The method I was referring to required using Qcma (
https://codestation.github.io/qcma) instead of the official Content Manager, but otherwise involved downloading and installing legally owned content (with real and official licenses). I have a PS3 which was purchased specifically for this purpose, but I haven't used any of these systems in a long time, and I'm trying to determine if there is any reason to avoid updating the PS3's firmware.
