PSNGamers waking up to use their PlayStation 3 this morning will have found themselves signed out of PSN, with a new firmware update available to download.

 The new firmware, version 3.42, doesn’t add anything fun for gamers but, according to Sony, is a “minor” update that will add “ additional security features” to PlayStation 3. Whether this has anything to do with the recent PS3 ‘hacking‘ claims remains to be seen.
