1,326 0

Hi everyone, in our continued effort to provide the best, most comprehensive entertainment experience possible, we’ll be adding a few new features to PlayStation 3 (PS3) via the latest system software update, which is a mandatory update and will be available shortly. Most notably, you’ll see some new sorting options within Trophies that make it easier to claim bragging rights among your friends on PlayStation Network.

  • Trophy enhancements –- Now you can more easily sort trophies in the [Trophy Collection] and [Comparing Trophy] sections. Sorting can be done with [Trophy Collection] in the [Game Category] and also when comparing trophies with your friends in the [Friend Category]
    • Trophy Folder (Title List) can be sorted by game name/ by title according to the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
    • Add-on list (Group list) can be sorted by original/the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
    • Trophy list can be sorted by original/trophy name/grade/date of obtaining the trophy (ascending/descending)

In addition, this update preps the PS3 system for some upcoming new features, including 3D stereoscopic gaming, which is coming soon to PS3, in time for the launch of Sony’s 3D BRAVIA TVs.

Let us know your thoughts and as always, we look forward to your feedback.

  • thanks for the 3d tv… will it support other brands of 3d capable tv’s or just the sony bravia?

    please note:

    browser update; or just let us use a browser that works properly (for example: Opera – it is light enough even for a ps3’s limited ram) like i used to have on my OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM that meant that the ps3 was truly the entertainment hub in my home.

    the ps3… it could be so much more. it could do “everything”; if only sony would let it…

  • Wretty cool….but what if I don’t have a 3D TV? Will there be an option to turn off the 3D?

    I agree with other posts, let us delete trophies for games we didn’t like, didn’t play, or for demos (Super Stardust HD for example).

  • People complaining about OS = 2% of PS3 owners. I’m laughing at how many people supposedly used Linux on a PS3 vs a computer. Linux came and went without me even noticing it.

    If you were running a business that you knew was potentially going to lose money over an exploit that only about 2-5% of your users were using, you would sure as hell do the same thing.

    And don’t give me any of that, “No, I’d listen to my customers” What if your customers were the other 96% that didn’t care and at some point in the future software prices went up because of the 4% who made it possible to pirate games?

    What if you were losing money on your company? Would you honestly say, “Nah, I want to make these few happy even if it loses my company money on a feature that isn’t really an integral part of a gaming/media system?

  • Makes the Xbox owners on the IGN site look like the adults.

  • Other OS isn’t even on the top 3 of the most requested ideas, lol. You people do make a lot of noise for a group who’s complaint isn’t even on the main page of the Blog Share.

  • Yeah less than 2%. I just happen to be one, user of Xubuntu and YDL for 1.5 yrs on PS3. Yet I don’t see your argument when it comes to the poor guys above us who their consoles are now possible broken to update for “trophy sorting” and “prepping 3DTV support” What percentage of us is really going to go rush out and buy Sonys new ridiculously priced TV that I could buy a used car for the same price? I’m guessing less than 2%, thing is this PARTICULAR less than 2% might just dump more money in the lap of Sony whereas Linux doesn’t make them squat. Still no piracy or hacks out there to use on the system by the way. Guessing we won’t see piracy for a long, long time if at all.

  • @Sindred
    But the remove of OtherOs could be illegal in some contries.
    I will sell you a game, and then I will remove the final level because it has a potentially security problem. You will rant?!?

    Are you talking about your post in particular?

    Because you obviously don’t really understand ‘grown up’ things.

    You’re also as naive as Sony if you beleive the people trying to hack the PS3 are going to install any firmware that removes any POTENTIAL method of hacking the machine

    Other OS isn’t even on the top 3 of the most requested ideas, lol. You people do make a lot of noise for a group who’s complaint isn’t even on the main page of the Blog Share.
    —————————————————————————————-
    LMAO, because it wasn’t a requested idea, it WAS actually a FEATURE of the machine I bought.

  • im updating right now! cool

  • I’ve seen quite a few others mention this and I just want to echo their sentiments. Please add a way to delete trophy listings that are 0%. I have a few of them and it drives me nuts.

  • I also wanna have the ability to remove a trophy list it would be cool, plus when is Canada gonna be able to get something like netflix.

  • I really want to be able to delete trophies. Because there is so many 0% on mines and now I can’t play them ;-;

  • This is a crummy update, after the last ‘take-away’ one I was hoping for a decent update.

    I (and others) would like: –

    1) A better Internet browser
    2) Skype
    3) The ability to backup save games as a batch, not just individually
    4) Cross gaming chat
    5) Return of the Other OS feature
    6) The ability to remove trophies with 0% completion
    7) The ability to use your own images for Avatars
    8) Video capture within games, for bragging later on youtube
    9) Screen capture within games

    These are just off the top of my head, if I think longer and harder there’s potentially much more I can come up with.

  • since when does having linux on the ps3 enable game pirating? lol..what a tool.. whether linux is on he ps3 or not..someone will always find a way to circumvent their security.

  • Always enjoy enhancements be them big or small. My hope is this is the ground work to a EPIC E3 update.

  • the psp needs an update to sort games/demos/add ons etc. because it’s tedious search something in the game folder of the psp

  • Oww f*** you Sony, because I mention the former update my comment is awating for moderation? Pathetic whiners.

  • how about some more visuals for the music player??

    the 3 ones we have are getting STALE !!!

  • “Give us some proper enhancements, like a new browser (I want Opera!)”

    That’s Nintendo’s partner.

  • Trophies? It was so… irrelevant!

    But an add

    if they release an update to netfront. It is almost the same navigator from my Clie Tj27 (from 2005).

    @615:
    “Sony is ADDING a feature?”

    I laughed gallons!

  • Well it’s obvious Sony isn’t listening to our ideas, that share blog is worthless. This update is uncalled for, really isn’t needed. On top of this update we get a new TOS that Sony “may” charge customers now to make a PSN account. Notice when they put these things out they go into hiding, ignore us and say…

    “Hey we already have your money, if you don’t agree with these new rules you can always walk away.”

    Yes, because that’s REALLY giving the consumer an option after spending so much money on a product. Stay and take it or have a difference of opinion and welcome to your new paperweight. Whatever, time to see how people are reacting on this on youtube.

  • I’m still p!ssed about the removal of Other OS and I didn’t even use that feature (but was contemplating it). It was one of the reasons I bought it.

    Can you say ‘Class Action’?

    Here buy a Lincoln Navigator with GPS… oh, wow, hey, we updated your car. It removes all access to your GPS system, radio, and A/C control… but if you don’t update, the car won’t drive on the road. We’re so good to you.

    Very poor form…

  • Yellow Dog’s Firefox it’s quite good, put it.

  • It amazes me at some of the posts of people who are against something that was originally implemented, and removed, and yet their opinion of the subject is based on ridiculous assumptions.Apparently you have no idea what you are talking about so keep your feeble opinions on the things you have some knowledge about.albeit games at best. Pc architecture is not the same as whats inside the ps3. Thus why many choose to program on the ps3 through linux and of course theres the linux enthusiasts.Either way its a feature that was originally implemented.Sony has no right in their practices to remove it plain and simple.

  • It would’ve been nice if this update also included a feature to allow you to delete games that have 0% under the trophy list. I’ve rented games that I didn’t like so I quit playing before attaining any trophies and seeing that 0% drives me nuts!

  • WOW!!!! What a bunch of babies!!!! WAAAAAA!!! I GOT GAME WITH 0% TROPHIES! WAAAAAA!!! Boo f n hoo! Go cry yourselves to sleep. Get pissed at Geohot for losing other O.S. NOT SONY!!!! He is the lil hacking bastard that forced them to update to maintain the only unhackable console in world. If ur gonna complain go buy an x box or a kite to fly (same amount of fun). And people like paisleyboxers are so pathetic to me. HOW CAN U NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT TROPHIES R 4? U F N IDIOT!!!!!! GO SONY!!!!

  • Does 3.30 have Linux support? Cross Game Voice Chat? Oh, it’s useless.

  • I would like “Youtube” back please. The BROWSER, please focus on the… BROWSER! Thanks.

  • yes they can remove other O.S and they did! What r u gonna do about it? NOTHING!!!!! (unless u wanna downgrade to a very pathetic alternative) (X BOX or WII) cry babies cant just b happy knowing this is the finest gaming console $ can buy.

  • This update did not bring much to me. It slightly updated Fash (not to the latest version) and now I can view the videos on the regular (not the XL site, XL always worked) Youtube site.

    Flash must be the latest version with every Firmware update. It should also support the l1ve.tv Flash Player:
    http://connect.l1ve.tv/media/player.swf

    And also Brightcove Flash player: http://www.brightcove.com

    By the way, when are you gonna support Arabic and Hebrew languages in your slow Internet browser? Isn’t it better to replace it with Firefox or Opera?

    Finally, I would love to see support for NTFS.

  • lol majority of what geohot done was through hardware and not the other os.. his so called hacking bastard ass has nothing to do w/ it. there are people out there who arent trying to make a name for themself and doing self promotion as he is..it comes down to Sony is losing profits due to the mass amount of consoles sold at a loss and those consoles are not bringing income from games..either way the so called patch that was done has nothing to do with it.its funny how people blame this and that..and yet have no clue.. internet has rotted your brain..

  • Where can i downloaded?

  • A lot of people keep acting as if removing OtherOS had some effect on hackers. Is this a reading comprehension problem, or just a comprehension problem in general?

    Hackers are still hacking the PS3 — much more than before, in fact, because this gave them a huge incentive. It’s only the people who don’t care about hacking but do like to play games who are affected at all.

  • sony, get it through your thick skull we HATE trophies. We also hate the EYE, the MOVE, and bluetooth headsets. Take all the money from trophies and put it into The Last Gaurdian. That’s when I’ll actually enjoy your stupid, non-web browser fixing updates.

  • What about YouTube?

  • I’d rather have updates from Sony that I wont use than Microsoft updates that crash everything. BUT…

    Sony just wont get on board with making it so you can view tv and movies on browsers because they want you to buy stuff on their network. I do buy a lot of the movies and have bought some TV shows but mostly watch the free ones or try to find sites that stream anime and video. I’ve bought 17 games over the network too.

    But lately I just HDMI a laptop to the TV and go to Hulu to catch up on sit coms, medical dramas, and reality shows. Less time on the PS3 means less money I will spend (U Guys listening to THAT?)

  • I def. agree with a lot of you 0% trophies drives me insane! Give the option to delete these games pleasee…
    Also this update is not pointless

  • c(=

  • “in our continued effort to provide the best, most comprehensive entertainment experience possible”

    When did this focus start? From the commercials i thought the PS3 “Does Everything”

    I guess they had to change how they word the goal of the PS3 after taking away OtherOS in the last firmware….

  • Thanks for the update, just have a question. I’ve noticed you can sort by Core/Addon for only some games, most of them don’t even have DLC portions to sort. And games that have a lot of DLC trophies, IE. Burnout Paradise don’t even have that option. Is there a reason it’s only some and not all?

    Thanks,

  • I want my money back for bad company 2. I will never log back on to the PSN.

  • i myself could give to shake of a jack rabbits a§ § about elither or those and whats in there that sony dont tell you about and i dont care about trophys so i think thay need to get rid of them like thay did what “was” useful to me OtherOS

  • Rumours had it that you guys planned to exclude the Other OS support so people like myselve cant boot *nix software on our Ps3 ( Old fat units ) and thus rendering all our data corrupt..

    Does Fw 3.30 still support Other Os for us Fat Ps3 owners or what ? This is a big issue for us *nix freaks that uses the Ps3 unit not just as a a game unit but also as a computer.

    Microsoft crippled hard drivers for people before and got so bad feedback and had to back down on that change due to European law Directive 1999/44/EC that states that if a function is avalible on a unit when it was sold it should still be supported afterwards.

    I happen to own a couple of the first Ps3 60Gb units ( Four Ps3 60Gb units and a fifth fat Ps3 but that is a 40Gb version ) Teh reason i had for buying one was because i could install *nix on them and play games and listen to SACD. I dont really care about this feature on the SLIM units because i crave the Ps1-3 compability and me myselve and others with me would like an answer on this issue…

    Will Sony back on the decision about removing “Other-Os” and still support it just like Microsoft *A bigger company with more money did* or what ?

    Cheers.

  • @Arcknagar

    You are still missing the point. I would agree that $300 for a PS3 does get you the best gaming console your money could buy.

    However everyone that has a beef about OtherOS being removed spent $500 – $600 for their console.

    I bought the console, 2 games and a 2 year extended warranty. So I was in the $900 range.

    You have no base for your argument if you spent $400 or lower and didn’t want/use OtherOS.

  • Yay….trophies. Now can you make it so my PS3 doesn’t freeze when I play Dragon Age. Started 4 hours ago….after I updated.

  • Huh…well thats cool.

  • Are you serious!!! WTF give us something that will WOW us. god where the hell is cross-game chat…
