Here's the easiest way: Download the firmware update from Sony's official website onto a USB drive. Create a folder structure like this: USB > PS3 > UPDATE. Save the update file in the UPDATE folder. Insert the USB drive into your PS3 and go to Settings > System Update > Update via Storage Media. Follow the on-screen instructions. Voila!

Just do it directly over Wi-Fi from your PS3. No need for USB drives.

Yo, just grab a USB stick, make a folder named 'PS3', then another inside called 'UPDATE', and drop the firmware there. Plug it into your PS3, head to Settings > System Update > Update via Storage Media. Done and done.
