Sigh another of these I hate it when patch notes are not available.

Looks like it should be 4.55. I went to the Japanese page in the link, let Chrome translate it, and

■ The main function that is updated in version 4.55

Yeah every time I want to go online (which I admit is not all that often) on my PS3 I tend to find yet another update that is required before I can sign on. I guess I understand the reasoning behind it when you want to access the PSN store and all of that but if you just want a quick shot at GTA online or something (maybe even a quick go at your buddies scores in SSX) then it tends to be quite a pain.

Good thing I saw it before I left the office. Downloading it from here now, because it is 195MB (which I can do at home, but why would I, if I can just do it from here). Will install it with a memory stick.

Oh 195MB isn't too bad. And if I don't use the PS tonight, it'll download in the morning automatically anyway

Cool! Came home and turned on my ps3 and it says downloaded update 4.55. Go to system settings to install it. Auto update is awesome

No idea. Probably nothing noticable
