This update took a long time for my Aibo to download. It was a huge update. Aibo is so much quieter now even on my hardwood floors. In fact Aibo no longer makes the stomping and walks almost silently!

It’s definitely worth installing if you’re on the fence about reconnecting a second hand jp unit.
