PlayStation Network operations director Eric Lempel today revealed a number of improvements to be made in the latest firmware updates for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable.

"Taking into account customer feedback and some internal testing, we will be making available in the next few days a firmware update for the PS3 (1.93) that fixes the network disconnect issue that some of you have experienced as a result of downloading Firmware 1.92. In addition, we are adding a new firmware update for PSP (3.71) as well, which adds many features that readers of this blog have requested”, said Lempel, in a post on the company’s official blog.  

One of the new features mentioned for the PSP will be continuous growth of themes available through PlayStation.com, the official PSP website and through the PlayStation Store.

Stay tuned to PSU.com for further coverage on improvements made in the upcoming firmware upgrades.

    By downloading it with a computer on the Playstation site, putting it on a memory card and then you can figure out the rest from there.

    I like how Sony keeps there firmware up to date.   Im not having issues getting disconnected because I dont use the PS3 to play games, only to watch those exclusive BD titles.  I am still waiting (Not much longer) for DTS-HD Master Audio update to PS3(Fox movies coming out in less then a month).
