there is no 3.0 firmware yet

[NoQuarter]

Well Andrew24 how about letting us know what your uncle and his coworkers think about hombrew for the psp.

[juggaleaux]

From what I've seen so far in Sony's firmware updates, as well as other application versions, numbering goes like this:

+ .01 = minor "under the hood" update such as security exploit fix

+ .10 = a few addons such as a new playable media format, etc.

+ .50 = huge update like the one from 1.50 to 2.00, or the difference between 2.00 and 2.50

Sony would not skip a milestone number like 3.00. That just isn't done.

cool hey try to get ur uncle to get the software to digitally sign eboot's

that would be awesome

i cant. he would probalby lose his job. and i never said the next firmware was going to be 3.0 i said when it comes out there will be an immediate update to 3.1

Why not put all the planned 3.1 stuff in the 3.0 release?

im sorry but u have the 3rd one wrong
+ 1.00 = huge update like the one from 1.50 to 2.00, or the difference between 2.00 and 2.50

dont forget about the firmware 2.10 idk why they went from 2.10 to 2.50 also idk why they just dont add the new stuff in the 3.00. but my bet is that they want to make more people update for a small problem. also i talked to my uncle about homebrew and he said. "if the people who make the homebrew joined sony that would make the psp better for everyone" but i strongly dissagree with that. if s joined sony. all hell would bread loose. i dont even think he is telling me the truth. idk if he is allowed to tell me that or not but ill take his word 4 it.

um. not to flame, but 2.00 - 1.50 = 0.50 and 2.50 - 2.00 = 0.50. Your math is a bit fuzzy.

dont forget about the firmware 2.10 idk why they went from 2.10 to 2.50

There was no 2.10, there was a 2.01 and it was a security fix, which fixed the tiff exploit allowing people to downgrade to 1.50. The reason they jumped to 2.50 is that there were a ton of new features, which is why they jumped to the next .50/.00 version number.

also i talked to my uncle about homebrew and he said. "if the people who make the homebrew joined sony that would make the psp better for everyone" but i strongly dissagree with that.

He means that he is impressed by the scene's ability to break their security and interpret their code. Workers with those skills would benefit SONY to come up with new features and products. I hate SONY as much as the next guy, but that's likely what he means.

[andrew24]

true. but i still think it would b a bad idea. i meant when a brant new thing comes like the web browser did the number automaticly jumped 1 number. sure its still +.50 but i ment a whole new number. srry.

[ACID]

why all the fuss about a number it doesnt matter an update is an update. Hopefully is something that can be breaked

[andrew24]

u r right

[Cap'n 1time]

oh yeah?! well my dad is a police man! my dad can beat up your dad...

but seriously, we will have to wait and see whats up sony's sleeves for the planned 3.00... I mean 3.10 update.
