  • why have the past 5 updates been minor? bogus

  • yall need to update how the chating works online we wud all love cross game chat (when would we b able to have cross game chat on ps3?)

  • Nice to see the System is secure and stronger than ever. This is the year of the PlayStation as every year is much better! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication SCEI, SCEA, Mr. Hirai, Mr. Tretton, other key members of the Playstation brand. Thank You Mr. Lempel for the consistant updates, I would hope to see more Playstation 3 features blossom! Thanks

    With Respect, Nick

  • I wounder if this would aid & help DCUO with stability since Update 3 brought crashing up the rear?

  • Greetz: PS3G0D

  • and what is all new in this update

  • all I can say is im glad I upgraded to the 320 model after my 80 died

  • Tell Netflix to update their software to the old version.

  • OMG CROSS GAME CHAT IS STUPID AND FOR LITTLE KIDS…THATS WHY ITS LAME

  • im doin my update now :DD

  • i <3 psn

  • WTF i mean yall whiny and whiny but if you havnt notice all yall whining hasnt gotten anywhere. Yes that stuff would be nice but inserting it into millions of ps3’s is not a easy task that takes just 1 week. plus everyones trying to hack the ps3.As an example think of pshome. Be patient dam.

    p.s. yall do need to speed up the pace and get stuff working.

    Dear Sony Development Team,
    This is Skater_Ricky Firmware Wish List That I hope
    SONY can put these features into the ever so growing
    Powerful PS3.
    ? (Party System) Cross Game Voice Chat
    ? Voice Messaging (30 second – 60 second clip)
    ? Be able to hit the PS button to Answer a Message that a Friend has Sent
    ? Faster IN-GAME XMB.. take out useless options that can’t be used or Better Yet “REVAMP the whole In-game XMB” or just make a better In-game menu all together and deal without the XMB for in-game Menu.
    ? Option to Defragment Hard Drive in the Settings Selection
    ? Custom Avatars
    ? Screenshoot Capture Built into the PS3 OS across all Games and Apps.
    (Part 1)
    Thanks Skater_Ricky :D

  • just downloaded the 3.66 version half an hour ago, now it wont detect any access points.
    Ideas?

  • should add an update where you get to play your own songs instead of the games. useful for gta

  • After 30 min of being on does everyone ps3 slim get hot from the left side? Or is mine going to mess up?

  • Got barely febuary and gets extremely hot

  • so when they say network services what are they referring to? like online connectivity or services like Netflix Qriocity and stuf like that

  • The main thing I hope they tackle is helping those people who are using the Playstation 3 Fat Models in terms of stability. Games like LA Noire or Uncharted 2 which are giving our models problems in terms of overheating and the like. Personally, I’ve really been waiting to play LA Noire. Yet, after hearing about hanging and the like for the fat model, it really gave me doubts upon buying the game. My PS3 has been here since October 2008, and I wouldnt want to risk getting it into YLOD.

    For anyone with the same issues with their fat models, hit me up: athlonxp_08@yahoo.com
    I hope we can send a message to Sony regarding that matter :)

  • SONY Wee want cross game chat, you put cross game chat on the psp vita but not on the [DELETED] ps3 big fail by sony WEEE WANT CROSS GAME CHAT

  • Quit whinging about cross game chat already. There is absolutely no need for it.

  • Why dont they release the update on the PS3 website at the same time? Multiple machines means multiple downloads of the update. Royal pain in the a**

  • Oh man i hope this update doesn’t screw my PS3 up….. i can’t have it break down days before the Uncharted 3 beta! pleas people tell me your PS3 still works after this!

  • Ahh, I love updates. :)

    Keep up the good work, Sony!

  • Man most of you just make me sick. Day in and day out you cry like a baby girl who had her lollipop taken away. Just shut the hell up for once and say a simple THANK YOU.

    Boohoo, no Cross Over Game Chat – Sony is trying to make us safe in every way possible. Do you care? Nope… only care that you are not getting what you want right this very minute.

    Boohoo, Sony got hacked and did not inform us the VERY moment it happened – Hey morons, they had to check into it. Find what ALL had happened. I am sorry, but I would rather wait, then to get a half a$$ed report… that could be completely wrong because they rushed it.

    Boohoo it took forever to get the PSN up – Did it matter that Sony was working their a$$ off for us? No all you did was cry, whine, and whimper.

    Just sit, and let them do their jobs. I think they are doing great work. If you don’t like it… go buy an XboX, and let it red ring on you within ten minutes of it being out of the box.

    Sony, thank you for the hard work you are putting into not only the PSN, but the PS3′s them self. It is much appreciated.

    Oh and to the one’s crying about the slow download and install. Get a better Internet Connection… took me less than 7 minutes for both.

  • QFE Dimersak.

  • hmm another update….i still think they should update there website so we can download it from the PC -____-

  • Update is live!

    They’ve just updated their site now – woohoo

  • I don’t get the update, anything else new?

  • PS3 system software update, v3.66, is up now

  • on a website¿?

  • my ps3 stop working :@ fah ken update worthless :(

  • so does the last optional update (3.65) become mandatory with (3.66)?if it does, then you should say

  • Long as you keep things running smooth and don’t have anymore problems like the network intrusion you can update my ps3 every night for all i care

  • Dear Sony, I like you guys (hence I have a PS3 as my sole console) but please stop with the constant updates. They are annoying as some of us don;t have fast internet. Why not have major updates that are spaced out every few months or so like Xbox? If the updates are minor why then are they over 100MB in size?

  • I personally am always happy for a system updated so thanks guys.

  • Personally I want Party Chat just so you annoyances can shut up about it already.

  • OK! But give more information about this update which network services?? All of them?

  • i agree with 273,give more detailed information.

  • why did the 3.61 upate break the original ps3s??? PLEASE REPLY. It has happend to thousands of people. Everyone with an original PS3 gets the Yellow Light of Death when they are updating to the 3.61 or 3.65 or 3.66 why is this?

  • Let Sony do what they have to so our systems stay safe hey they caught the hackers:)

  • In other words, this update exists purely to put the PS3 out of the hackers’ reach for a whole week. I’ve really come to despise hackers over the last few months, but this just seems totally futile to me. Sony could at least be honest about what this update really is, as Network issues would be fixed on their end and I have never had a non-software specific crash issue with my PS3.

    Sony owns PS.

    Sony makes the updates to fix issues with the PS3 software.

    Sony puts out the updates when they are done.

    Sony said, UPDATE, or no online play until you do so.

    What Sony says goes… we own the system, not the people who made the system or the updates for it.

    Enough information? :)

  • thanks sony!!! hope there’ll be no lag after this update :)

  • can you make it so i can do it via usb [DELETED] takes way too long on the ps3

  • What about new stuff? Eric, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a video walkthrough of yours.

  • oh and cross game chat is worthless noe being able to play .mkv and mp4 that would be cool also in game music would be cool too but if ya cant ya cant.

  • yea I was getting tired of getting kicked off PSN every 5 minutes when Im playing online…..I always thought it was my Wifi…….

  • Google TV and chrome browser would be a nice update!
