PlayStation TV – Does Every Brand New PlayStation TV Ship with Firmware 3.60 or Lower?

playstation-tv

I know, the reason I'm asking this seems pretty obvious, but please ignore it.

Let's say I'd like to know if every brand new (not used) PlayStation TV that is shipped by a reliable reseller (one that does not open the box) delivers with a firmware that is lower than version 3.60.

I am in Europe (Italy).

It looks like this you won't find a new, unopened PS TV with firmware past 3.60.

From what I can tell, this is likely due to the fact that PS TVs were discontinued early this year, see here:

A representative for the company confirmed to GameSpot on Monday that shipments for the device stopped at the end of 2015 in the Americas and Europe.

Since the PS TV uses the same OS as the PS Vita, I looked for the firmware release history for Vita and according to this site, firmware version 3.61 for Playstation Vita was released August 2016, which was after the PS TV was discontinued.

Since PS TVs are no longer being shipped, any new PS TV you buy will have been shipped prior to version 3.61 or later.
