When is there going to be a new patch to fix this?

I am pretty upset with Sony removing the PSP transfer function. I have a Mac so I can’t use the media go program and my PSP won’t get on my wireless network because I guess it’s not compatible with wpa passwords.

Sony’s customer support solution was to find a wireless connection that will work for my PSP. Whenever I have called them with a problem their “solution” always involves either buying a new product or me being further inconvenienced. Why don’t they put out a PSP update that lets it use wpa passwords?

I asked for a refund on my remaining ps+ subscription since I really only use it for free mini games which I can no longer access and they told me no. After I realized Sony was going to be no help as usual I mentioned that I bought the playstaion 3d display the day it came out and that I wasn’t very happy it dropped $100 in price in less then a month and was told that’s called “buyers remorse”.

That comment took me from a day one vita owner to hopefully never buying it if that’s how they want to support products.

SONY SHOULD FIRE SOMEBODY FOR PUTTING UP A HEALTH WARNING NOTIFICATION ON THE PS3 BOOT SCREEN!

@safwan_hearts Because the fools that run Sony cant be arsed to have people working. Same every time, crap service, crap customer service just crap. Even if the health warning is not a bad thing, I want it to go away! I’m Mature! If I read the health warning, I’m gonna go play my Wii. Everyone should have backed up Downloadable Content (DLC) on the PS3 before they lose all of their date. As if they didnt know this was gonna happen!!

i’m sorry if i’m rude, XXCrazy1992XX. bout that health warning notification is not a bad thing cause there’s a cases where some hardcore gamers suffer some disease because of playing game too much so Sony just wants to take a safe step with their customers.

the real reason why people (including me) complaining bout this update is because it made our PS3 freeze too often or hard disc broken or all data lost.

in my case i lost all my data so i had to format my hard disc and download everything back which is bad because now we can only download 2 times without payment after that we have to pay again for DLC AND I HAVE TO REDO MY GAMES. my precious time………….

Because the fools that run Sony cant be arsed to have people working. Same every time, crap service, crap customer service just crap. Everyone is trying to copy Downloadable Content (DLC) from the PS3 to the PSP. But because of the stupid update, it won’t let them do it. As if they didnt know this was gonna happen!!

I looked EVERYWHERE to find that health warning notification to turn it off but it’s NOT there!! If Sony puts up another useless update, there will be a hell to pay! You guys at Sony are a disgrace! Its no wonder people are leaving in their droves and heading over to Microsoft. A word of warning, if theres any more health warnng signs on the PS3 boot screen, it had better be removed IN FULL by close of business the next working day or Sony are going to have an assload of bad press to deal with. There’ll be no mums buying their kids PS3s or Vitas, just Xbox 360s. You guys constantly let us down from that fiasco with the Welcome Back Package, now to this!? No communication, no answers, no ideas? Sony sucks the big one. Sort it!

Help! My PS3 won’t update to 4.00!
I just bought my PS3 in August and have only have a few system updates occur before 4.00. When I try to update via the internet (wireless or LAN), it gets to 99% complete and then just gets stuck. When I try to update from a thumb drive (following all the instructions, UPDATE folder>PS3 folder, etc.) it gets stuck instantly and reads “Checking… Please wait” forever. I’ve tried updating at least ten times now in normal AND safe mode, but to no avail. When I called tech support, they simply read me the same web page I found the manual update information on. Anyone else ever have the same problem?

I can’t till PSN gets hacked again! I’d rather take an Xbox 360 over a Vita.

I sent Sony a question concerning the update because I hadn’t downloaded it yet. I’ve been reading all of these comments about the damage it’s doing to the consoles and all of the stories I’m seeing seem to match up, but Sony responded saying that there was no way the update could be causing these problems since updates affect all PS3 systems to same. But if that’s true, why is everyone suddenly having the same problems right after getting the update! It seems to me that most people suffering are the people with older, 60GB PS3 consoles, but I’m still afraid to sign in because I know they’ll force me to get this update which apparently corrupts PSP data saved on the PS3 and freezes up newer games. This isn’t fair that I can’t even trust Sony to tell the truth when I go to them for help. I’ve put a lot of money into Playstation Home and the online games that I’ve bought! I should be able to feel safe when I log on to use these services!
