why does it take Sony so long to get the update up on their website? it still shows 2.43. my internet is on the fritz at home so i cant download it directly to my PS3 but i would like to download to my Flash drive while im at school and take it home with me to get some of that video sequencing goodness.
come on Sony, get it on there!

I recently got a blutooth headset for my PS3, but the voice chat is AWFUL in Armored Core for Answer. Completely untolerable.
It's frustrating. I don't know if it's my headset (which works fine on my cellphone), the PS3, or the game. Not to mention 90% of PS3 gamers don't even use a headset, probably because one was not included with the PS3. Lame.

I have tried traditional wired cell headsets on XBL and they sound horrible. Nothing sounds better than a headset designed for XBL. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony has a similar problem. As it stands, I have had sub-par experiences with voice on PSN, but then I haven't tried that many times either.

Is there a place I can download this 5.0 firmware from my browser? My PSP's wifi capabilities aren't functioning right now.
