(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Since everyone is "hyping" about CFW for the PS3 and the release of the keys I thought about a way for sony to make sure CFW wouldn't be able to connect to PSN.

Theory
Every file has it own MD5 hash, so does every official FW released by sony. If sony checked the MD5 hash of the FW it would be able to see if people are using CFW or not since the smallest adjustment in the FW would change the md5. If sony has a way to check the MD5 before connecting to PSN, sony would be able to see if someone is using OFW or CFW.

Would this work for sony? Don't get me wrong I love the hacking and stuff but it was just a theory...

wasnt they on about creating a newer model ps3 anyway with increased security and obsoleetting the older models?

Don't think so. They just released move and the hacking audience is way smaller than the average home user.



There are only rumors.

i know they are i was just putting it out their :hitman:

They could also just remove the update via storage device. That would slow people down.

Knowing Sony, they will find a way around this

doesnt change a thing.. they arent really concerned about people online theyre concerned about piracy.. and piracy will forever go on until they bring out newer models with different hardware ect

1 WEEK LATER! Sony releases 3.56 upgrade via USB and CD/DVD removed. OtherOS still not returned. :sleep:

The thing you don't realize is WE have the codes meaning we can change anything we want with time.

PS3 users are finally happy

I know some people who can only upgrade via usb
