Sony releases 2.42 firmware for PS3

Today Sony released the version 2.42 firmware for the PlayStation 3. According to Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network Operations: “This update improves the playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation format software.”

To be honest I really don’t understand what this update does. I wish that Sony would stop giving these vague descriptions. I’m wary to put anything on my $400 machine without some idea of what it does. But, as your faithful reporter, I’m downloading it now to see if there are any changes. If I find something, there will be a post.
