PS3 New Firmware - USB Homebrew Now Impossible

Sony had just released firmware 3.42 for the PS3 as a minor update which includes additional security features. Once this update is installed, all instances of using the USB exploits has become impossible. SONY is pretty fast in its outtake of patching this exploit.

This update is also compulsory - meaning if they want to access the PlayStation Network, they'll need it which also includes playing of future games. So jailbreakers, plans for your next move?

Open-Source PSJailbreak

Sony has another new problem for the PS3 called PSGroove, an open-source PSJailbreak. With the PSJailbreak now under fire of a lawsuit, this new open-source jailbreak will have Sony face-palming itself, thinking of what to do next. In order to use the hack, the code must be downloaded and installed on an AT90USBkey or Teensy++ USB development board, after which homebrew folks will be able to execute unsigned third-party apps and games on the PS3. Currently the ability to boot ISO files is temporarily disabled, but a workaround should be available pretty soon. So Sony, what's your next move?
