Optional PS3 firmware update released

4.7
Sony has released PS3 firmware version 4.53.

According to SuperFastZombie, an online support co-ordinator for the English PlayStation community, the optional update improves system stability.

Sony claimed that month that worldwide PS3 sales to retailers hit 80 million units on November 2, eight years after the system launched.

As of September 30, Sony said 4,332 software titles had been released for PS3 worldwide, excluding downloadable games. A further 300 will be released this winter, including this Friday's Gran Turismo 6, the latest entry in PlayStation's best-selling franchise.

The PlayStation Network, which launched alongside PS3 in 2006, now operates in 59 countries and, as of September 19, had amassed more than 150 million registered accounts. PSN's global catalogue offers over 222,000 digital content options, including 72,000 pieces of game content, according to Sony.

PS4 launched in North America on November 15 and two weeks later in Europe and Latin America. Worldwide PS4 sales stand at 2.1 million units, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House said on Tuesday morning.

Yeah, what does this update even do?

MajinTaPosted:

That's what the newest PlayStation 3 looks like. Well. That's what mine looks like. You don't need the PS3 to have power to take the game out.

TywinPosted:

I'm both surprised and happy that they are still giving attention to the PS3 even after the release of the PS4.

LotPosted:

Not worth releasing it since the ps4 is out

TywinPosted:

ext Yeah they say that they are "Optional" when they really are not, you have to download them no matter what.


You don't have to download this one.
If you connect without interent, you will not be forced to download it.
