HELP...What firmware do i use on my Jap PS3
Hi,
Im really rubbish with games consoles, and have no idea how to go about updating firmware for my Jap 20GB PS3!!!

Do i have to use Jap firmware or can i use US and UK versions?

I went to play the PAL version of Resistance and it stated that i had to update from 1.30 to at least 1.50!!!! before it would play!

Where do i obtain this.....as i'm desperate to start gaming!!!

Gav.

Sorry...but i'm useless at all this stuff!

Probably Japanese. I'm not sure what UK firmware would do. I know if you update a Wii with firmware from a different region it bricks it, so I would stick to Japanese.
