A new PS3 system software update, v3.56, will be released soon. This is a minor update that adds a security patch.

The new Firmware 3.56 also kills homebrew and ban everyone using Jailbreck or cheat in PSN. Below you'll find a list of official changes Sony have announced:

  • The PS3™ system can now play 3D content on Blu-ray 3D™ discs.
  • An HD 3D display, active 3D glasses, and a high-speed HDMI cable (each sold separately) are required for 3D features. Visit www.us.playstation.com/support/3D for details.
  • Limitations on Blu-ray 3D™ disc playback
  • The 3D display of some elements such as menus and subtitles may be different on the PS3™ system than on other 3D playback devices.
  • Depending on the content, some BD-J (Blu-ray Disc™ Java*) features such as BONUSVIEW™ and BD-Live™ may not play in 3D or may not function properly on the PS3™ system.
  • When Dolby TrueHD is selected as the audio format, audio will be output in Dolby Digital during playback of Blu-ray 3D™ content.
  • When DTS-HD is selected as the audio format, audio will be output in DTS during playback of Blu-ray 3D™ content.
  • *Blu-ray Disc Java provides enhanced bonus content, including network access, picture-in-picture (PIP) functionality and expanded local storage.

I wonder what it does, I don't think it will work against current hacking method or maybe this have something to do with hackers that goes online on PSN. Anyway, good luck with that, Sony!

DL'ing it right now. I hope Sony gets it right. Cause I want them to start adding features instead of patching holes.

The worst part about hackers is that they are forcing Sony to waste time with these type of updates.

 

I need more Sony, I need more.
