Sony's PS3 gets new system software update, 19 years after release


Sony has just released a new update for its PS3 console, which turns 19 this year.

Updates of this sort are an annual occurrence, as the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) - it's a copyright-protection technology that requires a key to be set on both the disc and the console in order to play new films. Xbox currently has more first-party games coming to PlayStation 5 this year than Sony. Presumably Sony will continue to release such updates on PS3 until it stops supporting the console.
