Looks like Sony has caught up with hackers still accessing PSN without updating through the server bypass method. After turning on my PS3 at 18:30GMT today, I can not login to PSN without updating, therefore Sony has now fixed the bypass method that was being used previously. Sony is now forcing me to to either update my PS3 with there buggy (for some users) firmware update or not play online... thanks Sony for the choice, at least your competitors dont act this way, at least with Apple and Microsoft I always get a choice.
