It is available to download now, and has been tagged as a mandatory update.

That means of course, that it isn’t optional, so unless you update to v3.42, you won’t be able to access the Playstation Network, i.e – play games online.

No word from Sony on what the update actually does, but you can guess that is has something to do with all the jailbreaking methods that are swirling around at the moment. Just hours ago, we told you about an update to PSJailbreak, which will allow support for PS2 gaming – again.

The question is though – do you update straight away for online gaming, or do you hang around until something happens in the jailbreak scene? Update, or possibly lose any chance of playing legal homebrew content on your PS3.

Let us know what you plan to do.

According to this report from TheSixthAxis, Sony has not one but two more firmware updates planned for release in September and October.

The first will include support for 3D Blu-ray movie playback, which most of you probably already know about, but the additional update in October will bring support for 3D photos, via the release of a few brand new Cybershot cameras capable of producing 3D panoramic images.

It seems perfect sense to us that Sony will want to create a 3D media hub for customers who plan to pick up the new 3D cameras, so what better way than to use the PS3 console with it’s now 3D capabilities.

Hopefully we’ll have more details on the future updates soon, but it is certainly something to look forward to.
