• PS3 FW 4.20 Released

    PS3 Hacks , 26.06.2012

    The latest PS3 firmware is out by Sony, bringing the version to 4.20.

    To quote:

    Tomorrow we will be releasing a new system software update (v4.20) for PlayStation 3 which will include a few minor updates in order to strengthen functionality and improve your overall experience.

    As mentioned in our previous blog post, system software update (v4.10) added a feature that enabled you to hear your own voice through the Wireless Stereo Headset when playing multiplayer modes. This type of audio feedback is known as “sidetone.” Based on your comments, system software update (v4.20) will improve sidetone audio performance by giving you the option to select one out of five levels for microphone audio, or turn the feature off completely. For those of you who use the Wireless Stereo Headset to watch Blu-ray or DVD movies on your PS3, this system software update will also enable virtual surround sound functionality, giving you a superior audio experience.

    This update will also allow you to set the amount of time that the system will wait before turning itself off automatically for [Video/TV/Music/Photo] and for [Game/Other Features].

    Additionally, saved data management has been improved. You will now be able to select multiple saved data items and delete or copy them as a group.

    More details will be available here tomorrow once the system software update is live.

      Probably not. Unless you use a proxy/bypass, that method no longer works.

      I have rebug 3.55.2 u7 and can confirm that PSN access is no more since yesterday.
      I also have a legit PS3 on 4.11 and it also asks for an update on that one (even using PSNDM, which has previously allowed me to stay on previous FW versions when not using it asks me to), so I don't know how f**kPSN is able to bypass this

      In the other thread, other forum members have said it still works, also the passprase hasn't changed, so there is no reason for it not to work, there is another method which i am going to front page, PSN still works for 3.55 users, but not for much longer

      I can confirm that I can connect to PSN from 4.11 bypassing the 4.20 update with Privoxy.
