With an online connection to your PS3 it is easy to download the update and for those without an online connection some Sony PS3 games include updates.see related link for Update using disc media
I've included a link to Playstation support on how to update from a computer that starts with the following information:
"You can download the PS3 System Software update data using a personal computer (PC), copy the update data to the PS3 system's hard disk and then perform the update.
Note: you can also update the PS3 System Software using the System Update method or by using a disc that contains the update data."
The link goes on to explain the different procedures to Download the System Software Update after a list of the required items that is reprinted below:
Required Items:
- PlayStation®3 system.
- SIXAXIS™ wireless controller connected to the PS3 with a USB cable.
- You must have the SIXAXIS wireless controller connected to the PS3 system directly via a USB cable before you attempt to do a System Update. If you do not have a USB cable to connect the SIXAXIS wireless controller , do not attempt to do the System Update.
- Computer/PC with internet access.
- Storage media* (Memory Stick™, SD Memory Card, Compact Flash®) or a USB Mass Storage device such as a USB flash drive with least 110 MB of free space.
- *An appropriate USB adaptor (not included) is required to use storage media with some models.
