Sony Computer Entertainment will offer the first software update for its forthcoming PlayStation 3 gaming console as soon as the devices go on sale. The free update will update the PlayStation 3 from version 1.0 to 1.1 of its built-in software, and add support for the PlayStation Network online service.
Now that’s a quick software update! I am not one to complain about updates for anything really… if they are needed, so be it. A few Xbox 360 games I’ve purchased recently have required updates straight out of the box also. So if you get a PS3, you better have a broadband connection to hop online to update your software.
