Reports today suggest that the PlayStation 3 will be getting new soon; next month, if sources are to be believed.

According to Eurogamer, of firmware 2.70 arriving this week is just that, the patch instead set to land in April.

Sony have yet to offer any official word on the topic, although developers do reveal that the update is now with them.

It is unclear what new features will usher in with this new firmware, but if it is unveiled at GDC we expect there to be more than just new security patches. We shall see.
