What is this PS3 System Software Update Disc? How it was made available? Are there more like this?
While browsing Reddit, I found this picture of an European CD meant to update the System Software of a PS3 to 2.00.
- What is this disc used for? (I ask because it seems pointless, as the CECHGXX console that it came with has System Software 2.30 preinstalled)
- How it was made available? (I feel that it might have been available in some other form like via mail)
- Are there more discs like this? (either the same disc for other regions or more discs with recent software versions)
