Non-compulsory PS3 firmware update 3.73 goes live
The next time you switch your PlayStation 3 on, you won’t be forced to download the latest firmware update for the system, but Sony Computer Entertainment has made it available nonetheless, which is nice.
What does the firmware do?
According to a Twitter posting by SCE, the latest PS3 firmware update (version 3.73) improves stability “during use of certain PS3 format software.”
That’s all that’s officially known at the moment, but if there are any further feature announcements we’ll let you know. The firmware download shouldn’t put a great halt to any online activity, either, and can be downloaded within minutes.

Thanks for the heads-up Oliver :)
oooo another up date for my PS3....so that makes it update number 3.... i really need to update my PS3 to give uncharted Home a try....will update the machine this afternoon when I'm at the gym or commenting on El33tonline. (El33tonline is like my version of facebook)
Ha, that is one of the best things I have heard all day! I like that, "El33tonline is like my version of Facebook."
The other good news I had was that The Batman is on it's way to me :) Yippee!
that is so unfair and awesome at the same time......i want it to be sent to me aswell....i got some bad guys for Batman to sort out. When you open the box remember to go: Batman! na na na na na na
@lisa is that your collector's edition from kalahari? if so, isn't it only supposed to be posted to you tomorrow?o_O
Ok, that is just making me cry even more.... i would love the collectors edition.......
My review copy will be arriving today...I'll pick up my collector's edition on Friday when the game releases :)
I'll be sure to make all the necessary noises (including oohhs and aaahs) when I open the box later!
Can i have your review copy when you get your Collector's Edition????? pretty please.....with sugar on top....I'll even come and wash your car to get my hands on that game.....
Sorry POltjie, it's Oliver's! But you can still wash my car if you like.....
noooo how can you do this to me......I'll was the car if you throw in Uncharted 1 & 2.....wow my bargaining skills are getting tested here....
Haha.......you need to go back to bargain skill school ;)
sigh......ok fine. I'll try my luck on something else later on. Is there any old review copies laying around that i can borrow???
Keep your fingers crossed - maybe you'll win a game in one of our awesome competitions! :)
hmmm, i know I'll win something because you guys are awesome. but you can't blame me for trying. (I'm a gamer, I'll do anything to get my hands on games. Ok maybe not ..........anyway)
Ah, not bad. Thanks for the update on the update :)
I heard the CE is delayed is that true? Yeah big up for the update news
man that is sad news. I just got the tweet that there is a problem with stock and it will be delayed for a bit.....
I didnt even get any kind of notification of an update o.O Oh well...
i think the reason why we didn't get an notification is because the update is optional. I'm so many firmwares behind that I'll go straight into this version.
