  • EVERYONE THAT IS HAVING PROBLEM READ THIS:

    After trying over 30-40 times it passed 0%, first 10 percents were damm slow, then it takes off quicly to eh 20s, currently at 34%

    Sometimes it may slow down

  • And these hackers had the nerve to ask for jobs from Sony after they hack into their hardware. SMH

  • well thanks sony i got banned today and i didnt hack my ps3 or jailbreak it either the update downloaded fine and i got banned permanantly for nothing im done with sony cuz this is rediculous oh and treyarch sucks so let them put another call of duty out for you guys garrentee its gonna bomb just like ops did

  • 300 COMMENTS!!!….WOOOOOOOO!!!!

  • wow people have no patience. If you have tried over and over again give it a try tomorrow. No gaming session is so important that you can’t hold off for 7 hours.

  • well i just downloaded the update with no problems at all. and seriously people, are you really complaining over a security patch?? i wonder how long it would have taken for people to complain if sony hadnt had some sort of security patch.

  • man, Geohot’s so awesome. He wasted tons of time and resources to score an SNES emulator. Too bad he didn’t realize that he could’ve installed one on a Wii for the cost of a USB stick and about 10 minutes. Fcking moron.

  • DO NOT DO THE UPDATE IT KILLS SYSTEMS

  • I dunno what you people are complaining about. Maybe you have horrible internet connections. I downloaded it first try no problem. It took about an hour but I got it.

    I think the idea of a security update to stop people from moding their PS3 is stupid but it’s happening. Moders will just work around it anyway.

  • @301 Bomb like Ops did? It sold better than MW2. I am one of the few sheep who have never bought a CoD game. Its not Treyarch that sucks, it’s cod.

    In other news, this firmware update was already hacked. What was the point of this then?

  • @OB_Venom

    Its funny though cause the update is already cracked…about 30 minutes ago..

  • sony you guys really need to do updates in pieces. xbox live is way more friendly toward its users. not to mention i dont get kicked out of partys and have to try 50 times to get into a party and play with friends. the best onsole might not win the console war but the best customer service will. step it up sony. your killing me disabling my online play until your dumblong update is gone. step it up really.

  • I FINALLY GOT IT! You have to keep retrying and retrying. Took me about a half-hour and 7-8 tries before the update successfully completed.

  • sorry for cussing but gezzz this isnt a big deal hombrewss ooOOoOoo a snes w.e

  • hopefully this can lock out some hackers who are only interested in free games, despite what they say about “homebrew”. losers.

  • Thank you hackers. Now I get to sit on my ass waiting for updates more often.

  • Ok so im not going to blame sony for updating the system, but i do have a limited internet, and 5-700 MBs, which btw this update is turning out to be, is not small. an average update for ANYTHING is normally 1-100 MB’s, quit trying to act like this is a no biggie skimpy little update

  • modders have already decompiled the update and added the new codes to their database, alls sony has managed is to brick a few peoples consoles, annoy a load of whiners with a slow update.

    & for those of you who think geohot is so insignificant then why are sony crapping themselves enough to fail at suing him?

  • Guess I try downloading the hack and do the update mybe it will dot it better and recover my system that sonys junk seemed to kill it finally can get it to boot up agian after pressing holding the key for the beep sesion more than a dozen times hell I just hack it it more secure and safer for the system

  • 1st Try:38%
    2nd Try:68%(and joing)
    wait installing yayyy!!!!

  • If only sony would take the hint from the overwhelmingly negative ratings & masses of concerts their own customers show over these constant firmware downgrades. but instead we get constant trolling and bashing from the very people who’s salaries we pay.

    Take the hint, We paid for our Playstations and the software to run on it LEGALLY. This is is where it stops being YOURS and is now OURS. This gives you sony no legal right to constantly remove features we paid for for your own benefit. If you genuinely cared to service your customers in a legitmate legal manner you wouldn’t have these problems. Nor would you have your well deserved and very negative reputation. This should be something to consider if you want repeat sales of the next generation if indeed there is one.

  • I HATE HACKERS!
    BAN THEM ALL
    those freakin losers

  • Sony i wish you guys were aggressive bringing new features to PSN/XMB like these security updates.I understand the importance of security but its like you guys are ignoring everything else that WE THE PLAYSTATION COMMUNITY ASK FOR!

  • going not joing wow

  • Im not sure what you mean by treyarch isn’t doing anything to stop hackers on black ops, but you are mistaken just today alone 5of my friends got their acc banned for hacking to 15th prestige. another one of my friends hacked his second acc ofter being banned on the first one and within 10-15mins that acc was banned/no longer allowed to play/connect to blacks ops servers. So its not treyarchs fault for the hacking it is sonys. you cant blame treyarch for sonys weak ps3 security encryptions and failing to keep their keys secure and away from public. So thank treyarch, and hope sony gets their stuff together, im not so sure sony knows what they are doing in this trial with GeoHotz thank god they postponed.

  • And oddly enough, it seems like the only ones complaining it locking up are the ones also complaining about the stealing or modding. Got something you wanna’ get off your chest??

  • I say the more security the better. I have not played mw2 just because of the hacking that is going on.

  • Completed…..long and painful journey

  • its just homebrew so what? i understand the piracy fully but a snes on my ps3 playing chrono trigger is fine smh

  • @313: 3.56 has been dumped and decrypted already. The keys to decrypt everything are all over the internet. They can’t even switch the keys since it would lock out all legitimate content made before the change. SONY should start using CD keys instead of wasting time trying to patch the OS.

  • “when will we get a patch that gives us some new features…”

    Answer: once the PS4 comes out. Face it kiddies, PS3 development is over and done with. You want new features? Cross your fingers that the features you want end up in Sony’s next console. It’s all patch jobs from here on out.

  • 50% 50 minutes have one of the first ones out.

  • Started update at 10pm eastern, it is now 10:47pm and im at 60%

  • Real shame this latest security patch is already cracked……..Took what? Less than an hour or so?

    These patches really dont mean much if theyre cracked in short order since the main root keys cannot be fixed…. at least not yet (leaving a very very slim chance open that these can be fixed/overhauled without rendering hardware useless making it unplayable)

  • What the hell Sony, why cant you just go onto your grief report page and ban all the people who are being reported, its a lot easier and it wont affect the other people who don’t hack

  • finally after 6 attempts it worked…superfast after 60%!

  • why is the new update is taking so long

  • @yellowdart46

    mw2 hacks were around way before the ps3 was hacked….

    -Yeah, most places like EA, Activision, bungie etc will shut you down asap for hacking and modding. But that isn’t the systems servers, that is all theirs and they just know what to look for in the code that doesn’t match up. I have been kicked out of halo 2 I don’t know how many times and banned lol not a big deal anymore

  • The great news is that this update will immunize us against being sued by sony for criminal trespassing upon our own hardware. Thanks a lot!

  • fallen: Actually all Cods on all systems get heavily hacked because they are crappy games that get released every 7 months

  • ok so i downloaded this update than my screen went black and now nothings happening… ive never hacked my system. i wouldnt even know where to start. anyone else have this or can help me….

  • I do know that if u download the stupid update and u want to play cod black ops there is another update for that as well been workin on mine for about an hr now

  • i paid £425 for my console and a further £100+ to fix it when sony [DELETED] it with a [DELETED] update, i think i can do WHATEVER i want with MY console.

  • Sony you should put your update in your web to download it fast.

  • @warbreaker89

    but not as rampant as they are now.

  • hahahahahah galera dps do 59% vai bem + rápido …. acabou já dps de mtas tentativas !
