After launching update 3.70, which added only a few functionality features including the ability to share recommendations for PlayStation store items, PlayStation announced via Twitter yet another non-mandatory update which will improve your console’s stability in certain areas.
A new, non-mandatory PS3 firmware update, v3.73, is now available. Stability during use of certain PS3 format software has been improved.

Well 1 step closer to live tweeting I guess? I’d really like some Cross-Game Chat though. I hope to god that PS4 has it if PS3 never gets it. Really much more fun with party chat ;D

I know that bud, but usually you can’t play online when there are mandatory updates to be made… and I did, maybe it went live after I stopped… I’ll check it out in a minute.

@Pedro he meant is a non-mandatory update you dont have to update if you dont want to

yeah i never bother with the non-mandatory updates.. just wait till the mandatory one comes along and it’ll do them both.

Cross Game chat can’t work. Physical impossible with the current model design it’s not something they could retroactively add. not that I understand why anyone would talk to someone not in the game they’re already playing. It would just be nice if every game supported voice chat and as far as I know there are still games coming out that don’t and that is the problem.
