Sony has released a firmware update for the PlayStation 3, version 2.43. This update is different from others in that it will not ask users outside of Japan to download it upon signing into the PSN. If you do live in Japan then apparently the update is compulsory. You can choose to install the update anyway, if you live anywhere outside Japan, by going to the System Update under Settings on the XMB.
A rough translation of the official Japanese PlayStation website seems to state the update adds the ability for Japanese users to rent Anime episodes and/or films. The official PlayStation.Blog states:
Users outside of Japan do not need to perform this update if your PS3 system software is on version v2.41 or later. However if you do perform the update, it will not cause any issues with your system or add any new functionality.
So it seems like a pointless update for most people, unless of course you are on a Firmware version of 2.41 or earlier.
