Attention PS3 Gamers! You'll be glad to hear that there is a new patch out for Call of Duty: Black Ops that incorporates all of the Xbox 360 1.08 updates that we missed out on and then some. While the PSN network was offline we missed out on a patch, but now we got it plus some extras and we're all up to date with Xbox gamers in that department. Still waiting on that DLC though!

For a full list of what this patch entails just check out the dots below, we got this straight from over at the official Call of Duty Forums under the Playstation 3 section.
(Xbox gamers, you also can head online to download patch 1.09 and we marked what the new fixes were for you as well as included the old ones from your patch 1.08.)
