[Update 1: Doesn't appear Sony included notes with this firmware update. Most likely a few bug fixes have been included. If we find out more, you can be sure that we'll update.]
[Update 2: A post on the PlayStation.Blog lets us know that this is just a bug fix update. Specifically, online play for some PS3 games have been improved. Nothing to see here, folks.]
[Thanks, Drew!]

Because it's such an odd point release my guess is small bug fixes and compatibility for something released in the store tomorrow.
I'm downloading now.

17 (number)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
17 (seventeen) is the natural number following 16 and preceding 18. In English, it is the smallest number with nine letters when spelled out.
Seventeen is the 7th prime number. The next prime is nineteen, with which it forms a twin prime. 17 is the sum of the first four primes. 17 is the sixth Mersenne prime exponent, yielding 131071. 17 is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1.
*shruggs* there you have it. Something about Eisenstein prime.

My PS3 has worked flawlessly until today, the day of this firmware update. My HDMI just suddenly stopped outputting video today when I switched to its feed on my TV, still works fine on component. Tried the cable with my laptop and the cable works fine, just not sure why suddenly one day my HDMI output stops showing video - then an hour later I notice this update hits. Strange.

That's crazy.. The exact same thing happened to my PS3 last night.. It wouldn't output video over HDMI.. It was just black. I reset everything to default, which didn't fix it. Then I tried the PS3 in my computer monitor via a DVI->HDMI adapter, and it worked.. So I hooked everything back up to my TV and it was working again.
That seems like a bit of a coincidence that we both had the exact same issue a night apart.

I had exactly the same problem two days ago. How weird is that?! My PS3 stopped outputting over HDMI, and I had to turn it off, re-start it and re-do my video and audio settings.

Perhaps unrelated.. but I actually just updated my PlayOnline (PS2 application for Final Fantasy XI) today on my 60GB PS3. As a result, I temporarily lost PS2 compatibility and all my Bluetooth accessories profiles were lost. Even my SIXAXIS controllers wouldnt connect.
It was very weird.

It add, well i'm not 100% sure. But what i noticed, is that the new firmware add some backward compatibility, for some games, that before had errors, or didn't play.
For example, now i can play Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, on my Ps3, before i couldn't.
I think, it may be because of the new MGS pack that is coming. I heard that there was not problem, with the MGS1, and MGS2, but the 3 one, was having some problems. Well, i hope i'm right. ^^
