Check the download links after the jump
From the PS Blog:
First off, once you download the new system software, you will be asked to accept a change to our Terms of Service. In an effort for more unity between PlayStation Network (PSN) and other Sony Entertainment Network services, your “PSN Account” will now be named “Sony Entertainment Network Account.” Please note that this change is one in name only and will not change the PSN that you know and love. You’ll still play games online, still have access to the latest downloadable games and add-ons, and still experience a wide variety of movies, sports and music across PSN.
With this system software update (v4.10), we’ll also be updating the PS3 Internet Browser with improved display speed.
Be sure to download the proper file for your PS3. Japan’s update file isn’t the same as the US or EU update file.
Here is the download link. Note the region:
- US Official Download Link 4.10
- EU Official Download Link 4.10
- Japan Official Download Link 4.10
- Au/NZ Download Link 4.10
