for ps3 there are 2 types of updates: firmware and game update (patch)
firmware is usually shipped with a game (not necessarily the latest)
ps3 prompts to update the firmware if it is connected to psn network and there is a new version on the server
normally people just download the update using computer and then transfer it to any usb drive to update the ps3
ps3 firmware is not incremental; so you can just update straight to the latest version
connecting to the psn requires you to have the latest firmware
game patches is downloaded according to the disc region (isnt affected with console region/psn id region)
once you pop in the game disc, it will prompt you to update firmware first (in disc, if your firmware is older than in the disc)
then it will check with the server if there are any patches
nothing you can do about the slow speed, except cycling your IP (assuming you use screamyx)
or download the patches using pc (proxy app). the details are in the first page. ctrl-f -> proxy
Yeah. When I played Fallout 3 for the first time (when I was yet to update my PS3), it updated the firmware. Once it was done, it updated the game.
When I checked for System Update, it updated to the latest version. So yeah, Fallout 3 did update my firmware but not the latest, but it did update to a newer one than the one originally on my PS3. Had to manually update in order to get the latest firmware.
As for my internet connection speed (Streamyx), I believe it is the fastest at night. During the day, it is really dreadfully slow.
