Call Sony and ask them to send you the upgrade disc, or download yourself.

if you have broadband, connect the ps3 to your router with a cat5 patchcord, or enable wireless if you have WiFi. Go to system settings and choose update software. If you have never done this before, depending on how old your system is, you may be missing many firmware updates, currently 3.0

No. Just use the link hatt left for you, and save to usb, then pop it in the usb connection. Cheapest, fastest and easiest way if you do not want to connect it to the internet.

All you have to do is hookup an ethernet source using a hard line or a WiFi. Updates take about 5 minutes to download and 10 minutes to install.

The newest update is 3.01, released yesterday...
Obviously they found something in the 3.0 update that was released last week...

Bad performance with select games; namely Uncharted.

so it looks like the best way to keep updated is to hoook up permanently to the internet, how often are updates put out??

Keep in mind, you can use Wi-Fi. You don't have to hardwire it.
Updates generally only come out about once a month at most. And I think I'm probably overestimating about that.

About once every 2-3 months is usually the average frequency.

Had a feeling it was less than that. Must be the halo effect have having just done 3.0 and now 3.01 shortly after. :lol:
