PS3 Firmware 3.01 Released

Firmware 3.01 for the PS3 is available for download. While the details of the release only state that “This is an optional update that improves system stability during use of some PlayStation 3 format software”, Eric Lempel, PlayStation Network Operations confirmed in a comment reply when asked about the issue with Unchartered Drake’s Fortune that:

Yes, this will fix the issues that some users have experienced with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

With the impending release of Unchartered 2: Among Thieves, if you haven’t played the first game now is an excellent time. Especially given the fact it’s one of the PS3’s Greatest Hits titles can you take it home for $29.99.
