From the playstation.com site:

The PLAYSTATION®3 system software version 2.01 (with 2.00) update includes the following:

  • New for 2.01: System stability during use of some PLAYSTATION®3 format software has been improved.
  • New for 2.01: System stability has been improved for some operations, including the use of the Internet browser and the information board (Information Board).
  • New for 2.01: System stability during output of upscaled PlayStation®2 format software images has been improved.*1
  • New for 2.01: Functionality of the [Remote Start] feature has been changed to prevent an unintentional remote start. *2

*1 Applies only to models that support playback of PlayStation®2 format software. >See details

*2 If [Remote Start via the Internet] is enabled, the PS3TM system may turn on unintentionally, depending on the type of router in use. (In this case a remote play connection cannot be established.) To avoid unintentional power-up of the system, [Remote Start via the Internet] may be disabled automatically if a remote play connection is not established within a certain amount of time after the system is turned on.

---------------------

So maybe the AC freezes will be fixed.

I have heard 360 owners having freezing problems, so maybe its the game and not the ps3.

May I ask a couple of questions about the firmware updates.

1. Is it possible to download the updates on the PC and transfer them to PS3 via micro cruzer (portable hard drive)?

2. Do all the updates have everything included from the previous updates? For exampe, 2.01 would have everything from 1.0 - 2.0...

You can download and install 2.01 directly even if you have not upgraded your firmware since launch. I skipped like two upgrades and had no problems afterwards.
