Whilst it’s likely that we won’t be getting many more major firmware updates for the PS3 with the PS4 just around the corner, the gradual creep of firmware iterations continues today with version 4.40, available now for download.
There’s nothing official on any of the PlayStation channels yet, and there’s nothing obviously changed – at least at first glance – it’s probably just subtle “stability enhancements” as per usual. That SingStar icon’s still there, anyway.
Perhaps it’s related to recent custom firmware ‘features‘.
Update: Sony Japan at least has issued patch notes. Stability improvements and support for an NFC reader. Try to contain your excitement if you can.

PS4 games come with NFC tags built into the box. Add in the Gakai element, and you have some speculation that PS3 will be able to stream PS4 games..

Erm…….what’s an NFC reader when it’s at home??
Oh aye, and down with the Singstar icon. :D
