PS3 Updated To Firmware 3.56

If you’ve logged in to the PlayStation Network in the past couple of hours, you may have noticed that a new firmware update has went live.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it adds anything nifty as the PlayStation Blog is just calling it “a minor update that adds a security patch.”  It’ll be interesting to see if this plugs any holes that hackers have created in the PS3’s armor.

Update: Word is reaching us that the encryption key for the new firmware is already out there and available to wily pirates. Back to the drawing board it seems.

  1. Sony should start sending out ninja hacker assasins and destroy these b******s!

  2. looks as though the store is now screwed…not sure if it’s related to this update or maintenance though…anyone else having problems? it’s the UK store, it just goes to a black screen then loads the background image you have on your xmb.
