I didn't check what the firware the ps3 comes with but it came with the rumble controler so you'd figure it would have a somewhat upgraded firmware version. I'm going to get my thumbdrive and get the upgrade on my laptop and install it that way. hopefully that will work.

aside from the wireless portion not working right now the system is bad ass! I got motor storm used and its a beautiful looking game. GTA4 looks pretty sweet too. The game I'm really looking forward to is the Ghostbusters game, that is a must have.
