I can't DL it, and I don't seem to be alone. It gets to 10-15% and then says there is a connection error. I've tried six times.

I really don't care about the update, but I would like to purchase Pixeljunk eden which I cannot get online to do without the update. I need psychedelic techno plant platforming NOW.

If you're not alone, find out what other people are doing.

Another update!? Goddammit! In the past 6 weeks, I had to update 5 times! What does this update add?

You have had to update 5 times in 6 weeks? There haven't been that many Firmware updates in that span. Unless of course you are counting updates for specific games in that time span.

Mine worked flawlessly. I read about this in IGN and it seems it worked for one of their editors when they tried it a 2nd time.

Did you restart the system and try again?

Had to update when I first got it, on June 13, right out of the box.

Had to update the next week, when I went to the PS Store. I still don't know why.

2.40 came out. I updated that night.

2.41 came out. I updated again, deslite 2.40 working just fine.

Today, or whenever 2.42 came out (I haven't used my PS3 in about a week) I gotta update again!

Maybe it's my connection, but these updates take FOREVER. It's a little frustrating. I had assumed that every time new content was available at the PS Store, I had to sit through an update. One week, I didn't though. Hopefully, downloading while the console is off will become an option soon.

Well I downloaded it about an hour ago no problem.

hmm that's weird. It's because you only just got one and it was behind...just so happened you got it as the new ones were coming out. They had a small one before 2.40 (like a week before) then came 2.41 to fix it for those that it didn't work for and now 2.42. It's not normally like this...you can go months without them. They are adding a lot of things right now though. This one was probably to help some games run better etc.

Don't know why you got one when you went to the Playstation store though. Don't worry it isn't always like this and you don't get one to the tune of once a week every time there is new content.

DLed it last night and worked for me fine. When i was in my old place, I sometimes had trouble updating because of the connection.
