Neil Phillips, this is what I found here "Did you get the update file from the link below that says 3.66? IF you did, that's not the correct version, they updated the pages, but didn't update the link.

And since your PS3 apparently already has 3.66, that file is 3.65 and will get you nowhere.

Use this link to download the correct version, 3.66, and give it another shot.

and here is more info. I am certain once you get the correct version you will be back in business...good luck
