139w ago - According to PSGroove (linked above) and
DJLO at
PSX-Scene, F1 2010 is the first PS3 Game to require updating to PlayStation 3 Firmware version 3.42 which
blocks both PSJailBreak and the
PS3 Proxy Methods.
I was on IRC and the news broke, apparently it requires you to update and if you cancel, it takes you back to the PS3 XMB. The war has just began and Sony made the first move: User 0 vs Sony 1.
For those curious about other PS3 game compatibility with PSJailBreak, PSGroove and PSFreedom be sure to check out the
PS3 JailBreak Game Compatibility List and add to it if possible.
To quote: "If you ignore the game's warnings, it throws you back to the XMB. Technically this should just require some editing to the PARAM.SFO's version, in order to get the game to boot on 3.41. However, time will tell."
nice...
Thread Closed,

I m using external hdd and my param file was 3.41. Strange.
That's close. There is a minimum firmware version for every game, and usually it can be up to 6 months behind whatever the most recent firmware release is. If you put a game in a debug console and run the check process in it you will see the actuall SDK they compiled the game with. That's the real minimum version needed for a game. When a disc goes gold Sony puts on the latest firmware version release like you said.
The reason that this happens is because each new SDK version can introduce bugs into the game so Sony (as well as Microsoft) allow the developers to use older SDK's for release games (but there is a still a minimum version required and it's something like 6 months).
That gap though is closing fast though. In six months the trick of modifing the param.SFO will no longer work.
