PS4 System Software / Firmware 6.71 Released, Don't Update!

Straight out of the WTF department, following their PS4 6.70 Firmware release just a few days ago today Sony pushed yet another PS4 System Software / Firmware 6.71 update with the changelog simply stating "This system software update improves system performance" again.

As always DON'T UPDATE if you wish to use PS4 game backups and homebrew apps when a new jailbreak exploit arrives, and we'll add any related Tweets below as PlayStation 4 scene developers have a chance to examine it.

Don't upgrade my arse! The ps4 jailbreak is the first one at the game console history that keeps your machine back without any future instead of make it better. The scene is really sucks

I hope the hacking scene would hold out on their exploits for the older firmware and apply them to the newer ones, especially for all the new games announced at E3.
