  • Thanks, but I’ll be waiting a few days (or more) just to make sure this update doesn’t turn my PS3 into a shiny brick. >.>

  • When the update goes live will it be available online since I will be downloading from my PC or will I have to wait for it to say 3.0 before I download?

  • Thanks, downloading…..

  • @83
    Um when Sony can figure out a way to get around M$ patents.

  • @171 : I wouldn’t bet on that…

  • playstation won the console war it’s official

  • cool,its 10:09 on the east so i’ll look 4 it at 12:00.

  • TOTALLY been waitin’ for this one. Toats McGoats. Great job on this feature set Sony, makes your system even more appealing. I don’t understand why people complain about the firmware updates, saying they take a long time and all kinds of nonsense. But, for me, they happen instantaneously.

  • @PYTHON101

    They usually don’t release the update immediately on the webpage, but ask in the forums and they’ll give you a specific link that updates earlier.

  • Does this mean midnight tonight?

  • i hope it makes online run smoother im kind of tired of the server problems

  • this is awesome xD

  • When is shortly?
    Knowing my luck, i’ll get on a hot streak in COD and then get signed out and forced to update.. not that I don’t want the update, but I don’t want to randomly be booted cause of it..

  • Everyone who asks for cross game chat and a party system and game launching it’s because M$ has all the patents Sony figured out a way to do game launching though and that’s through home which is cool. But everything else is hard to do they could use skype for chat though. But then money is involved.

  • I think this is a misuse of the word imminent. It should be up by now. :-p

  • I’m not planning to change my avatar either jbat.

    I’m trying to find things to do to pass the time, but all I want to do is keep trying to update…

  • i cant wait to change my ugly avatar.

  • What does soon mean, Eric?

  • ZOMG!!! i want it NOW! its a great update with so much new! i hope it also will support MKV files. that is SOOOOO important.

  • I can’t wait! hurry up!!

  • I just want to separate Friends Connection Display with Message Display. I don’t want to know when my friends get connected, but i want to know when i receive a message.

    In the other hand, if God of War Collection will be released, why not a Metal Gear Solid Collection with MGS1, 2 and 3?

  • Can we just have the update now? It’s already September 1st in some parts of the world.

    If you guys wait too long, it’s gonna be September 2nd for those around the int’l date line ;)

  • Pure Awesomeness :)

  • taking to long im going to sleep

  • Okay.. I’ll bite.

    What the hell, Sony? I bought your PS3 just like I’ve bought a lot of other things and yet you constantly show you can’t pull anything besides hardware off (whether it’s an ebook reader or the PS3). This is the big update? You guys made so much noise about how powerful your system was and then consistently let us down… backwards compatibility gone, media functions fairly pathetic, a web browser that barely functions, finally gave us flash but it barely functions as well…

    How the heck did Microsoft, with it’s “50% failure rate”, manage to beat you guys so badly? I’ve been a big fan of yours forever but these days my PS3 hardly ever gets turned on – it plays (some) games well, but that’s it. I’m just disappointed.

  • It’s coming tomorrow

  • @193 –> Sony had to hired a studio for porting GoW1+2… For MGS, it is Konami who will decide… However, a MGS4 collector edition with all the canonical games (except the ones for PSP) would be very fine! (Hi-res or 480i, I don’t care! :|)

    In fact, 3D remakes of MG1 and MG2 should be done… It should already have been done!
