Some people speculate that the PS3 3.42 update might be a response to the jailbreak tool that made headlines recently. The tool shocked a lot of people as Sony had always played a lot of resources into keeping the PlayStation hack-proof.
The PS3 jailbreak tool enables users to put games directly onto the hard drive with the use of a USB device. Now Sony has issued the mandatory firmware update 3.42 which of course a lot of people suspected would be coming. It’s only a short while since the release of 3.41 and according to Joshua Harris over on World Gaming Network, the new firmware removes the ability to use these jailbreaking devices.
