PS3 system update released, 'improves stability'

4.2
Sony's North American arm has released PS3 system software update 4.65.

The company calls it "a minor optional update that improves stability during the use of some features".

Over the weekend, PlayStation Network was disabled for the better part of a day as a result of a Distributed Denial of Service attack.

Sony has since moved to reassure users that it found no evidence of unauthorised access to personal information following the attack.

PS3 launched in Japan and the US in November 2006 and in Europe in March 2007. Worldwide PS3 sales to retailers had cleared 80 million units as of November 2013.

Sony will cut the PS3 price in Japan this Thursday August 28, when it will discontinue all existing hardware models and launch a new one called CECH-4300C.

A representative for PlayStation's European arm told CVG this month that the PS3 price cut is Japan specific and the company has nothing to announce regarding any similar plans.

Is it mandatory or optional?

Wonder what those features are exactly.

Glad it was optional, with that good old "system stability improvement" blocking my beloved ODDE and all.

Glad to see them updating the old-good consoles. Xbox 360 and PS3 will always be the time favorites.

Probably not. They are doing this for the sole reason that they do not like Sony or the PlayStation as a console. They are being pretty childish if you ask me.


That is an incredibly stupid reason to attack Sony, i hate Sony as much as the next PC fan boy, but i don't think Sony deserves this.

No, AR15 is wrong. The people doing this claimed in a tweet that was also shown on another TTG forum about the attacks that they're attacking companies who don't put money into secruing their networks and they're attacking them to show them how weak they are.

It's nothing to do about if they like Sony or not. They've even attacked Blizzard, LoL, Runescape, Xbox etc.

Why don't they go down to Sony and demonstrate the flaw so Sony can fix it without affecting their customers. I believe Facebook will pay you if you can demonstrate a way of hacking them.


Yeah because if you walk into a company with that level of skill your going to near see the light of day. You would disappear. People like Lizard squad only exist to complete a task. I believe they are trying to improve the internet in their own way.
