Good job Chris, it was a good week :)
I have a few questions: first will there be free dynamic themes on the PS Store in the future? because in my country there is no PSN cards & credit cards are not expected by the store, & I really liked to get the LBP & PixelJunk themes they were very nice.
Second, It’s kind of an aesthetic question about the new PS3 boxart styles, they look really nice & show that it’s a PS3 game more clearly than the old one, is the new games from now on have those style? Ratchet & Clank and GoW Collection have those & yesterday I noticed Uncharted 2 is getting that too.

Although not one of Sony’s updates has effected my PS3 (knocks on wood) I really feel sorry for everybody being affected. Heres to Sony for addressing the issue right away and just maybe they will have a solution that will rectify this new firmware update sooner rather than later. Also I would have to agree with most of the PS3 community about the grey bars that are now behind the people on the friends list. If they are not going to be used in anyway, like additional stats or information, then please Sony make them look better or get rid of them entirely. Ugly grey bars does not help the XMB look any better.

That God Of War remake thing is really really cool of you guys. Being priced at $40 is PERFECT, thanks and I can’t wait for it. :) It will be hard choosing to play other games over this! :) (2 platinums! :o)
Just a side note, why doesn’t this site form to my iPod touch anymore? It’s the normal web page version, not the easy to use one.
Hope you look into that, thanks. :)

I almost forgot one more thing I did notice about the 3.0 update. What ever happened to the “Playstation 3″ title that would come up right when you start a game? I really liked that and now all we get is a flash of blue light instead. Why take that away and leave us with a flash of blue light before a game loads up? Just wondering becuase it is a lot less professional the way that it is now all well I guess my rant is over about firmware 3.0. Now I must go make the money so off to work I go.

yeah this was a good week overall. i like the goodies that firmware 3.0 brings.however,the firmware has a few bugs like for example: is making my ps3 think that there’s no ethernet connection when in fact i’m connected and my dsl is working fine when i hook up to the the computer…that has happened to me twice already.also, i just upgraded my ps3 to a 320 gb hard drive and the same happened to the hardrive the ps3 was saying that it wasnt connected but it was!
lastly, my 60gb(now 320gb)ps3 doesnt recognize videos that it used to do before this update.oh and i have xpirienced a few freezes while multitasking too
but like i said i am digging this update just wish sony will fix the bugs promptly!

Recently there was a report by SquareTrade that cited the PS3 failure rate at 10%, higher than industry standard. Will Sony respond to the YLOD problem, maybe by doing the fair thing and offering a 3 year warranty and some sort of recompense to people who bought a faulty 60GB? It would be a nice show of goodwill. Thanks.

By the way… congratulations on becoming the best selling console in America… finally. Say it pretty close, but I hope future sales will push the PS3 more to the number 1 position of best selling console. Now the rest of the world.
Second of all I hope more collections will follow like God of War. I’m personally hoping for a Ico / SoTC collection or Dark Cloud collection. Latter most likely will never happen but a girl may dream :D Also other PS2 games I hope they’ll be ported to the PS3. If the PS3 won’t get the PS2 BC back, then why not porting the games and bring them in HD.
