Sony updates PS3 firmware, again
Not 2.40, not 2.41, but 2.42
30th July 2008 10:12 GMT
Sony clearly hopes it's able to put the recent PlayStation 3 firmware fiasco (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/07/03/firmware_240_withdrawn/) behind it, and so it's issued yet another update for the console.
Before you go getting too excited though, the latest version – which is called 2.42 - doesn’t sound as though it adds any juicy features, like in-game XMB menu access.
A short and sweet announcement on the official PlayStation blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/firmware/) states that 2.42 improves the playback quality of some PS3 and PlayStation format software. And…erm…that’s it.
The update is available to download now.
