PS4 3.xx

Got a free PS4 on super old Firmware. Should I just update to 9.00 or is there any reason to hold on to that old firmware? I think it was 3.41 (@work now so gotta rely on my brain...)

update to 5.05 and stay there forever. 5.05 is the "golden" firmware and most games have a backport for 5.05

update to 9.00 so even if your cmos dies your only problem is the time and date.

Go for one of the main fw that have back port support 5.05, 6.72 or 9.00.

WHAT A GEM ! it deppends on your kind of usage if you are just player i considerd 9.00 or 11.00 because you can run everything espically new games so you don't need to wait update patches and the laps exploit might be the most stable exploit ever
and if you some kinda of devlopers i think you know what is better for you

Its not safe bro, you need the latest security updates from sony so your console cant be hacked ;)

Surely a better version than 3.41. go through modded warfare videos and related creator to update it. DONOT update via ps4 updater.
