PS3 System Update
Sony is about the launch a new firmware update for the PS3. Available for download tomorrow, the new firmware 2.80 will be a basic update. No major new additions will be made available. There are a few fixes to increase performance such as faster Trophy synchronization and faster XMB loads. Sony will, of course, make an official post either tonight about Firmware 2.80 or early tomorrow to let us know it’s coming later in the day.
 
The update will have one new feature PS3 owners wants. Sadly, it won't be immediately useful to us. It may be a new feature to the messaging and game invite system, but, this isn't 100% certain, yet.
 
As it was reported by TheGamerAccess, Sony has updated their press site with a 2.80 debug file. It's not set for download but Sony usually adds these a day before or the day of the real release.
 
It’s nothing to get excited about. It’s just a typical update.
