It is a firmware update and was included in the latest release which was version 2.10

To update:

"If your PS3 is online, the most straightforward way to update the system software is using the PLAYSTATION 3 itself. Navigate to Settings on the PS3 Home Menu, select [System Update] and then [Update via Internet] and your PS3 will check if you have the latest version. If not, it will download and install it for you."

Or if you haven't connected your PS3 to the internet:

"Visit eu.playstation.com for the very latest version of the update data. Follow the on-screen instructions to download to your PC.

To transfer the update data to your PLAYSTATION 3, save the file to a PS3 compatible storage device such as Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, USB drive or PSP.

Before starting, use your PC to create a folder named 'PS3' on the storage media or USB device. Within the folder, create a folder named 'UPDATE' (This folder name is case sensitive and must appear in all capital letters). Once the UPDATE folder has been created, download the PS3 system software update to this location.

Once the update data has been saved, disconnect the storage device and connect it to your PS3 via the slots under the slot cover or the USB connectors depending on the device you're using.

Once connected, navigate to Settings on the PS3 Home Menu, select [System Update] and then [Update via Storage Media]. Select the connected device and your PS3 will install the update data stored there."

I got there in the end. Firstly I googled found the update savied it to DVD+R and thought that would auto play but it didn't. I didn't think of a memory stick.

I then had to connect it to the internet wirelessly. Which took a while cause I forgot my password.

But when I finally got it connected it was easy and it's now playing divx.

Thanks you saved me some money.
