Sony said late Wednesday that it would soon push out a 3.56 firmware update for the PS3. The company wouldn’t give details other than that it would add a “security patch.” Most expect that it will attempt to close up the holes exposed by Geohot and fail0verflow that prompted a DMCA lawsuit.
The company has made a regular practice of pushing out minor updates in the past several months under the guise of security that have almost always been intended to patch jailbreaks.
