Here's what you can do:
1. Connect your PSP to your PC.
2. Check if the proper folders are on it's Memory Stick. There is
a folder called PSP which had the following folders
underneath.
GAME
PICTURE
VIDEO
SYSTEM
3. The folder you need is GAME. Go in there and create a subfolder called UPDATE.
4. Go to
www.playstation.com
5. Look for your local site.
6. Look in the PSP section for firmware updates. Here's the link for the most recent firmware update for the USA.
[PSP Firmware 3.80]
* If you need other regional firmware you'll need to look for it yourself or tell me where you from.
7. Download the file in the above link to a convenient place such as your desktop. Then copy it to the recently created UPDATE folder.
8. Safely disconnect your PSP.
9. Start up your PSP and go to the Game section of it, select Memory Stick. You should now see the file.
10. Open the file by pressing X. The update procedure starts. Be sure to follow the on screen instructions.

[Updating PSP via PC]Warning: do not use firmware other then placed on Sony PlayStation's official site. For it might damage your system and it will never boot again. Also make sure the battery is fully charged (a charge of 50% will not do, the update utilty won't allow the update). Since it can take an few minutes you best connect it to it's power supply.
NEVER interupt an update by shutting your unit down, removing battery, removing stick, removing power. The damage done is not covered by Sony's warranty.
About the issue for the connection with your PS3 unit. It's true, you need one of the most recent firmwares.
