Nothing to see here, move along: PS3 Firmware 1.93 out photo

If you just picked up a copy of Heavenly Sword and plan to get your Nariko on, you're going to have one small obstacle -- firmware update time, baby!

The latest PlayStation 3 firmware, 1.93, doesn't do anything that exciting, so don't get your panties in a bunch. We're just looking at some fixes with some network issues, hopefully those of which will make Warhawk playable for those who have been experiencing trouble.

PS3 owners needn't do anything more than turn on their console and follow the prompts. Oh, and carve out about five to ten minutes of your time. Dear lord, Sony, why does it take so long to install these updates?

Does it fix Lair and stop those pesky kittens from popping out every 20 minutes?

I wish it only took 5-10 minutes. My download last night went on for at least 15-20 minutes, then it has to install :(

man, we NEEDED that update. Me in particular

Those plagued with the frequent disconnects from online play will be pleased after installing the update.

Bring puzzle fighter on.
also BIG LOL to those playing on the jank Xbox 360 dpad.

@ Dale:

I use the analog stick on my 360 to play Puzzle Fighter. Bitch. Bring it.

You're just scared.

Also, that analog sacrifices L-to-R accuracy - but yeah, you'd lose anyway.

Before you can turn that BS3 into a George Foreman Grill!

Dear Sony...

Why do I have to get off my fat ass and plug in the USB cable every time I need to do an update...

Why do you insist on shipping downloads that require extraction and installation time... Look at Microsoft... They provide a single binary that you download and execute... NO WAITING TIME!!!!!

Why... just why...?

It didn't ask me to plug in the usb cable when it restarted, just push the ps button and it installed. I noticed that change an update or 2 ago. I hope it does fix the network issues, I was getting signed out at random times even when I was not playing a game online or browsing. However, I had to initiate the patch 3 times before it downloaded the thing. Stopped at 4% a few times then errored out.

I thought it was silly that 360 owners look forward to their updates like a handjob from the hot neighbor, while PS3 owners look at their updates like a trip to the DMV.

Nick, I’m going to go ahead and assume that you didn’t credit me for the tip because A) you turned on your own PS3 and saw it yourself, or B) a number of people emailed you about the same thing, or C) this is just so small of a “tip” that it barely qualifies as such. I’m also going to assume that it wasn’t because of some personal vendetta against me — but that may be assuming too much.

@aupton: We stopped having to plug in our controllers, like, three updates ago. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

@Corak: Funny...the same thing happened to me. 4%, and then it said there was a connection error, which was a pile of crap, because I’m on a wireless router and my laptop was working just fine. But the download proceeded just fine after I restarted my PS3.
