Sony have finally released the long-awaited updated as part of their roll out of the restoration of the Playstation Network (PSN). The only trouble is that demand seems to be outstripping their servers. It appears the best way to update the PS3 at this moment is to download the firmware onto a USB stick, and to update from that. Not only is it quicker (it can take up to 20 mins to download it), many people are experiencing time-outs due to hight demand, so you may not even be able to get it.
The best place to get it, is the playstation blog. There is one section for the EU and one for the USA.

No news yet as to what other updates it may contain, other than the promised security updates from Sony.
It should be noted that in the UK, as of 2:00 am Sunday 15 May, Playstation Network is still not operational. The roll out will begin slowly, and may not have reached the UK. Probably best to go to bed anyways, and try in the morning.
