Well, now it's crossed the Pacific. We also have the PS3 FW1.11 available from Sony, available for download, unless you've already gotten your update via hooking up to the PlayStation Network. Which leads to a Google video by Flareworks Productions who was severely pissed that he was forced to update the firmware in order to access his PS Net friends list.
His feathers are ruffled because it was sort of out of the blue for him, and that "they (Sony) did not tell me what the changes were in version 1.11 before, during or after the update." Well, whoever capped that Google video, now that Sony has added the details of firmware 1.11 on their website, and we are copying it here for the benefit of our QJ readers, we hope that answers all your questions and concerns.
It would be nice of Sony to include at least a cover page before each FW update via Network, telling you what's going to be changed, at least for disclosure reasons. (And it would be nice to elaborate on some of the "new features" they add with each update). Until then, that's why we exist, you see.
From this point on, all text comes from SCEA web.
