3.56-1 CEX

Released: January 26, 2011

Changes

System changes

• System security has been improved, blocking the ability to run unauthorized software.
• Added an Ipla TV channel under [TV] for Poland.
• Downloaded demos are no longer collapsed in a folder.

System changes (reissued version)

• Initially caused issues (like in 3.41) when upgrading the hard disk with this firmware on some systems. A semi-fix has been published. Fix will only work if user still has the original unformatted hard drive. Users who don't have the old hard drive or have formatted it are not able to install system software.

Warning Note

First released, but after users experience problems with exchanging their harddrive when this firmware was installed, it was silently replaced by a fixed 2nd release to address the issue. However, if users had formatted the old drive with the 3.561st firmware on it, even the second silent release could not fix the issue, leaving users in dispair at the playstation board, filing lawsuit/complaints and seeking damages compensation, sending their console in for repair by Sony. Just another fine example how good Sony treats its customers: NOT!
