PS3 firmware update 2.35 improves stabilty of some PS3 titles... but not GTA IV?

Silver Mirror | May 15, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Today Sony released firmware update 2.35 for the Playstation 3, the minor update according to Sony fixes stability to several PS3 games. Considering Rockstar's announcement about the freezing problems in GTA IV being Sony's problem you would think this patch would solve the issues.

Unfortunately so far there appears to be no change, however Sony have said that they have identified the issue and are working on a solution. So maybe in the next one?
PlayStation 3 firmware update 2.35 is now available. According to the US PlayStation Blog, v2.35 is "a relatively minor update to improve stability of some PS3 titles." We're willing to wager a handful of stolen cars that "some PS3 titles" is a better way of saying Grand Theft Auto IV

Update: As noted in the comments of the blog by Sony's Al de Leon, this upgrade does not fix GTA IV. Said de Leon, "I just want to clarify that this upcoming firmware update isn't related to GTA IV. For those of you who may still have an issue playing the game on your PS3, we have identified a solution that should resolve the issue. You can contact SCEA Consumer Services for support."

    Well GTA hasn't frozen for me since the patch Rockstar released. So I don't mind much.

    Why is this in the Xbox 360 forum news?

    Anyway, I haven't played on the PS3 version but it must be infuriating to still not have the problems fixed

    Well this news concerns GTA IV, which is on both systems. I don't know about you but I would be interested in news concerning a game I own no matter whether it was on my system or not.

    Though I admit it might have been smarter to just put it for PS3, I apologize

      Actually it only talks about GTA4 briefly and mainly talks about the FW update. Which is a Sony thing.
