Interestingly PlayStation’s new PS3 update 2.17 was issued without any prior warning from Sony and very little specific information about the problems it is intended to fix or the software affected, although MotorStorm is thought to be one of the titles., reports Webuser.co.uk.

According to TechRadar “Sony tends to release new updates as soon as they’re ready, leading to regular, small updates. That contrasts with Microsoft, which only updates the Xbox 360 firmware every six months or so.”

Sony says that the only real changes in the new PS3 update 2.17 is that “the operating stability of some online PS3 titles has been improved”.
