(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Strange. Usually we get PS3 demo firmware updates after the official retail console updates. Now we're getting 2.51for the demo unit first. No word yet on what exactly this release does, give it a try and see for yourself.

Even if this update is only for demos, it's a nice, safe attempt at a dry-run for software before releasing it for general use. After all, since firmware affects your system, installing an incompatible or faulty update may ruin it. It's better that demo units get their hands on this before we run it in ours, right?

Important: the password to unlock the PS3 firmware 2.5 demo units is 6258.

1. Download the wanted firmware
2. Rename it from XXX.PUP to UPDATE.PUP
3. Copy the file on any external device, such as an MS, on the ms0:/PS3/UPDATE folder
4. Run it under the PS3. Done.

Hey Hi PS3Guru!
I manage with a PS3 Demo Unit and every now and then I have to update it for a new game to play properly. So I'm always desperatly seeking the URL for the latest "DEMO" .PUP file...

Are you explaining to us in this tread that I can just get the retail .PUP file widely distributed, change its name for UPDATE.PUP, put it on the external device and have the job's done? (And use the proper unlock as usual afterward, of course...)

If not... is there any easy way to know more efficiently the exact URL for the most recent PS3UPDATE.PUP for kiosk demo units?

I look foward for any anwser 'bout it, and thanks for lighting this world with some more of your lights... (if I can say so!) lol

Well not to really it was for people to install retail firmware on the ps3. if you have a demo ps3 you can update your ps3 then unlock it with codes.
