PS3 firmware 4.11 releases today  photo

Sony is releasing a mandatory update for European PS3 owners today -- firmware 4.11! It follows the release of last week's critically acclaimed 4.10, and will boast these amazing features for your PlayStation 3 home entertainment system:

  • Improves certain aspects of system software

Well stick a frog up my ass and call me Josef Mengele, that's some hot shit right there. 

If you're in the US and Canada, don't panic! Although this is a mandatory update in Europe, that doesn't mean it's an exclusive release. You can voluntarily download it in the Americas, so nobody needs to miss out on improvements to certain aspects of their system software. 

Just thinking about getting all up in the firmware improves certain aspects of my pants ... by making my throbbing erection spunk off, is what I mean!

I feel like Jim has 20 or so of these ready to go, and just fills in the blanks of fw version # and "features" and then hits post.

Dagnabbit! I knew that I should have held off on getting the last one. They always release an update later in the year.
Still, it hasn't even been nine months yet! Just give us a full sequel already!

Also @Jim will you be doing this for the Vita updates as well now?

Can we please shut down the Store as well?

I wouldn't want to set a precedent where it only goes down once in an entire month.

We don't want people thinking Sony actually wants to make money.

Jim can never really get enough of these posts, as if he has multiple, uncontrollable orgasms throughout the day that are triggered by frustration and/or stupidity. For reasons, obviously. Jim, keep the laugh train rolling.

Meh, I'll wait and get the UOTY version with all the DLC included. It's obvious this update is just content that was cut from the last release.

So are they patching a potential exploit from the custom firmware people I wonder? Or is this just because someone panicked that people with the vita may have felt out of place without seeing another update to deal with after getting a 0day fw patch for the vita and a couple of the vita games?

A new Update so soon, i don't know, seems like they're saturating the market. I don' want to see this go the way of Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk.

Jesus christ. we get it. system updates happen. if you don't have fats internet get a faster internet. if you don't have 5 minutes to wait for an update you don't have enough time to dedicate an hour to gaming either. Theres actual news to be posted with gaming yet you are late on those yet manage to post about god damned system updates the moment they happen.

Step your shit up.

The download speeds for updates and the frequency to remain up to date for the PS3 are truly excessive. I hope KAZ reads these posts and engineers a superior platform in the PS4.

If you're sick of sarcastic firmware update posts, remember WHY they I get to post them so frequently.

I maybe play the PS3 once every 3 months but signing on and having to update for about an hour or so usually kills my gaming mood.

Anyone want to buy a PS3?

I think that given your love for the firmware updates Jim, Sony should start naming their updates and one of them should be called the Sterling update in honor of your love for them.
