    Any way to tell if a PS3 you're going to buy has 3.41 or lower FW?

    Like on the outside of the box or something?

    I'm gonna go pick up 1 or 2 before they disappear and want to make sure.

    Thanks.

    I just bought a slim 250GB with UFC bundle at Walmart yesterday.

    It came with firmware 3.30

    I SERIOUSLY doubt you need to worry about the firmware on the new machines for at least a month. You can buy a new one anywhere and there's no way it will have 3.42 or higher.

    Hehe, I'd have to bet it would have the latest firmware to minimize pre 3.42 systems in the world.

    If it is anything like how Nintendo does with the Wii, unfortunately it will come back with the latest firmware.

    I don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised.
