Well I believe Novasonic is wrong about the forced firmware I can't remember a single game that has forced me to get the latest firmware, what certain games actually DO is update some of the BIOs to support certain functions but while they do this it also checks for homebrew BIOs and disables and replaces them with the original files.

Yeah some discs include the firmware they need to be able to play, it also say so on the PS website on the FW update section, and btw, you can still use a portable HDD, file transferin was NOT disabled

Really?  My PS3 won't detect my files anymore... that sounds like an issue with my PS3...
