The PlayStation 3 firmware update that SPOnG told you about yesterday is now good to go, with Sony having provided more details on what it's for.
A posting on the PlayStation Blog confirms that the following tweaks will be made:
• Stability during playing some PLAYSTATION 3 format software has been improved.
• Stability of System Software including Internet Browser and Information Board has been improved.
• Stability of the upscaler for PlayStation 2 format software has been improved. (Playability of PlayStation 2 depends on model)
• [Remote Start] feature is changed to avoid unintended power on.
SPOnG is hoping, for Ubisoft's sake, that the "PLAYSTATION 3 format software" in question includes Assassin's Creed as the publisher suggests. The game really doesn't need the bad publicity generated by in-game freezes on the PS3 any more than it needs the less than stunning critical response it's received. Of course, given the game's Chart performance Ubisoft might not agree with us on that...

LOL has anyone noticed when Sony releases an update 2 things usually happen:
1) PS3 owners complain how their system is messing up and things aren't working properly.
2) Sony release another update to fix the previous update.
This has happened on the PSP now the PS3.
But when Microsoft release an update to the console its very noticeable and inlcludes many nice things.

To be fair, there have been a few stories of 360s being bricked by firmware updates in the past.
Sony release "little but often" updates whereas Microsoft release "large but infrequent" updates. This makes it look like Microsoft are giving more because the list of features on each update is larger, but I think they probably balance out in the end.

Don't call him an idiot just for being right. Both parties release updates, Microsoft less but more impactful, Sony more but less impactful. Does it matter? No. Updates always = new features and improved stability. Tyrion is only pulling a South Park, presenting an equal but different opinion on the situation.
Why is this even an issue? It further pushes along the notion that there are camps. And we all know camping is for losers with no skill and boy scouts. So if your going to whine about bullshit like this, pitch a tent woodsman and bake me some frickin' beans.
Also if you were truly bipartisan(bisysteman?), you'd laud Sony for providing such timely updates and thus if you didn't want to buy a PS3 before, you would now consider because they're squashing the things that were preventing you from buying it in the first place.
I surely hate Microsoft, but I do own a 360. See, you can have your cake and eat it too. Mine is that frozen Friendly's kind.
