(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So a lot of people are talking about the 3.56 user agreement. Most of you seem to be confused about it. So I'm here to help.


New restrictions on what you can and can not do with your console.

"You may not lease, rent, sublicense, publish, modify, adapt, or translate any portion of the System Software. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the System Software, or create any derivative works, or otherwise attempt to create System Software source code from its object code. You may not use any unauthorized, illegal, counterfeit, or modified hardware or software in connection with the System Software, including use of tools to bypass, disable, or circumvent any encryption, security, or authentication mechanism for the PS3TM system; violate any laws, regulations or statutes, or rights of SCE, its affiliated companies, or third parties in connection with your access to or use of the System Software, including the access, use, or distribution of any software or hardware that you know or should have known to be infringing or pirated; use any hardware or software to cause the System Software to accept or use unauthorized, illegal, or pirated software or hardware; obtain the System Software in any manner other than through SCE's authorized distribution methods; or exploit the System Software in any manner other than to use it in your PS3TM system in accordance with the accompanying documentation and with authorized software or hardware, including use of the System Software to design, develop, update, or distribute unauthorized software or hardware for use in connection with the PS3TM system for any reason. Any violation of these restrictions will void the PS3TM system's warranty and affect your ability to obtain warranty services and repair services from SCE or its affiliated companies."

What Sony can do to you if you violate this.

If SCE determines that you have violated the terms of this Agreement, SCE may take all actions to protect its interests, including denial of any services such as warranty services and repair services provided for your PS3TM system and termination of your access to PlayStation®Network, implementation of upgrades or devices intended to discontinue unauthorized use, or reliance on any other remedial efforts as reasonably necessary to prevent the use of a modified PS3TM system, or any pirated material or equipment. SCE and its licensors reserve the right to bring legal action in the event of a violation of this Agreement. SCE reserves the right to participate in any government or private legal action or investigation relating to your conduct.

Hacking is no longer advised.

If you still have NOT updated to the 3.56 then that means you did not agree to the new terms of service. Meaning if you do not update to 3.56 when a 3.56 CFW comes out you can NOT be console banned from PSN.

hey your right bro i agree with youSmile glad i didnt update

But using the official keys doesn't it make it authorized?

I think I am thinking complete BS it just makes the ps3 think it was authorized doesn't it?

ROLL TIDE!!!
If you honestly think running below 3.56 with CFW is legal for you. Your completely wrong, and I will not say what you sound like.

From the moment you bought the PS3. You entered an agreement. Weither you want to admit it or not. YOU DID!.

You can not run custom code and think your Perfectly legal, that my friends just sounds Stupid.

Don't come in here shooting off.

Some people are too young and don't have that option, so they rely on the firmwares and take the risk of going online.


so have u updated or are u using the dns trick??
