Gannu said:The widely spread theory that a console with an import date after Feb~March 2011 may have a 3.56 firmware has thus been proved wrong!![]()
prakhar said:Getting the latest firmware in the PS3 is easy. Just download the latest firmware to sign in into the PSN and play online. IIt can be downloaded from Playstation US or UK Or AUS websites on PC or via PS3 itself.
Why is there fuss over which firmware one gets after he or she buys the console, any which way it has to be updated to the latest 3.72 version.
Only valid reason i can see for having to worry about the firmware which the console original comes with is to check whether it is from the new stock or not.

What else do I need to buy ?
I am not a gamer. Bought it for the blu-ray player, casual gaming and hype.
So what simple games (non-violent) should I buy?
