    PS3 Firmware 3.56 Causes Many to be Banned in Black Ops

    RangerXML posted up this article that is rather interesting:

    By now everyone should know about the PS3 firmware update 3.56, some more than others. Explained by Sony as a “security update” it’s effects are now being felt by accused modders and hackers. CoD: BlOps hackers are getting hit hardest with a permanent CoD console server ban – many of them have expressed their “innocence” on the Official Ps3 Cod: Black Ops Forums.

    It’s not limited to just a few. In fact, there are dozens of threads about this topic. Here are just a few of their posts:

    CaStR0_21:
    How long am I banned for?

    “This console has been permanently banned from the Black Ops servers…..”

    Does this mean forever? Or will I be unbanned after awhile?

    IssY_I :
    When i want to play black ops it says my console is banned permanently???i have payed 150$ for the Ps3 (i bought it yesterday (used) and just came home with a new copy of b-ops! but why is my system banned?

    scaryscar6:
    I dont know what happened i was just playin it normally. i installed the patch and played for a while and I went to have my shower and when i came back i was permanently banned! Somone please get me unbanned! It might of been my frineds though because i lent him my ps3 a couple of days ago because his ps3 got YLOD…

    prEston124:
    Today i got my account back finally an It wont let let me play online idk why it says prem ban i didnt do anything man i miss black ops well looks like i have to get a 360.

    Imma_Wreck_You:
    Hi i understand all of then terms and conditions of playing call of duty black ops, but my PS3 has been banned.. and i dont understand why? there a few people here who play online in this house but none of us can anymore. how can i get some help? or who do i need to contact.

    badderz1:
    Hi i have been banned for black ops when i click online it says you have been Prem banned from B.O but i didnt do anything to get banned what i did my m8 said he was 15th yea and i said let me go on ur acc then if ur 15th so i just went on his acc and he was 15th and then deleted the user then the next day when i went on my account that message came up my psn is FoRzA-MoNsTeR I am 6th prestige on B.o legit my KD is 1.79 and my wins to losses is 1.14 and a 124 winstreak i did not boost at all please unban me.

    __EtMazizi__:
    I was playin Black Ops and seached for a game of search and destroy, i just prestiged 4 da 4th time and entered a modded lobby. Ileft straight away when i relised wat it waz next thing i no i banned and reset.Has this r something similair happened to u???

    Innocent? Ever been to a prison? There are very few prisoners that will ever admit they’re guilty. This is either a rash of Sony errors – or sweet, sweet justice.

    CoD hackers – you did the crime… now do the time.

    So it looks like the large update Sony did also does a few other things. So all these people guilty or will it be a bug that caused all this?

    I want to also say not all console modders are hackers or pirates and I do have some level of sympathy. I also hope there is a mass ban on the PC soon, Nuketown is becoming unplayable between the obvious aim bots and not so obvious wall hackers.

        That's not the point though, it's against some agreement made that the user made not to modify their console. That's what you give up when you buy a console.

          I dread the day consoles support keyboard and mouse, cause then I won't have anymore excuses.

            Because you can now hack on consoles so you only need keyboard and mouse to complete everything? :eyebrows:

              Actually that is a pretty good example of people who hack for functionality, but they would whoop console...that it would be considered a cheat. Most of these people were probably malicious, but there are folks among them who did it for functionality.

                You can already do that with a PS3. It's been supported, I think, since its release.

                  Not all games support it in game.

                    True, but it's still already supported to a degree is what I'm going for. Still supported more than on say, the Xbox 360 or Wii, etc.
