It looks like a firmware update to the PS3 is coming tomorrow, and the contents have been detailed by a user over on NeoGAF. Update 4.20 doesn’t contain anything revolutionary, but it offers a number of fixes and accommodations that’ll likely be of use to most PS3 users.

If only we could DELETE multiple saves now.

Took me 45 minutes to go through my 5 gigs of New Vegas saves.
