[Original Story] According to a post on You must login or register to view this content., a PlayStation 3 firmware update is incoming on June 26th. Going by the past 50 or so firmware updates, this will A) do very little to upgrade the PS3, and B) release around midnight EST (tonight).
How this sneaky bloke knows what Sony has planned is anyone's guess, but mysteriously, the changelog looks strikingly similar to what Sony puts out themselves shortly before the firmware is set to go live.
The changelog proves theory A:

Being able to copy multiple saves at once rather than one at a time should have been there from the start, glad that was added. I also hear this update fixed issues a lot of people were having with 4.10/4.11 such as freezing when opening games and random black screens for no apparent reasons.
