We’ve just been informed that PS3 firmware 3.42 has hit Network Update. Although Sony usually updates its blog ahead of time with information ahead of time on new firmware releases, that is not the case this time — presumably as today is a holiday in the states.

Judging by the incremental version bump, chances are this is a relatively small update. Chances are also high that it blocks the recently PS3 exploit that has been making waves across the net since the PS Jailbreak code was reversed earlier last week.

That said, we’d strongly urge that anyone who wishes to retain the ability to run homebrew should refrain from updating. Unfortunately, staying on 3.41 translates to no PSN access, as Sony has flagged 3.42 as a mandatory update.

Update: We can confirm that all variants of the USB-hub emulating exploit (PSFreedom, PSGroove, PSJailbreak) are no longer functional in firmware 3.42.

see this is better, if u want to hack just go on xbox, i like ps3 becuz theirs no aimbots, hacks, so i want sony to patch it all, if u wanna hack, get ur ass of to xbox, stop trying to make ps3 like xbox

as i have already stated i want to hack, and i dont want to hack the shitbox and as i already have my sisters wii hacked that leaves me with one other console which is my ps3. so im gonna hack my ass on my ps3, if you dont want hacks on your ps3 thats fine by me, but i want hacks on mine so seeing as its mine i will have hacks. if you join a game with someone that has hacks and you dont like it you are welcome to quit.
