Download ps3 update 3.56

Most people who tried to connect to their PlayStation 3 today must have noticed that their game console needed an update. The 3.56 firmware was released last nightt and you are advised to download as soon as possible.
Do not expect anything new from the firmware other than a minor security patch that has the ability to block homebrew.

In other terms this is obviously a first step taken by Sony to counter the major hack that PlayStation suffered in early 2011.
