Sony is cracking down on their system. They began by making sure that the “other OS” feature was removed, and subsequently made sure that jailbreaking or hacking your PS3 was not only frowned upon, but out-right disabled. And now it seems that Sony is cracking down on counterfeit controllers. While it hasn’t been out-right confirmed that this firmware update specifically is designed to do just that, Sony has said (coincidentally enough, on the same day that the v3.50 update was released) on their blog, that subsequent firmware updates would mean that those counterfeit controllers, as well as some other hardware devices, would no longer be compatible with the console.
If you have a third-party controller that’s been officially licensed by Sony, then there doesn’t seem to be any problems. However, several PS3 owners are reporting that peripherals like the Yobo PS3 Joybox, the XCM Cross Battle Plus Adapter, and the USB controller SplitFish FragFX are losing their compatibility, too. And SCEA has been busy informing those that the company “does not support continued functionality of unlicensed controllers.” Are you having your own problems with the v3.50 firmware update? Let us know in the comments.
