It seems as if Sony is releasing new updates thick and fast, the latest firmware update is 2.42. So what is new on this new software update?
Once you switch your PlayStation 3 on you will be meet with a message letting you know that there is a new download. We will be taking a look a little later just to see what Sony are giving us with the Firmware Update 2.42 update.
One thing that we do know is that the new software improves the quality of playback for some PS3 and Playstation format software. Until we have a closer look, we can’t really tell you much more.
Let us hope that this update fixes a few security issues, oh and those Call of Duty 4 issues that some gamers had complained about.

Hi, I have just downloaded it and I can’t see a difference expect in when I’m playing call of duty, It doesnt say downloading game settings a lot only for a feew seconds. I am also more connected and not getting games quit because I am dissconnecting from the access point. This update has really helped me now I can finish matches without counting them as a loss with a few seconds to go
NNiiice. tahts awesome.. i hate it whenever im forced to get a loss cuz my teams down and there may be 2 rounds left.. anways.. thanks for the info:)
I’ve just downloaded it…cant really see much of a difference. Hopefully when I play MGS4, I wont get diconnected all the time…because of the error message ‘connection not stable’—–ANNOYING!!!!
