The next PS3 firmware update has sneaked up on us, with Version 2.53 confirmed to be available today, November 26,2008.

Don't get too excited though, not that we ever do, because v2.53 will simply add a full-screen mode for any Adobe Flash Player content that you play through the Internet browser and will also added support for Adobe Flash Player 9.

There's also be a number of minor tweaks, including security patches and a new power saving option, in which you can set it up so that the PS3 console and wireless controllers will turn off automatically after a certain period of inactivity.

On a similar note, Konami has also updated Metal Gear Online today with a few added extras including stealth deathmatches, a new No Headshot rule and an Interval mode, allowing gamers to practice their skills without affecting their statistics.

The Metal Gear Online update accompanies the new expansion, MEME, which adds new characters and three new maps.
