Just where would you get the information to update it from without the internet. The system can not be updated without it being downloaded and then loaded into the PS3. I'm not trying to give you a hard time it's just that you need the internet just to read this answer. Sony PlayStation network has a section devoted to system software updates and support. They have PC update method and Disc update method as well as system update method. A link to this information has been added under related links

I have another suggestion for an easy update method if you have a friend with a TV and a WiFi connection. Just take your PS3 over to there house and hook it up and download and update. Because after reading the other methods this seems much easier for someone without the internet. Also you will need the internet just to download the information.

Updating in PS3?

To update your PS3 you will either need an internet connection to your PS3 or access to a computer with internet and a USB memory stick. If you have an internet connection to your PS, simply go to settings on the XMB and select system update at the top of the list. Select download from internet, follow the on screen instructions, and the update will download and install. To install off a memory stick download the update to the stick from Playstation's website. Then plug in the stick into your PS3 and select system update from the XMB. When prompted select install from memory stick and follow the instructions to install the update.

How do you know if the system is updating on a ps3?

You can only update the PS3 manually either by initiating it from the System Update menu in the XMB (via internet or from an insertable storage media), or responding to an update message when you login to your PSN account. Either way, the update shows its progress on your screen as it happens, and turning your PS3 off in the middle of an update can cause a lot of problems (loss of data type problems).

How do you update PlayStation 3?

Just like a PC might run Windows as it's operating system, a PS3 has Firmware. If you have an internet connection on your PS3, you'll get a notification saying that your PS3's firmware needs to update automatically. If not, try pressing "Software Update" at the top of the Settings bar and seeing if there are any new updates. If you don't have an internet connection, you can download the latest firmware from the Sony PS3 website, put it on a flash drive and then insert that into your PS3 and install it from there. http://uk.playstation.com/help-support/ps3/system-software/download/

In a way it will because the PS3 has to be updated to use the Move Controller. After the PS3 is updated the internet will not be needed to use the Move system except for online play of the games.
