    Do they still make money of it or was the security hole easy enough to fix, that they paid a few engineer hours from pocket money, just for the fuck you?

      Don’t think that there was ever a security hole. I wouldnt consider installing alt firmware to be a security hole

      Per the patch notes: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/hardware/ps3/system-software/

      "By updating, you can enjoy additional features, improved usability, and enhanced security.

      Please note, to play Blu-ray discs, your PS3 system needs a renewed Blu-ray player encryption key. Please update your PS3 system software to the latest version to renew the Blu-ray player encryption key."

      I havent actually tried to watch a bluray on custom firmware since, but I’m a weirdo who uses it for playing games so that doesnt matter to me.

      I dont see any money being made on the ps3
