I have just downloaded the Latest firmware for the PS3 making it now 2.71 but cant notice any new features or improvements to current features/proformance. Does anyone know what advantage this new firmware has over the old one?

The 2.17 firmware update released yesterday seems to be a games-centric one, dealing with improved PS3 software performance.

From what I can gather, the upgrade mainly improves the operating stability on some online PS3 titles.

So the promised HD audio support still beckons.

I'm not a big fan of reporting unconfirmed news, but whilst I was searching to find out what the 2.17 update actually contained, I came across a report that update version 2.20 is all ready to go.

It gave the impression that Sony wanted to make sure that 2.17 was working ok, before releasing the next big update.
