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.
If you have had a chance to download the latest Sony PS3 Update 2.42, let us know what you think.

after da update i can not play ps2 games on my ps3
no problems here in new zealand
Well this is totally Effed Up!!! My son decided that it would be a good idea to update the PS3 and he did 2 nights ago without me knowing it. Well now ANYTHING BLURAY does NOT play. NOTHING!!! Doesn’t even recognize the DAMN Disk!!! Is there anything I can do???
Takes. Too. Fucking. Long. To. Download. I know it’s not my connection either because I’ve updated my PS3 in 4 different places across a 30 mile radius (moving house a lot) and it’s always slow, I just seem to have a bad connection to Sonys servers wherever I go, no matter what the size of the download is. Everything else downloads fine, even my shitty xbox three shitsty.
It’s brilliant! The greatest game of all time, Worms, now works properly!
Same thing here. On my ps3, after the update to 2.42 doesn’t read any cd-rom, not blue ray, not dvd, no music. Wow, what an update, must have been written by Microsoft!!!
