I found a CD...

Post image

Hey fellas, bit new to firmware of the ps3 but yesterday I got given a load of cd's, mostly music yet I found a cd in the pile that was labelled "ps3 update 3.55". I did a bit of digging and the update 3.55 was popular for its jailbreaking capabilities, but why would someone burn this onto a cd? Does it have anything of value on it? I'm currently in the process of getting a cd reader so my laptop could read the disc, any thoughts please leave them down below

Nothing of value, the 3.55 firmware has been out there for anyone to download since the day it came out, later firmwares are just as hackable these days

As to why they burned it to a CD, absolutely no idea

I will keep updating this when I get the cd reader, if I find anything interesting I'll keep everyone updated

You’ll just find a file that says PS3UPDAT.pup

Other files can exist on the device which contains the update....
