Can anyone tell me how to connect my playstation 3 to my PC to update it's software, had it since 2008 and never updated it so now I cannot play the new games.

Sony say's to download the updates to a thumb drive and then start my PC in safe mode, others say just to plug it in via usb to the modem router combo, have the same problem with my Sony Bravia TVs and blue ray players, have one 46" TV and one 55" TV,

Contacted Sony before about this and used the disc method but it never worked. I do not want to play online, just connect via HDMI cable to my TV and play my move and other games.

    Connect it to a modem / router. Its got LAN or wireless ?

    Depends what you have to do to update it. Some devices, you have to download the update in windows, then run an install file, then it'll extract the files, / you copy them to a USB flash drive. Or it'll extract the files to a USB flash drive

    Others like bluray players, TV's you download the update, copy it to a usb flash drive, then plug it into a USB port on the TV or whatever, go to whatever menu where it says firmware update. Then select it. It looks for the update then installs it

    Look on the Sony site on how to update the TV's and bluray player
