Since you don't believe a credible source from a site, I doubt you'll believe me. But I didn't update between 3.15 to LBP2. And I was forced too when I put it into the PS3. I don't have broadband either |
Credible source from a site?!? The source's site is "xdarkmagician". LOL
PS3 owners clinging onto consoles running firmware earlier than 3.21 will do well to note that Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption not only requires that particular system software to run, but handily includes it on the disk for easy installation, too.
Chances are there have been other games out since April 1st that required the OtherOS removing firmware update, but Redemption is likely to be one of the higher profile titles to do, and as far as we know this isn’t stated on the box at all so consider this a notice if you’re still to pick up the game.
This means that if you want to play Red Dead Redemption and hold on to your OtherOS installation you’ll need to grab yourself another PlayStation 3.
The PlayStation Blog did warn PS3 users that this might happen in their post at the end of March – “Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later” and it really was only a matter of time before the update became compulsory.
Thanks, xdarkmagician.

Not that it matters but I'll happily borrow a friends recent PS3 game and test in mine that it does indeed not work.

I would actually trust you on the matter. And like I said, if true, the plaintiffs should either appeal or build their case correctly. The judge thought this was about removing PSN not removing the ability to play new games.
"The dismay and frustration at least some PS3 owners likely experienced when Sony made the decision to limit access to the PSN service to those who were willing to disable the Other OS feature on their machines was no doubt genuine and understandable," Seeborg said in his ruling.
"As a matter of providing customer satisfaction and building loyalty, it may have been questionable."
But "as a legal matter... plaintiffs have failed to allege facts or articulate a theory on which Sony may be held liable," he concluded.
P.S.: if you do test it, im interested in your result. Just take a regular game, not a move game and dont try the online component of the game.
