is really sad to know that THE ONLY GAMES FOR MOTION ARE THE 5 GAMES ON THE TV !!
And now, another update…for nothing.
GeoHot rules!
I hope someone find the way to bypass the PSN control, so all we can forget this stupids updates.
STOP! COMPLAINING! JEez.. go have a drink and shut up already.
Quit whining, it worked perfectly for me, you obviously screwed it up on your own, or you have a crap isp.
/mr dog
Add some new features you bums!
For those who persist on knowing, the latest update addresses a security flaw in which people could install custom “blackbox” firmware allowing them to install modified add-ons (cheats or hacks) for games. It also addresses some memory leak issues.

All sony needs to do is ban the Mac Address of the PS3, they are wasting time and money, you will never stay ahead of hackers. sony, use your resources more wisely, oh, and the XMB and PSn is way behind, update it please.
In light of some comments I am reading, I can clearly see a few individuals in this post list who are sad about losing their ability to hack the PS3 system with malicious intentions. Keep it up, remember sooner or later SCEA will catch you and out will come the MAC Ban-Hammer.

Update Completes ! <3
X)
Guess I was one of the few that had it DL and install no prob.
Nice try Sony boys, but FW 3.56 took 5 hours to be hacked and recoded to a new CFW… What’s next?
thats bs i blame sony the hackers arnt doing anything wrong (I dont use hacks but i dont care if someone else does)
“Shoot. Guess I’ll just have to start renting games or buying them used from Gamestop and back them up to my hard drive until the new custom firmware comes out…”
Seriously. What do you think that your “security update” is going to do besides piss off people who are already going to pirate games to begin with?
Fail gracefully.
The people who have the knowledge to retrieve the keys and create custom firmware only wanted to write code (If you can make your own games why bother stealing someone else’s?)
>_<
The hackers are patching the patch!
Thank you Sony! Only took like 7 minutes to DL/install. Bye bye hackers
When is PS4 coming out ? :)
Only 5 mins 2 downlaod, and 1st match in was hacked!!! some much 4 security update….
