Revisional Differences

In firmware versions before v3.00, the startup screen uses an orchestral tuning sound with the words "Sony Computer Entertainment" on it. This was replaced with a different tune along with a new startup, featuring the "PS" logo and the new "PlayStation 3" logo in firmware v3.00 and above. Also during game boot, in firmware versions before v3.00, you are greeted with a "PlayStation 3" splash screen, featuring the Sam Raimi Spider-Man style font. This was removed in firmware versions after v3.00 and instead boots directly into the game.

Early PlayStation 3 consoles had the option to install other operating systems, such as Linux or FreeBSD. This feature was removed in later models and older models running firmware v3.21.
