I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I noticed that the clock on the PS3 was an hour ahead, and stayed that way after changing it via the internet. I had the "Daylight Saving" option selected instead of "Standard," so when I changed it, it became correct (and would update online to a correct time as well).
I thought the option was for whether your area uses DST, but I guess it refers to whether the time in your area is currently DST or Standard time. So, do I have to change this every six months to keep the clock correct?

I've been having issues after viewing a flash 9 or higher enabled site. Everytime I exit the browser, it hangs and I have to use the off button on the console because the controller won't do it.
Anyone have the same issue?

Is this all it adds? If so, what PS3 game(s) did it fix? Other than that, it seems like a very minor tweak that will take way too long to apply.

Well, got my new PS3 hooked up yesterday. All I have done so far is update software, connect to PSN to create account and watched a BluRay.
Does anyone know anything about DNS errors? I got a few when trying to update software and connect to PSN. I would just try again and it would work.
Please feel free to send me a friend invite!

Several updates have had a note about compatibility or quality of PS3 games being improved, but they never tell you which games are affected.
