Firmware Updates \ FORCED to do a firmware update? Not Fair!

klue says:

Just need to rant: I HATE how I am forced update to 1.81 if I want to get onto the PSN Store at the moment...

I don't use HDMI cables, or PS2 network games so I get NO benefit from upgrading to 1.81, just a large chunk out of my monthly download limit...

Stupid Sony

Telstra Broadband = 100% not reccomended. I rang them up bout issues with connecting to these sites and i could not understand a word.

They said "Ok check your network settings... Its umm... ummm...."

Me: " 'ipconfig' in cmd? "
Them: " Oh yeah thats right"

Totally hopless internet too.

Back to 'forced updates', i actually updated to 3.03 and was extremely eagar to get a downgrader.. Then started a 2 month quest for GTA:LCS unpatched

longarms says:

repopulate says:

Its actually a funny story on how i got it .

I was in hurstville looking around for a copy, found one that was unpatched. Kept it on the counter and told the dude i would be back just getting money. Then someone else came and was looking at it and i was like oh noes dont get it! Luckily the guy didnt sell it to him

If you have nothing to hide then why not updated? Updates are there to keep the ps3 working like it should and maybe on day an update will let me change to backgroud pic to what i want.

sony r stupid because they force u to upgrade your console to it's best? yeah mate, how heartless of them. i dont say anything wrong with waiting for a period of time 4 my machine to upgrade to it's best. it's called patience, most of us possess it.

hammy360 says:

Just like the updates on my 360. I take them as nothing to hide as most 360's have a not just right mod installed and users are worried that the update will ban them. My 360 is still going live without being banned and it has a little mod installed so lucky me.
