A posting by Eric Lempel, director of PlayStation Network Operations on the PlayStation Blog tells us, "I just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that a PS3 firmware update (v2.35) will be released shortly. This is a relatively minor update to improve stability of some PS3 titles."
It didn't take long for it to be posited in the forums that the update was GTA IV-related. All of 11 minutes later, Al De Leon, a PR Manager for Sony Computer Entertainment America, jumped in to say, "I just want to clarify that this upcoming firmware update isn’t related to GTA IV. For those of you who may still have an issue playing the game on your PS3, we have identified a solution that should resolve the issue."
So that's good news! It might be nice to know what the solution is and what games the update does, in fact, relate to, but you can't have it all...
Freezing issues for the PS3 version of GTA IV quickly cropped up following the game's launch. You can read more here.

I've been called some pretty nasty things in my time, but a blogger has got to be the worst.
I think there's a slight difference between spending ten minutes on Spong or hours on GTA IV when it's been such nice weather, but if remarks like mine can cause such offence ("Turn off my console? How dare you!") then maybe you guys need a little R&R yourselves.

Maybe we finally get to play our SD DVDs from any region code so can actually use the upscaling feature of the PS3?
No? Oh well, further Sony/PS3 purchases are still banned in my house then!
