You are right....Sony did not require you to upgrade to the latest firmware. However, Sony had a number of DRM restrictions that would essentially force you to upgrade. 1.) It will be impossible to play PS3 games online. 2.) It will be impossible to play new PS3 games 3.) It will be impossible to watch new Blu-ray movies 4.) New Blu-ray discs could even disable the Blu-ray drive entirely if they contain an AACS Host Revocation LIst that affects the old firmware version. 5.) Videos on DTCP-IP media servers will be disabled. |
For the 13 persons in the world that actually used it, that's really unfortunate that this feature had to be removed. But Sony had to remove it to make the platform more secure. A barely used feature got axed for the greater good.
Of course, You with your blatant agenda will keep beating that dead horse six feat under, but what can we do... -__-
