Jase Fox · 08-25-2008, 10:43 PM

Hi guys. when a new firmware comes out for a bluray player would you recommend installing it even though im not having any problems with my player? or wait until my player say starts to freeze etc & then install it? in other words dont fix what isnt broken?

Do you use your PS3 for movies only?

For several games it is required that u upgrade the firmware to play online.

Example: Call of Duty 4, when new firmware is out, it requires for me to upgrade to play online.

I usually wait for a few days to make sure no one's having any bugs, but I always get them at some point or another.

I've always d/loaded the PS3 firware updates immediately and have never had a problem with them.

Regardless of what electrical device you are referring to, upgrading the Firmware is generally a good idea. Though I recommend waiting 2 days after its released and see if its recalled before downloading/installing it. I think its good to have it installed as it can give you additional features that you may not have had before or better playback.

I usually download the new firmware because its supposed to fixed the problems that already exists not create new ones.
