Surprise PS3 update shocks fans - but it probably shouldn't
Improved system performance is here again

It is 2023 and Sony just put out a new system update for the PlayStation 3. You might be surprised to learn that. You might also be surprised to l𓃲earn that new PS3 updates have been coming out at least once 🍃a year for the nearly two decades that the system has been around.
PS3 firmware version 4.90 landed earlier today, with one, tiny : "This system software update improves system performance." The PS3 has been getting updates with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:similarly unhelpful patch notes annually for years, with only a handful of more substantial notes in that timeframe. Perhaps the biggest was the 4.89 update last year, which disabled PSN account creation on PS3, and r🐠equired you to create a "device password" in order to sign in with your account on the old c꧒onsole.
in order to play Blu-ray movie discs, so if you don't keep your system up to date, you won't be able to keep playing new Blu-rays on the console.The other effect is that these updates tend to break custom firmware installations. The to figure out the extent of the technical changes made in this update and what it'll take to get unofficial system software working again, and there's no clear ETA on when the homebrew devs will be able to make their updates. There are different types of cust♈om firmware that make differen൩t levels of changes to the PS3 system, and those will likely get updated at different intervals.
For now, just update your PS3 if you're running official software, keep it dℱisconnected if you've jailbroken the console, and ignore all this if you're a normal person (unlike me) who doesn't keep two-decade-old consoles hooked up. In all cases, don't be surprised when we get another sudden PS3 system update next year.
Us PS3-keeping sickos will just get to continue enjoying the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best PS3 games of all time.
