Sony’s PS3 firmware updates might be generating quite a bit of negative publicity for Sony recently, but that hasn’t stopped it from moving forward and coming up with updated firmware versions. The PlayStation Blog has officially announced that the 3.30 firmware for the PS3 will be available shortly and will be a mandatory update. There will be some improvements to the Trophies system, allowing you to brag more on the PlayStation Network, but the more important thing is that the update prepares your PS3 for some upcoming new features, most notably 3D stereoscopic gaming. We’ve briefly touched on 3D gaming on the PS3 back at CEATEC before, so it’s good to see that it’s slowly making way to the living rooms.
