    I think you don’t need a link anymore. You can initiate the upgrade using your console.

    I updated to 2.43. Now UPnP doesn’t work anymore. How can I revert to 2.42???

    after much testing, I realized 2.43 works perfectly. It was TwonkyVision that needed to be updated to 4.4.9.

    I keep reading that 2.43 doesn’t do anything for users outside of Japan. However, I noticed that after I upgraded my US PS3 to 2.43 I can now resume playing AVI files from the point where I left off. It was annoying before always having to fast forward if I exited an AVI file and went back later to watch it. Anyone else notice this?

    2.43 is supposed to address issues with Socom:Confrontation. Please go to socom.com for cinfirmation.

    Take care.
