Probably just SAID they did.

@OP - Just upgrade to whatever firmware comes with GTAIV. We're still SO far away from having a hacked firmware that, by the time it comes out, it won't matter which firmware you have anyway.

This really isn't something they're going to have all figured-out by next-week... or next month. Think more along the lines of the summer after next... or 2010.

I would think that the PS3's use as an actual gaming system and bluray player would mitigate any concerns of sticking with 2.10 "just in case."

LOL your really on a rant. Also, to OP there isn't anyway to bypass that update. Also, don't listen to this guy. He has no idea what he's talking about. The ps3 could be hacked tomorrow or even in the next 100 years. No one knows yet. But with the debug I see the ps3 being cracked sooner rather than later.
