PS3 Firmware Update 2.17

Sony have updated the official PlayStation software today.

The new version is specifically designed to ‘improve operating stability’ according to Sony. In recent weeks, as the number of users has increased on PS Online, some issues have cropped up with games such as Call of Duty 4.

The last time Sony introduced an update quoting the same reasons it was to assist in network problems with Warhawk, at that time the biggest online game for the PS3.

Several large updates are in the pipeline, such as ‘in-game XMB’ and a video download service.
