I can guess that most of the people who are reading this have either a PlayStation 3 or an Xbox 360. I can also guess that a good majority of you update your console to the latest firmware whenever it is available. I would also like to believe that each and every one of you would have faith in that Microsoft and Sony would know what they are doing when they implement a new firmware. However, for quite a few people, the last statement may have caused a burst of laughter or a snort of anger.
