Interactive Display Unit (IDU)[edit | edit source]
IDU stands for Interactive Display Unit. The Playstation 3 consoles displayed in Walmart stores are different from consumer units; They are unable to play some consumer software and have a built in demonstration mode which requires a password to access the important features. When a Firmware update is being performed, the disk and instructions will read “PS3 IDU v. xxx” along with the date of the update. Note: All interactives must be a IDU console! If it is not: 1) Get with the D5 manager and try to find the store's IDU console, 2) If it can not be found call the Tech Line to order a replacement and report it lost or stolen.
A plain retail unit, optionally in kiosk enclosure, running Shop/SEX firmware (a Playstation Update Package (PUP) with Promo_flags.txt set accordingly)
Demonstration Mode[edit | edit source]
Demostration mode is exclusive to PS3 IDUs. When the console is placed in Demonstration Mode, many of the settings functions on the XMB are locked out, for instance you are unable to delete movies and games, turn off the console in the PS Button menu, and reformatting the hard drive. To perform any firmware update, or install any package files, the PS3 has to be taken out of demo mode. The instructions included with the IDU update disc will walk you through the process of unlocking the console. It is important to always put the console back into Demonstration Mode after any update. If “Playstation 3 Demonstration Mode ver. xxx” is not displayed in the bottom right of the XMB screen, the console is not in Demonstration Mode. To place the console in Demo Mode you can restart the console using the touch sensitive button on the front of the console.
IDU Update Disc[edit | edit source]
The IDU update disc is used to install the new firmware and package files on the IDU PS3s. Instructions are sent with the IDU disc, providing step by step instructions of how to complete the installation. It is very important to follow the directions as they are written, and to check the date listed on the IDU update disc.
As the IDU disks are pressed BDROMs, they comply to Basic Bluray disc authentication procedure, with its content on it as discbound+signed by Sony themselves, it does not error out with 0x80029564 - SCE_NP_DRM_INSTALL_ERROR_CHECK, like those NP retail packages would that are not started from pressed BD or using ODE, even when those are signed by Sony themselves.
IDU discs contains an HDD backup, and a firmware update
