Rumour: Next Firmware Will Foil PS3 Jailbreak

It appears Sony are ahead of the Jailbreakers as the rumour is the next Firmware will detect the Jailbreak USB gizmo. Apparently the following email has been sent to people who have ordered the despicable device;

“Just a friendly update email and some advice for you over the coming days and weeks.

While PS Jailbreak team have told us it should be possible to support future firmware versions on the PS3, it is not guaranteed, they will need to access any newer firmwares than 3.41 and if needed release an update for the PS Jailbreak to support the newer firmwares.

So we wanted to give you all some advice that if a system update is released for the PS3 in the coming days or before you receive your PS Jailbreak which blocks system updates, we recommend that nobody update their PS3 for the time being.

If a PS3 system update newer than 3.41 is released you should keep an eye on the PS Jailbreak website for news on compatibility with the PS Jailbreak on the new firmwares. Only update your PS3 past 3.41 firmware if the PS Jailbreak team say that it’s safe to do.”

If this true then it’s fantastic news, the USB device will be rendered pretty much useless before people even receive it as Sony can instantly ban any PS3 with the device. Of course it won’t stop people using their PlayStation consoles offline but that will be a small minority.
