Sorry for the poor translation
To update, the PS3 needs an Internet connection, obviously; And can be downloaded under the
icon. It's said to be at around 110mb to download. (A little more than a PSP update
).
If you're Japanese and lucky enough to own a PS3, download the "PS3UPDAT.PUP" file into the "PS3\UPDATE" folder on the hard-drive.
Also, the US version is available.
By the way, I thought I'd mention the fact that the PS3 supports homebrew. *Ahem*, YEEEEHAW! That's right, Sony said this: "PLAYSTATION®3 allows any ******d third-party system software to be installed on it besides its system software provided by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Details will be posted on this site soon."
What does this mean folks? It means that our best Dev's can code us exciting applications to drool at after we aimlessly stare at the words: "Hello World". (At least at first). Well, it confirms what Phil Harrison said about the PS3 being an 'open platform'.
Don't forget that we're also running Linux!
Our best Dev's are on this, so let's all give them support!
Yippee! The future of Sony's new console looks bright!
