For those who never updated their FAT ps3

[GSZX1337]

Jeez. Other than releasing the PS3 Slim a bit early, has there really been ANYTHING that Sony has done right this gen?

Uhh, pissing people off and fucking over their early adopters?

First, they force people to install many of their games to the hard drive just to play the game.

I've been installing games ot the hard drive just to play them for 20 years now. Hard drives are faster than optical media; I love installing stuff.

Agreed. Even if its only optional to install a game I still do.

Also a question to everyone refusing to update: When and if Geohots firmware comes out, will you actually be installing linux? Or is this just some way for you to stick it to sony, who will probably quickly release another update and therefore start the process all over again.

Just doesn't seem all that worth it to me personally.

I know Niode actually uses his Linux partition for emulators. But others are doing it on "moral" grounds.

Actually, most games don't load any faster when they're installed. They've proven this on both the PS3 and Xbox 360

Regarding the DNS spoof (it's not a mac address spoof, that would do nothing) it doesn't work anymore. They've made PSN check the firmware version of the PS3 now rather than how it worked before (where the PS3 checked PSN what the latest version is). It's a two way thing now and if you don't match the latest firmware you can't get on.

Haha, I have no idea what possessed me to say Mac. I sure am retarded sometimes.

Well, this is bad news for all those refusing to update [like myself], as it means GeoHot's new CFW is now useless, unless he comes up with a 3.30 CFW.

[Niode]

Yep, I'm pissed off. My PS3 is just a glorified DVR now...

I don't really game online much with my PS3, I don't often use PSN, and most of the updates are just pure shit. (Ooh, you can arrange your trophies, ooh, you can organize your images, WOW, you still can't organize your games by name!)

This is more of the same for me. Sometimes, I go for months without updating. Though, for the past few months, I've been contemplating selling my PS3 (I have the 60GB version) and getting a slim. I think having the hacked firmware would get a slightly higher price.

I immediately thought of this:

Update really is just a down date to cripple other OS, only way to stay on PSN.
All purchased downloads, you should consider a "Rental" since it can't be backed up.

Slim is another screw up, lost a lotta features including option of installing Linux.
On the plus Slim is less error prone compared to Fat YLOD.
