PS3 Firmware Update 2.01 Makes Things Stable

A new firmware update is now available for the PlayStation 3, and while it doesn’t add any new features, it’s one you’ll certainly want to download as soon as possible. Stability across the board has been improved, including the following areas:
- Stability during playing some PlayStation 3 format software has been improved.
- Stability of System Software including Internet Browser and Information Board has been improved.
- Stability of the upscaler for PlayStation 2 format software has been improved. (Playability of PlayStation 2 depends on model)
- [Remote Start] feature is changed to avoid unintended power on.
Like I said, nothing exciting, but still something you should pick up next time you turn your PS3 on.
I’m not saying fixing stuff is bad, but why should it need fixing in the first place? Aren’t these the kind of things that should, you know, maybe be good when it’s released?
Why it is lately more and more developers for all things related to games seem to take the half-arsed approach, relying on the fact they can ’simply patch it later’?
i downloaded the ps3 update 2.01, and now ps2 games that once worked on the ps3 dont, any ideas why? i mean they were working before i installed 2.01. is this an unrelated issue or does the 2.01 update cause this?
