PlayStation 3 firmware update, Store sale ongoing

Matt Eskins contributed these news items.

One week has passed since we were given the power to remote start and create our own themes for the PlayStation 3. But another update is already out to fix a few minor problems with the 2.00 release.

The update contains resolution for the following items:

- System stability during use of some PlayStation 3 format software has been improved.
- System stability including the use of the internet browser and Information Board, along with other operations has been improved.
- Output of upscaled PlayStation 2 format software images has been improved, as long as your PS3 model supports PS2 software playback.
- Functionality of the Remote Start feature has altered to prevent a situation that would cause an unintentional remote start. This problem cropped up with particular routers being used.

Additionally, the PlayStation Store is now running a holiday sale. Calling All Cars, Everyday Shooter, flOw and PixelJunk Racers will all be available on the PSN for $4.99 until November 29th.

flOw will also have add-on pack available for $2.99. The pack contains a new campaign, a new playable creature and the ability to take pictures of them and send them to everyone on your buddy list. I’m eagerly awaiting the flood of flOw creature pics that I’ll be receiving, much like I’m waiting to be beaten over the head with a shovel.
