hi guys, another newbie here who got the ps3 yesterday at the launch. having had experience using the psp, i found the initial setup a breeze. However, when i wanted to register to psn, the system mentioned that i needed to do a system update first.

invoking the system update feature, it said the new firmware was 2.43. ok, so i then proceeded to do a system update. It connected to server, then after 30mins, only had 1% progress, then stopped with an error connecting to server. why is this so? i tried 3 times and still can't get the blasted thing updated! pls help

Thanks GamersFamilia and SSJBen... am downloading it onto my PC now.

Oh, another really silly question - I was going through the instructions for Resistance, it seems there should be a little compartment next to the BD slot, which flips open to reveal MS, SD and a variety of input slots. Err.... how come mine doesnt flip open!? Also checked the user manual and there's nothing on it. The only inputs are the USB slots at the bottom of this hidden lid ???
