Sony Releases PS3 2.17 Firmware Update

[Jimmy 2004]

Sony has updated the PS3’s firmware taking it to version 2.17. Unfortunately there are very few improvements with this update – under the main features in this version Sony lists only “The operating stability of some PLAYSTATION 3 format software has been improved.” The simplest way to update the firmware is via the PS3's system menu.

Final Fantasy XI did, but I don't remember any other titles.
