It seemed a fairly quick update (by PS3 standards) – have they come around to the idea that you don’t have to replace the entire firmware each time you fix a small text file or was I just lucky?

Wow..really Sony’s getting creative !!
It’s amazing what Sony does for their PS3 and what Microsoft does for the Xbox360..
You go a whole lot better on the Xbox360 ^^

What are you talking about SWiSS BOSS? Looks like mad, fanboy jibberish rather then anything actually on-topic…
