What, are you asking for proof that you need it?

It even says it's comes on the disc there

Like an official Sony statement or at least, a youtube video showing the removal of "other OS" in order to play an offline regular game. When Sony blog said:

  • Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat
  • Playback of PS3 software titles or Blu-ray Disc videos that require PS3 system software version 3.21 or later
  • Playback of copyright-protected videos that are stored on a media server (when DTCP-IP is enabled under Settings)
  • Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later

Are they not only new games that use new hardware, like move game? Why would Red Dead Redemption have a mandatory offline firmware upgrade? On disc maybe, but offline mandatory, why? Of course if you want to use online or play a game with new hardware (ie Move),  it will requires firmware update.

I do reiterate that, if there was proof, the judge missed the point completely. He specifically say in his judgement that Sony is removing PSN, not the ability to play new regular PS3 games.

 

The source you posted about mandatory red dead redemption update is "xdarkmagician".

"Thanks, xdarkmagician."
