Games Thirst – Amazing Life
As promised, Sony’s sent live PS3 firmware update 4.20 early this morning so if you’re looking to get some gaming in today, you’ll have to allow the system to update even as you leave the house because it’s mandatory.
The update doesn’t really change much, but the tweaks are welcomed. For example, you can now set your system to turn off after being idle for 1hr, and Sony’s also found a solution to the feature that enabled you to hear your own voice through the “Wireless Stereo Headset” when playing multiplayer modes. Said feature was added in firmware update 4.10.
Here’s the full quencher:
