Firmware update 1.31 for the PS3

Ó

here comes another one!On December 6, most of us woke up to the rather surprising fact that Firmware 1.3 has landed for our PS3s. A week later (that would be today...), we are again given a surprise with the new update, Firmware 1.31. When we said that these update things just might be a monthly routine, we didn't think it would be this fast!

Anyhow, we're still not sure as to what this update does exactly as of yet. We've checked over at the official PS3 site, but as of press time, they still have the update info for 1.30. We're keeping our fingers crossed hoping that the update includes enhancements for the system's backwards compatibility.

We're updating our own unit as we speak, so we'll hook you up with the newsies once it's done. Now, we're off to do some PS3 tweaking.



Update: There's been some updates, and we'll have an article about those updates soon.

A good thing about the Wii is that once you update it tells you what the update was for... unlike the PS3 were you dont know wtf the update did.

I suggest most of you to not update. Just like the PSP, their may be available hacks for specific firmware. I advise you all strongly to NOT update. Besides, the update doesn't really have anything different with it.

Yeah, but there is a problem. If you don't have an updated version, you cannot access the online store or use the online features. So you're somewhat forced to update.
