Do you use it for Blu-rays?
Well, you can let us know if it borks it.
I play games in it
Yeah, this has been weird to me.
If it is modded you should wait for proper updates, either to HFW+Hen or CFW. Only thing you likely will be missing until the update is given is online play, if you are even risking it with the mods. Generally agreed upon thing is to wait for updates. But, if you are collecting or looking to collect 1080p blu-rays it is not a bad thing as long as the update is not hiding anything else making updating for HFW and CFW developers harder.
Blu-Rays are still alive, 4K blu-rays have been released. There was that "Sony is discontinuing blu-rays!" articles that boiled down to "Sony will stop making empty Blu-Ray discs for home burning." - Other companies might still keep at it for those who archive on writable Blu-Ray media, but no word of commercially pressed Blu-Ray Movies coming to end any time soon. DVD's are still out selling Blu-Rays though, according to some data people quote.
Then I read one of those articles and misremembered; I'll say Ithat at least here the dvd section at stores has always been way bigger than the blu ray ones and I myself own like 8 and the people I know either dont own any or just a couple
Yeah, I personally started to like discs, DVD or bluray, namely used cheap ones when I got myself a decent, used, not that high end 5.1 surround system. Discs was much easier way to find movies with surround sound tracks than most common places you get movies from the sea. I did eventually find that Russian friends are hifi-sea-men of high order so I go ask them when I want them 5.1 TV shows or movies, but will also get discs for cheap, DVD or Blueray
the new update would address that, since it's primarily a blue ray key distribution update. it also probably patches a few exploits.
PS3 does not have that many exploits known, and people basically build firmware packages that any PS3 accepts that has downgraded web browser components, unless sony somehow addresses that the one exploit to exploit them all will stay because people backport it to the newer firmware packages. The current exploit was patched already in 4.8X but well, HFW goes on.
i checked on this about a week ago, and the most i remembered was the blur ray thing. i'm used to the updates always going on about "stability and stuff". i wouldn't put it past sony to try something at this point in time, especially after i learned about the infamous "the ps3 is unhackable" thing said back when it launched.
Funniest thing being it was extremely hackable, they just software updated the one thing that kept hackers happy and content with the machine out making them interested in hacking the system, from where it was hacked slightly faster than the Wii.
you'd think at this point that they would just accept it; but that isn't going to happen.
well, it is not like they released an update that did eliminate possibility of modding unless downgraded, which was an arduous hardware nand writer process for next decade if not just slightly less, and an entire revision of PS3's that also would be unmoddable for next decade, if only slightly less. They did make mostly wins against the modding if I would look at the history, just nothing like microsoft did with 360, and then xbox one and onwads, Sony machines keep on getting hacked in one way or another, some people have PS4's, some even have a PS5 modded I think, yet xbox consoles have been unhacked for years, and 360 modding process is not a fun one.
yeah, i noticed that too. we just got an xbox emulator and the 360 compiler; but that seems to because the xboxs are basically computers, and making an emulator would be making a program that uses your computer to emulate your computer.
and yet my dumb ass is stuck with an unhackable PS3 because I needed to replace my phat and didn't read up online about the propper CFW hackability of the super slims.
