Sony PS3 gets latest mandatory update

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 06 Feb 2014 9:28 User comments (4)

Sony has released their latest mandatory firmware update for the PlayStation 3.

The update does not appear to include much more than "software stability" fixes, but as with all firmware updates it is required for online gaming and using apps like Netflix and Hulu.

Sony has not released a change log for the update.

Earlier in the week, Sony released another firmware update, adding headset support and the ability to mute microphone of the PlayStation Eye Camera along with the usual stability patches.

Oh then your computer must run either Steam OS or a Distro of Linux if you " do not need the insane control of Sony or Microsoft to enjoy gaming ! "
