After updating the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console's firmware to v2.0 less than three weeks ago, Sony pushed out another update earlier this week (v2.01). This time, the update attacks stability issues according to the company. Reported crashed and freezing during gameplay has been targeted by the second update to the system's software, and improved stability is offered now when users access the internet or information boards.
The update also improves backwards compatibility with older PlayStation 2 (PS2) titles for the units with emulation support for those games. The newer 40GB model does not support the older game titles. Firmware 2.0 also introduced a feature to remotely start up a PS3 over the internet via a PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld console.
The update has made changes to this feature after many users reported that it was not reliable.
