Hey all,
I'm sure most of you know that the Gran Turismo HD Demo will be going online late tonight and is only going to be available for a limited time. My question is whether it is worth it to update the PS3 in order to download this demo. I had heard of cracks and hacks coming to PS3 (somthing about the 22nd), but I havn't really seen anything yet. People are also saying that Sony is only patching things up with these updates and they don't have much to do with security. So to the advanced users, should I update for the demo or is waiting going to be worth it? Thanks

yeah upgrade hacks like downgrades will fly out after the first one

But why downgrade?!?
Previous versions are filled with bugs that can damage your console.Update it so your console gets rid of those annoying bugs.
Its not like you can play extracted ps3 games in it...yet.But a messed up console is not worth it.Thats why I lost my ps3...because of a stupid bug that suddently forgot how to detect a ps3 remote and it was no longer playable....
Upgrade!![]()

My friend you will eventually need to upgrade your PS3. It will get rid all of the bugs like my friend Ion saying.

I'm very sorry to hear that your PS3 got bugged. But, You can still replace it, right?

The psp didnt had bugs that I know of,thats why the updates werent nesesary unless you wanted to play games witch required you to upgrade.But the ps3 "needs" to be upgrated.

i have to agree with Ion. the PS3 IS too good to even bother hacking. i hacked the hell out of my PSP. why? because not only did an overwhelming majority of the games pretty much suck and have virtually no replay value, but they cost $40. hacking was the only thing that was even remotely fun, and i couldn't find one game that i would have paid $40 for just to play on a little 3 inch screen. i spent about 95% of my PSP time either hacking it or playing emulators. meanwhile, i have somewhere around 50 games for my PS2 and never even considered hacking it. why? the games are great, and i enjoy not only playing them but collecting them as well. for me its completely worth $50 to have the original DVD, case, manual, etc. of my favorite PS2 games, and it's going to be worth $60 for my favorite PS3 games. i know that's not true for everyone, but it's my opinion and i'm sticking to it.
PS not upgrading completely cripples your PS3s online gaming capabilities too, so if you dont upgrade dont even bother plugging a network cable into it.
as for the GTHD demo, i'm downloading it right now, although im not entirely sure that its a demo. i thought that the demo was japan only, and the "Gran Turismo HD Concept" thats in the store isnt listed under demos. it is 625 mb though, so we will see.
