We're not sure if you can really engage in downloadationism, but without the downloadation, there is no -ism to -ation and there cannot, nay, shall not, be any PS3 firmware version 1.70 for you. You may be wondering what has changed in this surprise update -- we were, too. Luckily one of our tipsters saved us the research and let us know directly.
You can now download the PlayStation software from the PS-Store and play them directly on the PS3, if you don't have a PSP.
You can use saved data for the PlayStation software on the PSP (so, saves from the PS3 transfer over to the PSP?)
You can use the vibration function of accessories that are for use with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 format software.
This addresses two very big issues many people have had with the PlayStation Network and the PS3 as a whole -- downloading the PS-Classics and being able to play them on the PS3 and utilizing that old school vibration. So, if you've got a USB connector for the Dual Shock 2, let us know if it works. Because I'm too poor to go get a USB connector and would probably not be able to find one.
