No, you haven't accidentally woken up in 2007. While Sony has indeed pushed a new firmware update out for the PlayStation 3, making the 15-year-old console as stable as ever, the contents are fairly standard. The patch notes don't give any helpful clue as to the contents of the update, but given the last few PS3 firmware updates we've seen, it's likely just a Blu-Ray-related tweak. If you've still got your system hooked up, you can download the new OFW today.

I only just updated to CFW 4.89.3 Evilnat Cobra (8.4) (CEX/DEX/PEX)

 

[DinohScene]

Cinavia protection update as usual.

At least it's not denuvo

For what does Cinavia need updates? It detects infected material and that should be everything.
Luckily I've not yet encountered any of this rubbish.

It's not an antivirus, it's some DRM bullshit. Prolly new movies have newer version of the watermark and PS3 have to keep up.

I know what Cinavia is, and "infected" is the correct word for audio material degraded by this.
I've chosen to generally use that word in context of DRM because it is often the most accurate description. Didn't know that the detector needs updates. Well, fair enough then.

And rebug still hasn't updated past 4.86. did something happen to them? Did they bow out of the scene?

If I still had a working cecha unit, I wouldn't care. But since I'm down to just a slim ps3, I have to. Because if I ever have to upgrade or replace the internal hard drive on the system I need to have that update data ready.

Would it be Blu Ray movie keys too?

Just go with evilnat, it's the same if not better.

provide them the official debug firmware and they'll make it for you.

 

[ZeroT21]

More stability is always welcome

 

[DJPlace]

wow... one more USELESS update.

 

[chocoboss]

4.82 here and probable never more

 

[SylverReZ]

It's the typical "General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience" bullshit.

 

[alevan]

wow... one more USELESS update.

For you.

[SonyUSA]

I think I saw a tweet that this updates something critical too that breaks CFW... maybe I'm wrong though!

Before updating it may be a better idea to wait for Evilnat Cobra to release the 4.90 CFW

Evilnat only works on phat models and some of the earlier slims. Super-slims and later slims can't use Evilnat

I've always wondered. If standalone Blu-ray boxes can play new releases with ease, why does PS3 need these yearly Blu-ray patches?
