PS3 Firmware is now 2.17

The Playstation 3 had yet another firmware update again over the weekend, one which didn’t add any new features but does promise better support for online games. Version 2.17 of the firmware’s purpose is to help online PS3 titles run better than they previously did. If you’re one of the gamers who doesn’t take their console online, then this isn’t a crucial update for your system.

It is a tad disappointing that the update doesn’t offer anything more, but at least some online games will run a bit better on the system. Also it is better to see that Sony is willing to quickly address issues rather than let them sit and fester until there is enough material to warrant a big update.

This PS3 update comes on the heels of a recent 3.90 firmware update for the Playstation Portable which included additional support for games and Skype support.
