PlayStation System Update Version 3.00

photics-ps3-thumbnailToday was a busy day for me. When I want to relax, I like to bust to revised versions of games that I used to play 15 years ago – like Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Ah, the early 90’s… when Capcom had trouble counting to three. Yet, my relaxation would be postponed. My PlayStation 3 wouldn’t let me online until I ran a system update.
