Ps3 2.36 Update Question? - Blu-ray Forum

J.H. · 07-06-2008, 12:49 PM

Is there any way to get an actual disc of this update as I am not that great with computers? What exactly do I need if I wanted to do it online? I really want DTS-HD so I need this update. Thanks for the help J.H.

I'm sure that there are games available that have that update. Not sure which ones though. If you want to download via the PS3, go to software update in the settings section of the XMB, and the PS3 will do all the work.

if your going to do it by ps3 you will need internet connection connected to your ps3 and from there just go where Nerdkiller said and if you already have internet connection if you have a playstation network account it should ask you to update your ps3

Dts-HD Master was out with firmware 2.30

...have you not updated it since then?

No I have never updated my PS3 the problem is that my internet connection is far from my HT setup. The only thing that Toshiba got right with HD-DVD was they sent the updates in the mail. I still get them and they have abandoned HD-DVD. I would gladly pay shipping on PS3 updates but they don't give you the option. Thanks again J.H.

Ok please explain to someone that is not that great with computers? How about if I were to buy the BRAVIA internet connection thng for my Sony LCD? Would that get me the updates via wireless? Thanks again J.H.

J.H.,

This is the official update website for the PS3.
http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Ab...e/default.html

Do you have a USB flash drive stick? If not, they can be found at Wal-Mart for $20.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the option saying
Update using a PC »

From there just follow the instructions. It is very easy to follow, even if you are not computer savvy. Post in this thread if you find this method confusing, but I believe you will be able to understand it.
