Attention PlayStation 3 owners: guess what you’re getting? A firmware update!! Yea!! What’s that you say? You aren’t surprised that your shiny black PS3 will need to be updated the next time you turn it on? Ok then, fine. Be that way.

Well, just so you know what Sony is feeding your machine this time, the answer is not much. Firmware update 3.55 isn’t packing much more than a security update. While this particular update isn’t huge (though it still takes a good five minutes somehow), we thought you might like to know about it so you could prepare yourself, emotionally, to be parked the next time you fire up your system. I guess you can make a cup of coffee while you wait…
