Early reports suggest that this particular update added a setting for mechanical damage in online games, from “none”, “light” and “heavy”.

As a result, firmware 3.55 has been released to patch the vulnerability, preventing jailbreak from having effect. It’s clear that Sony doesn’t want piracy to get out of hand like it did on the PSP and is trying to keep up with hackers.
