I feel like I have betrayed my hacking roots today....until today, my beloved PS3 had version 3.15 on it which contains the "Other OS" feature. I was adamant that I would NEVER upgrade. Not that I wanted to pirate PS3 games, it's was more the fact that this was MY machine and I could and would do with it as I pleased....my heavily modded Wii, Xbox 1, GameCube and PS2 are all testaments to this...but I have sinned.
I was seduced....no, hypnotized by the glitz and glamor of a game... Split/Second. I had just paid to rent the game and will probably end up buying the game and I was all giddy as I put the disc into my PS3 only to be greeted with "You must have at least firmware version 3.21 to play this game. If you do not upgrade, the game will exit." ....or something to that effect. I pondered this and eventually relented and upgraded.
I pray that the hacking gods will forgive me and that the downgrade path to hacking enlightenment will shine on me one day.
...at least I get to play the game now :)
