A new system software update for the PS3 has appeared, taking the console to version 4.11.
The firmware “improves certain aspects of system software” apparently, which is nice. Some users have suggested this fixes the non-deletion of PS1 and Minis titles from the PS3 after downloading.
PlayStation say the update is optional, although I was forced to download it before the PS3 would connect to my Vita.

Optional my butt! Last time i looked optional doesn’t mean being unable to sign into SEN(PSN) unless you update to it.
I know we tend to get different content then the US, but how on earth did we manage to get mandatory update and they get an optional one? I just wondering.

because they’re American and we are just lowly Europeans! :P

The states didn’t get a optional one. At least it sure as hell isn’t optional on mine. And everything runs exactly the same.

Hope it fixes the unexplained game freezes that seem to have appeared on several games since the last update as they require a complete machine reboot. Sodding annoying if you are near the end of a game level with few or no checkpoints!

The only change that I have noticed is that the “Whats new” adverts link through to the PSN/SEN/whatever when you click on them. Without the update, the “Captain America for 99p” didnt link through to the store but with the update, it takes me through no problem.
P.S. CAPTAIN AMERICA FOR 99p in the SEN/PSN STORE! WOOP!

Had to download this on Tuesday. Operative word being ‘had’.
Optional my ballbag!
