Sony just mentioned on its official PlayStation blog that the PS3 is about to get a "minor" update, v3.56. With Sony about to host a press event in Tokyo, it would be nice if we were getting some new functionality for our update timeout, but apparently all it adds is a security patch (just like 3.55), and for some reason we get the impression that this "security patch" is less about defense against baddies and more about trying to shore up the PS3 jailbreak that's currently running rampant. Of course, there are some serious security concerns when it comes to jailbroken PS3s, like the fact that they allow some serious cheating in select multiplayer games, so a truly competent, non-user-hostile security patch wouldn't be all bad. We guess we'll see what we get when the update lands, presumably later today.

Update: That didn't take long. It's out -- and members of the PS3 hack community already allege that it breaks custom firmware.

Well is pretty obvious that they are going to release an update for this and will keep releasing update as long as the jailbreak keeps going on
 
DO NOT UPDATE! It will brick your ps3 if you are already using a cfw, if you want to update it go to 3.55 OFW then to 3.65 OFw and then back to CFW.
If you want to log into PSN without updating use this dns address on your network connection:
67.202.81.137

Worked for me,
also I don't have CFW yet, I will wait a while and see if sony starts banning.
 
I am yet to "hack" my PS3. I don't really game on it a whole lot though, just the occasional decent title. But I'll avoid any updates just in case.

TVersity is my main use, by far!
