Hey, any chance of some helpful soul downloading this update and chucking it onto a local FTP server?

Perhaps to ftp://ftp.isgaming.co.za/hardware/patches/PS3/

Yes that may be a .co.za but I think it's hosted internationally.

I was hoping to download it using my local bandwidth.

3.1 firmware update just caused havoc on my PS 3. All games just seems to freeze. Which is so damn irritating dont they get it tested before releasing it. What the hell do we do now with a R 5000 device that doesnt work properly. I wish i could sue them or something

Glad to see i am not the only one having a ps3 that does not agree with the latest update. i almost dropped a bag of cash to get it fixed thinking it was the lazer or something. i hope they send out a patch soon to fix it i need to play COD2 again
