Sony Releases PS3 3.61 Update Ahead of PSN's Imminent Return

Posted by timothy on from the but-methadone's-pretty-good-too dept.

Sonny Yatsen writes "Sony has released the PS3 3.61 firmware update as a part of the phased return of the Playstation Network and Qriocity. The new update now requires all PSN users to change their passwords in order to sign back into the PSN service." And several readers are pointing to reports that the network is slowly being spun up. Snips one anonymous submitter: "Sony Japan told customers today that it would begin phased restoration of its services of its beleaguered Playstation Network which has been suffering from an outage for nearly a month. The company would start bringing back its gaming network this Sunday, on a country-by-country basis, and expects it to be completed by May 31."

    I would bet big that Nintendo's new system will not include optional Linux. No one will be touching that feature in a long time.

  2. Lesson Learned by ZombieBraintrust · · Score: 0, Troll
    Lessons companies will learn:

    1) Do not offer Linux.

    2) Spend more money on security.

    3) Have a simpler system with fewer features

    4) Lie about security breaches. Never tell the customer they happen.

    Because locking down the bootloader and removing OtherOS is just like apartheid.

    Seriously. Get some perspective.
