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 mediaI'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.

You can not revert the PS3 update
The PS3 does not allow an earlier outdated update to be installed after a newer update for the software has been installed
no you do not have to pay to update it.. its free
after it has been jailbroken you can`t fully unjailbreak it unless you bring it to sony they will fix it for a price as jailbreaking voids the warranty.
Just like a PC might run Windows as it's operating system, a PS3 has Firmware. If you have an internet connection on your PS3, you'll get a notification saying that your PS3's firmware needs to update automatically. If not, try pressing "Software Update" at the top of the Settings bar and seeing if there are any new updates. If you don't have an internet connection, you can download the latest firmware from the Sony PS3 website, put it on a flash drive and then insert that into your PS3 and install it from there. http://uk.playstation.com/help-support/ps3/system-software/download/
The PS3 uses software updates to add features to the PS3 like 3D, Move Controllers, Playstation Plus, Better browsing, or 3rd Party movies sports or other capabilities. They software versions are the system updates and are needed before you can have the new features on your PS3
there is a software update for your ps3 that must be done in order to get this drop....go to settings then go to the very top option "System Settings" than click update via internet than begin your update! (:
If your PS3 won't update software, first check your internet connection to ensure it is stable. Restart the console and attempt the update again. If the problem persists, try updating via USB by downloading the update file from the PlayStation website onto a USB drive, and then install it from the PS3's safe mode. If none of these solutions work, consider restoring the system to factory settings, but be aware this will erase all data.
It takes a few minutes for each step if you have an online connection
You can download it from the PlayStation network if you mean update 3.50 to the PS3. You can also download PS3 software from there if you have replaced your harddrive
