Wasn't interested in the Hacking my PS4 until after this update. Worth not updating my console?
Sounds like people are making progress on 4.50+.

Stay on lower FW as much as possible as you can. Only the developer will say you can go ahead or not. We have a 2.57 since 2 years now. And we refused to update it. :)

Hey guys, it seems like Im finally hitting the PS4 train.
I'll be buying Slim, so I was wondering should I be careful which FW is it on?
And should I update? (is it possible to access PSN store without updating ?)

Unless you want homebrew and cheats, PS3 games are so cheap nowdays it's not even worth the wait. I paid like 5 dollars for Ni No Kuni and 2 dollars for Twisted Metal lol.

In general lower the firmware the better of course. Qwertyoruiop seems to think he can break (or has broken) 4.55 but he might not even release.

I'm still on 4.50 on the main PS4, and have a spare 1.52 fw system sitting new in box... just waiting for some homebrew goodness.

Holy crap just realized I misread this is PS4 hax not PS3, which I thought a new exploit has been discovered for.

My bad, totally worth it.

Personally I doubt he will ever release, but then I'm not too sure why he tweets about it constantly. It's not really "security research" if you never disclose to anyone else. No point disclosing to Sony after they have already patched it.

I'm still wondering this too, I'm on 3.11 but since the exploits were discovered on 4.55 I want to update so I can download some games.

    Hey, I bought a modchip today and it says "New 2040plus" in the top left corner. Is this a legit chip or was I scammed?

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 really has no titles worth going online over nps is the only reason you'd want wifi
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    what is nps?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, what about GTA v onl... O Yea the PS3 versión got discontinued
