The firmware updates for consumer PS3 units are located in a file named PS3UPDAT.PUP. The firmware data can be
downloaded manually from the internet (location: http://www.jp.playstation.com/ps3/update/ ), or automatically by the PS3 if
an internet connection is enabled.
If you are updating manually, place the PS3UPDAT.PUP in location /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP of the memory stick or USB
storage device so the PS3 can find it. Note that you need to do this each time you upgrade your harddrive in the newer PS3
models (because the firmware is partially stored on the harddrive and changing harddrives require system files from firmware
update file to be re-written on to the harddrive).
If this is the case, the PS3 will request this PS3UPDAT.PUP before formatting your new harddrive, and when you have done so,
press "SELECT" and "START" buttons on the controller to tell the PS3 to start reading the firmware file.
The consumer PS3 units checks on the internet for new firmware versions and their location via this address:
http://fus01.ps3.update.playstation.net/update/ps3/list/us/ps3-
updatelist.txt
If your machine is not a United States PS3, substitute the two "us" in the address above with one of the following:
• au for Australia
• be for Belgium
• cn for China
• eu for Europe
• jp for Japan
• kr for Korea
• mx for Mexico
• nl for Netherlands
• ru for Russia
• sa for South Africa
• tw for Taiwan
• uk for United Kingdom
