PS3 firmware update

[Dolby]

I don't wanna brick my brothers PS3, so I just wanna confirm that this is the correct address to get the official UK update?

That'll do...

If you're very concerned, do it via the XMB directly.

Is it chipped? If not, then official update site should be o.k.

chipped... ps3?

No its not chipped or modded ...

XMB?

Cross media bar. i.e directly from the PS3 itself. The PS3 will go to the correct site and download it itself.

Thanks ... but I can't get it to attach to the internet as yet Part of my attempts are updating all firmware and drivers I have ... including the PS3. I have to do it manually

My concern is that different regions in the world may have different firmware, which can tempory brick the unit (I tried a Spanish firmware on my Linksys router once : I needed to go through online help).

I'm guessing we have the Eurpoen (UK) version so it wouldn't be a hassle. Where did you guys

a) Buy your units
b) What link to upgrade?

The UK firmware and US firmware are both fine.
