Hey, it's my cue to give a sitrep again.
Just now, Blue Disk posted a second announcement at duowan!
Here's my translation:
************************
To show our appreciation for everyone's enthusiasm and concern, we've decided to work with our distributor at taobao(Chinese equivalent of ebay) to bring you firmware update service at a super low price 98 RMB(around 15USD). To express our gratitude to our dear users, we've also decided to offer an upgrade from BDCFW 4.21 to BDCFW 4.25 for free.
Features of CFW 4.25:
1: Support games up to 4.25. No eboot fix is needed. Get original game backup and play right away.
2: Support PSN
3: Support internal and external HDD.
4: You can downgrade to 3.55 , or update to latest OFW in the future and then later newer CFW.(upgraded via PUP file on USB, no hardware modification)
5: No external USB device is needed to boot BDCFW 4.25
Visit our distributor's page (
http://olygame.taobao.com/) if you have any questions.

The original Chinese text of Feature 4 sounds a bit confusing to me, though.
It seems most BlueDisk related topics posted today, including this second announcement, have been removed at duowan. Hmmm....
