Update: PS3 firmware 4.41 is now live on Network Update. Download it here.
Sony has taken to Twitter to announce that PS3 firmware 4.41 will be available shortly. As you’d expect, this software update is nothing more than a blip on the radar. The usual (and vague) “improving system stability” is listed as the only change. While bug fixes and the like are important, we suppose with PS4 on the horizon, the time for winding down has come — it seems PS3 updates that add anything of significant value are a thing of the past.

That said, no word on if it’s mandatory or not, but we’ll know soon enough. Expect an update when it goes live with download links as usual.
