PS3 owners, go download system software v2.35 photo

Yes, I’m reusing the pic. Gimme a break. No one got the joke last time, anyway.

In a quick post on the PlayStation.Blog that went up at around 7:30 PM EDT yesterday evening, Eric Lempel, the Director of PlayStation Network Operations, let us know that system software v2.35 for the PS3 would be going live “shortly”. I can now confirm for you that the update has been put up; it is currently available for download through your XMB. In fact, I just downloaded and installed it myself.

As for what the update does, the original post said only this: “This is a relatively minor update to improve stability of some PS3 titles.” According to a response from SCEA PR Manager Al de Leon to a comment on the blog post, firmware v2.35 has nothing at all to do with GTA IV — or, specifically, the problems that some PS3 users have been having in trying to play it. Either way, your PS3 is going to bug you about updating eventually, so why don’t you just preempt that by doing it yourself?

Damn got me all excited, thought we'd see in game XMB, but alas it looks like it will have to wait. Didn't I read somewhere before that update 2.4 would have in game XMB?

Are people really still having problems with GTA4? That patch cleared everything up for me and I was getting lockups every 30-90 seconds with Internet enabled previously.

Still no In-Game XMB though. AAAAAARRRRR!!!!! The least they could do is send us all one of those sweet In-Shirt XMB t-shirts.

I think that from now on all front page articles should be accompanied by a rebus.

@Volomon: You got it — that’s all there is to it. As for what a rebus is, go here. I’m surprised more people aren’t familiar with it; I remember it from my early grade school days.

I adore all these updates to my PS3 that do absolutly nothing, I wish we could get more of them!

Kinda reminds me of the time I got s3xually assaulted by a Space Slug!

"and what are the non-ps3 owners supposed to do?"

Watch your Wii gather dust, or wait for MS to send your 360 back to you?

(That was a joke btw)
