PlayStation 3 Gets Software Update on Launch Day

[wraggster]

Just as the long-awaited PlayStation 3 games consoles go on sale in Japan this Saturday, Sony will also be offering the first software update. The firmware update, offered as a free download, adds support for the PlayStation Network online service."
From the article:
"In late November the company also plans to offer a firmware update for its PlayStation Portable (PSP) games device. The update will bump the firmware to version 3.0 and add PlayStation Network support. With the new firmware in both devices the PSP will be able to access contents stored on the PlayStation 3 via a wireless LAN connection using a system Sony has dubbed 'Remote Play.' It will also make it possible to purchase and download PSP games content."

Sounds better than having to wait ages. Software upgrade is a way of getting the best out of a console - just look at he psp.

To me it shows that even though they delayed the damn thing over a year they were still unprepared to make the launch date.

Or it shows that they made the same mistake with the PSP and probably have a system whose doors are more open to hackers.

Don't upgrade anyone, maybe homebrew is just around the corner
