PS3 games don't release with the FW on disc. Most of them don't require them except online only titles, but if you're buying online only games then you must have no problem connecting online to install FW already.
As far as FW and games go, I've read people not being able to play AC1 properly until updating to a certain FW. This was around the time of the game's release and the FW was released before the game. I've also heard something related to FW about Ratchet:ToD but I can't remember what was stated.
