The japanese had it earlier today and now the UK has the new firmware with one new thing:
Security
A patch has been added to address security vulnerability in the system software.
Any bets its to do with the Lumines hack from a few days back. :D
Needless to say anyone who wants homebrew on their PSPs dont touch it with a bargepole.
More Info
lol, Sony is just to funny for me to take them seriously anymore.
the downgrader was on g4 lol
the downgrader was on g4 lol
$ony has updated the firmware to show the software companies that they are trying something to stop piracy!!! They don`t care as long as the psp console sells $$$$$$
Firmware version 3.51, hmmm.... well if it's just a security patch for 3.50, the it's almost like the 1.51 one that patched the KXploit in 1.50.
Are you serious? What show? Or did they write about it on their website somewhere? Does anyone know of any other media attention the new downgrader has received? I like collecting articles and publicity regarding PSP homebrew. Its a constant reminder of how much of an impact the PSP homebrew community has and how big we have become.Quote:

so is that it just a security update well i think sony is starting to slip
For the ones who needs to get everything in with a Tea Spoon, Do not update!!
and for the newbies who reads this Post!!
nothing good with this Firmware right now!!
can't be Downgraded, and as for my self, now I have to shut up, because I talk to much!
i downgraded my friends 3.50 yesterday so im glad he didnt find this because he gave me 20 bucks for "hacking his psp" lol
seriously nothing more added then security?
i know they don't want there stuff pirated but come on there is no better reason to own a psp than homebrew.
I'm buying a PSP next week friday ( WOOT) I was wondering do you think Sony would have got the dreaded 1.5 PSP's in Argos and other high street stores by then.
I'm in the UK BTW so things don't move as fast as they would in the US.
Hey dude, wot did ya mean by 'dreaded 1.5 psp's'? 1.5 psp's are the best place to start for hombrew :thumbup: . Anyways incase u were actually asking if the 3.51 (No HB) psp's would be in then, no its very unlikely - my friend bought a brand new one from Gamestation 3 days ago, FW was 3.03!! (HB Able)Quote:

Thanx for the info tho.
I think by now it's clear sony will never win in trying to stop homebrew or/and piracy.
Think of all those psps that have been upto now, all of which can be downgraded.
I laugh at you sony!!!!! Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Hmm.... just a tad off-topic... I remember they also showed the 2.0 downgrader on G4... they actually downgraded the PSP live on the show, if I can remember correctly.
Wow, those were days ago... when the 2.0 downgrader created so much hype... I think it was actually the first successful downgrader on a PSP ever.
Now, we are in the future, with Sony working their brains out trying to put a stop to the constant downgraders since then.
Sony will never suceed, this is like the Dreamcast, and SEGA trying to stop Piracy and homebrew except EU never got the fix :)Quote:

I doubt they will though.
If they don't we can just point and laugh
perhaps we shouldn't publisize it so massively like "OMG LUMINNNES !!!111111!! THAT IS HOW YOU DO THE HACK" and just leave the instructions in the downgrader, therefore making it that little bit harder to find out where the exploit is and delaying annyoing patches like this
YES!! 3.51, W00T! Thanks sony, dling now!
/sarcasm
notice: all the psps that are in stores where i live are 2.71 psp. i dont think they are going to send any higher versions for a LONG TIME.Quote:

Hello. I have 3.50. Is it possible for me to downgrade to a homebrewable version?
why dont the sony prats just work with homebrew and make some cash
Because they believe they'll loose more cash in the proccess.
