If your PlayStation 3 has been collecting raindrops as a doorstop the last few console generations, rest assured that Sony just released a shiny new PS3 Firmware / System Software 4.88 Update for it... and as expected their typical vague changelog simply states, "This system software update improves system performance."
As always, it's NEVER a wise idea to update PlayStation Firmware in order to make use of such things as PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW), downgrading, homebrew, Webkit exploits, etc.
Download: PS3 Firmware 4.88 (EU) Update / PS3 Firmware 4.88 (US) Update / PS3 Firmware 4.88 (AU/NZ) Update / PS3 Firmware 4.88 (JP) Update
PS3 HFW 4.88 (Hybrid Firmware) and PS3HEN v3.0.3 with Ultimate Toolbox v2.01 are now added to the PS3HEN Homebrew ENabler sticky thread.
This comes following the previous PS3 OFW update, and from the official PlayStation Site on PlayStation 3 System Software Update 4.88:
Version 4.88
Changelog (Unofficial):
Download: EVILNAT 4.88 RSX 600 750.PUP (197.45 MB - PS3UPDAT.PUP MD5: 157a7568ea0ff42e0d1efc353f03c9b4)
Cheers to @jwooh for the heads-up on this l337 PS3Scene news earlier today!
