well just go under settings, and i believe the first one is "system update" (if not, you could find it easily on the xmb (cross media bar))
if the system is the latest software, it will say there is no need to update
if you do need to though, there are two options
1. download the update on the computer onto a portable memory source (memory stick...)
2. if you have an internet connectionset up, just hit "download via internet" and it will begin downloading. after that it wals you through it (this way is much easier)

also, if you dont have an internet connection set up , just go network settings and its easy to figure out from there
