PS3 version 3.40

Last night after volleyball on the beach and a quick shower I headed to the basement where the PS3 resides. I fired it up and loaded MW2 only to discover that Sony required me to do a system update. So being the loyal PS3 owner I ran the system update. At the time I had no idea why there was an update waiting to install.

Probably the biggest new feature is the Playstation Plus premium online service. I'm not sure that $49.99 per year for cross game chat, some exclusive demos and trials, and access to the Qore premium video series is worth it. But I'm sure some people will take advantage of it. The beach bum in me says save the $50 for something else. A new game perhaps.

Other features include a beefed up Facebook on PS3, the ability to upload pictures and video to select sites on the Internet.

Not entirely impressed.  I would rather see the ability to switch users within a game.  Instead of having to reload a game that another users had been playing.  But that's me.
