The latest official firmware version varies depending on language/country.
USA = 1.1.xx.xxxxx
UK = 1.2.xx.xxxxx
France = 1.3.xx.xxxxx
Germany = 1.4.xx.xxxxx
These are all the latest firmware versions for the PRS-505

The Loss of guarantee and the possibility of a brick for newbees is probably the only reason to stick to the original FW.

People use the word downgrade and make other folks think they are going backwards in functionality. The truth is the function is the same only the language is different. I know people here know that. I'm just clarifying it for others who might be reading this. The term
downgrade to FW1.1 should be replaced
switched to FW1.1.
If PRS+ provides the proper language for you then switching to FW 1.1.00.18040 w/PRS+ is in fact an upgrade in functionality.
Please don't confuse the new folks here with improper or confusing terminology.
