Those lucky few able to get a PS3 in Japan on launch day will have a pleasant surprise when that get that panini maker out of the box: A firmware update. Yep, Sony's Japanese site released a press release stated that there will be a software update on November 11th to allow "customers to be able to utilize the Playstation Network functions." Hmmm. Firmware updates to fix bugs and add features on the day the product is launched? Two-words: half baked. Brian Ashcraft
