Sony has officially released a new firmware update for PS3, version 3.42, which seems to only include "additional security features" as explained by Sony's director of hardware marketing John Koller in the official announcement on the PlayStation Blog.
As rumored and then confirmed by Eurogamer, this firmware update's intention was to stop the much-discussed "PSJailbreak" exploit -- in which users used a USB dongle to "fool" a system into thinking it is a debug unit, allowing installation of "unsigned code " (the expectation being pirate games) on the system.
Users who wish to continue to connect to PlayStation Network are required to upgrade to 3.42, but Eurogamer's Rich Leadbetter claims that "people who have the Jailbreak are sticking to 3.41 and using a proxy server bypass to remain online."
I guess I could get it, since I cannot get my PS3 online right now.
