If I recall Blu-ray Discs themselves update the disc drive’s AACS keystore with their new keys and key blacklist when you play a movie which is why old players from as far back as 2009 still play new movies without any software updates.ĭevices who have their keys revoked no longer play any Blu-ray movie discs once you attempt to play a newer Blu-ray Disc that has that device key on it’s AACS blacklist as it will update the player drive keys and be revoked.ĮDIT: PCs on the other hand do rely on software such as PowerDVD since the software handles any AACS decryption but this is worse than PS3 since PowerDVD hides AACS key store update behind a paywall where you pay to upgrade to the new PowerDVD version.

Sony says that this new firmware serves to improve the console's system performance, but what that vague statement really means is that the PlayStation 3 got its update so that it could play the most recent Blu-ray movie discs. Just like the Nintendo 3DS did earlier this year, the PS3 has gotten an update out of nowhere, bringing the system to version number 4.87. No, you didn't accidentally wake up 10 years ago the PlayStation really did receive a brand new firmware update in the year 2020.
