Now you can go online to the PSN store, Sign in, and play games online without the system nagging you to update to the latest firmware. Follow these instructions here.

The instructions are somewhat confusing and out of order. But if you stick to it, you'll get it and be pissed at the tutorial writers, and know that you are smarter than them.

Things to note:

-charles.config is found in PS3DNS.zip.

-opening Charles for the first time, creates the charles.config fil.

-copy charles.config from PS3DNS.zip to C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Charles, replacing the file that is already there. To make it even easier for you, I have the charles.config file edited already for USA, see below. So no need to open Charles and edit the proxy,map local...etc.

-download ps2-updatelist.txt below and copy to C:\. This file is already edited for USA.

-see ps3news for more instructions.
