Great news all, sony release 3.56 and word on the street is it will be some time before hackers are able to circumvent the added security. 
 
here's hoping sony removes all cheated trophies and bans mac addresses of people who installed any type of cfw

I don't understand why you are all so upset about trophies...

Great! Now I can spend time updating my PS3 when I go home this weekend!  
 
While I may be kidding, it's only a matter of time before the hackers get around this. 'Tis quite sad. 

It will be some time, as in like a day.

The update doesn't seem to be working at the moment. It froze for me at 17% and other people are experiencing the same thing.

This is a fight Sony can't win. I don't envy them having to ship out updates now like every 2 weeks or something to keep down the piracy.

This isn't going to do anything. If they can crack the key code that the PS3 uses for everything, they can crack a mere update.

yup. someone, somewhere... I'm pretty sure have figured a hack almost simultaneously.....

Can't we stop talking about how the "hackers" will be upset? The threads always turn out the same. Hackers gonna hack, Sony gonna do something eventually. It'll be a big deal when they figure out how to start banning people.

Who the fuck cares about trophies that much?

cool. i haven't played my ps3 since the weekend. so i'll have to update it some time soon. i've been playing forza 3 all this time.

Dude, word is out that they have already cracked it.

" Dude, word is out that they have already cracked it. "

Wow, less than 24 hours then.  
 
These hackers must really be bored. 

Redirecting the update request to a non-Sony DNS isn't really hacking, and it existed even before the update was out. So yeah. Pointless update so far, and 3.56CFW should be released within the next two days.

looks like there was More security features in 3.56.   atleast they added more then just changing the Key.   I guess this will make it easy to detect homebew and stuff and heep it off PSN. 
 
its only a metter of time now before ban hammers start dropping and the offical playstation forums flood with threads from people who "lent there ps3 to a freind last week and now cant connect to PSN.  WTF SONY FIX THIS SHIT".

a lot of COD:BO players got banned so it did some good.

Being a hacker really needs a better career path, that leads to jobs where they use their skill to stop hacking. 

doesn't take long does it? when you know what you're doing.

sigh looks like I'll never see a hacker free BLOPS lobby ever again.

Trophies are poorly implemented to the PS3 system and online, who gives a fuck if somebody cheats them. 
 
Does anybody even compare trophies with their friends? Waiting for trophy sync operation...zzz!

Yeah, I think we can look forward to more frequent system updates thanks to these hackers.  Hurray! "

Sadly, the hackers will always find a way.  To be honest, I'm surprised it took this long.

Hackers don't really get upset when some new firmware comes out to stop them. If anything they enjoy these things from Sony because it gives them a new challenge and they race amongst themselves to break it as quickly as possible.

Fucking hackers...

" Fucking hackers... "

I don't play online anyways. So I'm sticking with 3.55 so I can have my CFW.

As an actual "hacker" (as in, somebody who works on these hacked consoles, not just a user who downloads them off a website and says "LOL I IZ HACKA!"), this firmware update isn't a big concern. If you've been observing the hacking community for some time, you know that staying offline after each patch is important, just like how for pirates, pirating a game that just came out and then playing it is incredibly dangerous, as the wave may have been updated or such. 
 
Give it some time, and we'll have an update available. All that's needed to circumvent this new update from Sony is a way to feed the PS3 false information. 
 
Also, I'd like to correct some of the users here, since they seem to have a rather ignorant opinion on hackers: 
Hacking allows us to install Linux, like we were allowed too back when the PS3 came out. It allows us to customize the PS3 how we want, allows us to watch movies in formats not supported (see: MKV for my anime), etc. The general hacker is NOT FUCKING WITH GAMES. You're doing what Fox News does when it claims all Muslims are evil because the extremists want to hurt people. You and I both know that this is not the case.
