(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); There are rumors flying about that firmware version 3.56 was not “minor” at all as it was described by Sony. There seems to be a neat little addition or two that was added to help Sony fight against homebrew that allows piracy.

First thing is that Sony has enabled the ability, that once a PS3 connects to the network, it can then verify the files required and/or bypassed from the newest firmware versions etc. There is no perfect way to forge this and even if code is written to bypass this option, Sony can still see PS3′s that connected to PSN without accomplishing this step giving them the heads up anyways. What this basically means is that if you have custom firmware then you will not have PSN access very soon.

Secondly, it seems that Sony has installed a trojan horse of sorts in your PS3 that allows them to control it remotely to force download proper firmware as needed. This one is a bit shaky and I’m not 100% sure of what laws govern this procedure if any. Basically Sony can see you are bypassing their firmware, they can take your PS3 and force it to download the newest firmware options. A bit of a touchy subject here, but brutal nonetheless.

So it seems if you want PSN access, stay away from customfirmware. This will at the very least fix the online cheaters, trophy cheaters and such which is a good thing.

well, they kinda do, because without an update you cant berly ghet online.

I can't see Sony having the power to remotely power our PS3's ... I'm sure there's something in the law or T's and C's that stops them from doing that. It has to come under a free will sort of thing and how we bought our PS3's so we should have our part of controlling it. What i just said might be all bullshit but that's my opinion.

i totally agree with this

Did you not see the part of the end of his post that said source?

if its true where is the source??

okay sony cant do anything since they didnt buy our ps3 back the only thing they CAN do is just watch us hack away XP

lol so what? as long as they do what they are supposed to do it doesnt matter, and u cant sue anyone for no reason... Now if they are controlling/banning ur PS3 without you hacking it, thats another reason, but once u hack it, thats what another story....

Remember: Terms of Service is there for something, if you agree with it YOU CAN'T GO AGAINST IT, meaning you will have PSN access because you're doing what they said and what you're supposed to do, and not doing what you're not. If you don't agree, fine. But you don't have PSN access. thats why they put options there agree or disagree (PSN access or no PSN access)

Another thing is Private Policy so I suggest you for any product you buy, read those two things first (before agreeing/buying) before 'suing' lol. otherwise 'trying to sue' someone with no reason is gonna go straight to you:carling:
