It takes a few minutes for each step if you have an online connection
no you do not have to pay to update it.. its free
When you do the updates they tell you that they can not be uninstalled. Downgrade of an update is the same thing as uninstalling the update. Once the PS3 has been updated you can not get it back to the old programming. I don't believe you can even install a new harddrive and download the original PS3 operating system without the updates.
There is three ways to do this by a (1) Game that comes with the update, (2) a computer and playstations web site you can download the update to a thumbstick or sd card and put it into you ps3 and retrieve the update. (3) This is the easy way to get an update You first must have hi-speed internet connection then go to (settings) and then (system update) icon and it will do the update automatically. Hope this helped; SGT Weinbrenner
The update you need to download is UNDER SYSTEM SETTINGS BUT AT THE TOP TOP,, FIRST ONE: if it says SYSTEM UPDATE and has this rotating icon then that's what you need to download. I HOPE IT HELPED BYE-BYE < 3

When the new patch is out, the ps3 will ask you to update it
You can not revert the PS3 update
Yes, you can use a flash drive to update your PS3. To do this, download the system update file from the PlayStation website, then create a folder named "PS3" and a subfolder named "UPDATE" on the flash drive. Place the update file inside the "UPDATE" folder, and then connect the flash drive to your PS3 to perform the update from the System Update option in the settings menu.
you need to update the system. then it will install the new update. or it could be the smudges on the disk
You can only update the PS3 manually either by initiating it from the System Update menu in the XMB (via internet or from an insertable storage media), or responding to an update message when you login to your PSN account. Either way, the update shows its progress on your screen as it happens, and turning your PS3 off in the middle of an update can cause a lot of problems (loss of data type problems).
No, but there are system updates which apparently crash your PS3. SO I would recommend you stick to the original Sony Updates and wait for some reviews of the update before updating because some people claim that their PS3's were bricked by the 3.21 system update.
A patch is a update
PS3 is on Update 4.21 released on July 6, 2012. Update 4.11 was February 16, 2012. System Update 3.10 was November 19, 2009
Well first you have to update your system
By asking the administrator.
put the jailbreak on your jump drive then plugin your jump drive into your ps3 then turn on your ps3 then go to system update and click update via storage media agree to terms and install then your done.
You might need to update your PS3 if that is what you have. To update offline put in your game and a message will say you need to update to version. To play online go to settings and select "update system" to update it.
