They check for system updates through a different URL,

Here is a US 3.60 Debug Firmware Sample

However, when sony "patched" this, they merely actually read the XI5 pass and version header being sent, and returning a error code, prompting the PS3 to ask for an update...


i agree on that but you think it's safe to put on 3.55 rebug

I am fine with it. You still can't get on NP (retail), but you can go on developer and testing..

Yep, I'm fine with it also, stick with quick signup (as far as I'm concerned there is no agreement to TOS as you dont have to agree to anything)

Putting debug firmware on a retail console by force will basically **** up the console and you will lose various things such as the use of your ps3's bluray drive and vice versa if you put retail on a debug console. So really you get the worst of both worlds.
