I thought this was a thread updating games not updating the firmware...if it's the latter...there's really nothing to complain about...

Doesn't the auto-updating for games only check like the last 5 you have played? It's pretty useless for most games I play, since they're older and don't usually get new updates/patches. I can understand if it's a brand new game that tends to be on the glitchy side, like Dead Island.

What I do is play the game without an update so its included in the list of updates, so that next time I play, the game will be updated without me having to wait.

So how does the auto-update feature actually work?

I actually thought it only had to do with firmware updates and didn't think of game updates but that's pretty cool.
