Sony has just found a method to play with you poor gamers that can’t afford original games. This is not new thought, as we’ve seen a few developers doing similar practice. As MCV reports, anyone buying Electronic Arts’ new “Medal of Honor” game will first have to update their PS3 to the latest 3.50 firmware (conveniently provided on the disc) before playing — that firmware also, of course, has the convenient side effect of blocking the ability to jailbreak the console. No word on any other games that will follow suit, but we have sneaking suspicion that this is something PS3 users will have to get used to. It’s either you buy original, or you wait for jailbreak of 3.50 firmware, and feel slowpoke to play Medal of Honor a year later.
