PS3 Version 2.50

It is now 1:40 am, November 02, Sunday. Seriously, the WiFi is not so good. We have been a bit slow on updating because downloading takes a strain on the hours for us (and our PS3 because we sent it for repair recently). But we got it.

This is after an HOUR!

Next to the new features, we get to use the PS store again. Still no LBP downloads yet but we'll survive. Max is now inputting the codes for his DEAD SPACE scorpion suit but he will have to wait a few hours to use it since we've been leaving the PS3 and the air con and the fan on for quite sometime. See goodnight (early morning?) everybody!

Here's what the System Update has to offer!
