right this is getting silly you do not need up to dat firmware for blu-rays my bf still has the firmware that allows other os and has just bought avatar and he can still play and watch it as he did on monday, also he can still play on all of his games, the only thing he cannot do is connect to the PSN, so if the only argument they had was based on being able to play on latest blur-rays and teir current games then this is going to get thrown out of court

Because the current standard firmware isnt 3.21........eventually (sometime this year) every single new blu-ray and game release will come pre-installed with 3.21 and if you dont install it then you wont be able to play any new releases from that point on.

and inorder to play those you are required to have a compatable Firmware installed on your PS3. that's the point, they make the software consumer's get to use the software, we do not own the software on our machine's, it's been that way for over 20 year's.
