First of all I have no problem with passing all future updates. At this time I use my PS3 mainly for YDL. But I've been very disappointed with SONY since last summer (when they decided to remove Other OS from the slim model). Linux was the main reason why I bought the PS3. SONY killed any further development on the Linux side last summer. Now they try to kill a promised feature on my own machine - after they have been lying to us all ...
So I cannot understand those who are willing to buy an additional PS3. I personally will not buy any further products from such a lying company. There are other companies on the market which offer fine electronic products. For me I will buy the next refurbished MacBook Pro edition and maybe I will put a Linux partition on it.
So SONY has lost me as a customer forever!!! (And I have bought all models from PS1 to PS3 and would have been buying later models too.)

In other words, if you have a PS3 isolated from the internet, when the game boots it cannot check to see if a newer firmware patch (or game patch) is available. So it just runs 'single player' mode and assumes it is the most recent version and has the most recent firmware version.
I think it is possible that the data storage medium of a newer game could come with a new version of the system software on the disc. If I remember right my PS3 once updated the Game OS software without being connected to the internet right from the disc of the game "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune".
Have fun with your consoles OR Linuxes
