I'd bet they'll either keep it at the cracked firmware version and patch the games so you can play them, or if they're really ambitious release custom firmware, but I haven't seen anything like that so far.

Apparently CoD Black Ops requires the newest firmware too.
I was told that there were new updates to deal with games that require the latest firmware which make them playable, but perhaps your actual system still needs to be the old firmware in order to get anything to work in the first place. I've tried one, it's pretty painless.

Sadly, my own PS3 has corrupted nand flash and I really don't feel like giving Sony (who outsources it to MPC tech or something in Canada) $200 to fix it. In the US, Sony would do it for free.
