Seriously guys…forget about cross game chat and party systems. ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN. EVER. YOU WANT THAT? GO GET AN XBOX. The Japanese see no need for such features when they DON’T PLAY ONLINE THEMSELVES! WHY WOULD THEY MAKE IT FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD? Until it becomes an issue in Japan, they will NEVER EVER IMPLEMENT IT.
OK. I didn’t read every comment, so I’m not sure if it’s been noticed. But they did move the Netflix video under the Playstation store icon. If you have VUDU downloaded it used to be above that.
@146
Ha, good eye!
@146
Yup, the Hulu Plus, VUDU and Netflix apps have been switched around.
@134 “load times on the ps3 should be at least 20% faster at least across the board”
You’re not a programmer, but you just assume that if you worked there that load times would be reduced? Wow, you are full of yourself.
Thanks again Sony for trying to patch up the console! I really hope that newer games REQUIRE this firmware in order to run. I don’t like seeing games that I paid for up for grabs on some piracy site.
Thanks for the heads up Eric….updating now.
looks like they patched out the downgrade ability implemented by the newest PSJailbreak. Looks like PSJailbreak was wrong about it being future proof.
Weak
@37 & @41, full Backward Compatibility with PS2 and support for MKV video files would be lovely :)
LAME!! Anyone else find anything else different aside from the netflix app being under the store?
one feature i really want to see is a cloud service for all game saves, i’m getting fed up with game saves getting locked from being able to back them up on a flash drive. my first ps3 died a year ago and i lost some of my game saves cause they couldn’t be copied. if it costs sony money to do this, than they should add it to playstation plus, that alone would be worth $50 a year in my opinion.
@145
Never say never
@146
Nice catch! There is always a secret in these updates :3
woohooo!!!! this is one of the reason y i buy PS3! if u cant afford to buy the game, then don’t play it. :)
wow, just a security measure? wheres the new features?
Well that took a better 40 minutes of my life and I have the fastest internet available.
Dear Firmware hackers/pirates,
Please program a custom program for Cross game chat. That is the only way the PS3 will ever get that feature.
/sarcasm
cool another update can’t wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
WTF… 4GET THIS I WANT A USEFULL UPDATE
Add this kind of updates to the big updates. Well who cares we NEVER get big updates
WOW! somuch hate for a security update so no one will get hacked or pirates stealing features. Apparently there is no troll free place on the internet.@145 then complain to them and say you will buy an Xbox or complain to the customer service and MAYBE get an AMERICAN factory and programers to build it ourselfs( as in the USAns) and to the rest of the world so Japan can’t control us, the people of the Playstation Network. And there might be some copyright issues maybe another reason for the lack of service.
Thats Right, Keep Her Locked Down! PS3 Baby!
And this security patch does what now? Fixes the crappy connections with Black Ops and other such games? Ooops I think I just saw the ROFLcopter buzzing my head.
sony what have you done
after patch to 3.55 at first it work fine
but suddenly i can’t connect to PSN now it said DNS error
Getting rid of OTHER OS was a very good update for this year. Im all for any firmware updates for security measures. If people would stop trying to hack the PS3 will stop doin it, we would get better updates.
So I see this is the feature request thread? :P
Fat chance, but I’m asking Santa for Matroska video, FLAC, and OGG support for Christmas.
I’m sad… still nothing new today. I’m wondering if we’re gonna get something at all. Well, I’ll let my “news” needs under the playstation phone section, lol.
check the updates on PSP phone ;) (announed the 9th)

For Christmas i want a REAL update
got a error at 78% WOW
whats all going to come with this update….
it all ready do everything…..lol
Shortest post ever!
Also, #1 loves to download patches that don’t affect him.
had no problem with update (never do) agree that if people would stop hacking sony would have time to give us real updates. HOMELINGS ROCK !!!
@164
Wtf? How could a PS3 update improve Black Ops online? Ask Treyarch for that, Sony has nothing to say on that one.
Sounds like Skater_Ricky needs to just go out and buy an Xbox 360. This is a PLAYSTATION 3 YOU’RE PLAYING! A quality piece of hardware, not a failing Xbox 360.
I would like the option to better organize my trophies. And get rid of games on the list that I don’t want on them. I’d like to better organize my downloaded games and content as well.
Thanks for the security update, Sony, but where are all the updates with content that have been on the top on the Playstation Share at? It’s been years and no major updates have been released…
yay!!
Why do people want cross game chat so bad. I have used it on the other console and it is not that great. If you are concentrating on a game u get distracted by friends trying to talk to u. Ill rather have some other new kind of feature.
-_-
Well, at least… Hm, nope, I got nothin’. I’m as anti-hacker as the next guy, but maybe Sony should just be hiring the hackers to do the updates for them so we can get some decent new features rather than security updates. “Four years in prison or 200 hours of community programming- your choice.”
fighting against piracy
By the way, I’d simply like the ability to change the genre of an entire album rather than having to do each track manually. Seriously, WTH?
damn this is the primary reason for hacks. cause the hacks are easier to deal with than to deal with updates. one hack good forever. OS good for one month and then need to update. It is the same for Blu Ray though… gotta update each time you get a new movie x.x Just remember the Alicia Keys incident where none of her CDs would play cause they put in “security” to keep people from ripping the disc.
Another wonderful update, great.
Guys, to those of you who say it’s just an update that’s going to have more content and features. Come on, obviously in my books Sony’s doing a good job of removing the other OS option (v3.21) I mean if you want a computer, just buy a PC or a laptop. Now this security patch that’s released as we speak (v.3.55), give them more time ladies and gentlemen and if you are sick and tired of waiting for more and more content with these release versions on the PS3, then just stop whining about it!
wat the hell is wrong with sony? take a look at playstation blog share. dont make it everybody’s waste of time.
I know what the update is for but im not saying it on here
@ 151 thats what i was about to say but i wasnt sure if the at was allowed to talk on here
I love updates, even the security ones. People really shouldn’t hack their systems.
Ok, I’m all for stopping pirates but why wont Sony and the rest of the tech world realize that all they are doing is keeping honest people honest?
That being said, PLEASE give me back the ability to run Linux! I bought my phat PS3 when I saw that the slim were going to loose the ability to install Linux. I bought an older, less power efficient model simply because I wanted to have the option of being able to run Linux on it.
WILL some one please tell what the update has in it other then a security patch. Oh yea what is the rest of the update have in it? Cause if I have to I will reformat my PS3 and say screw the updates cause I am done installing crap on my PS3 for no real reason.
If you BOUGHT your console, then you should be free to do whatever you like with it.
The only reason I bought a Wii was to hack it. I’ve bought 5 PS3s so far (2 for me, 3 for members of my family). One of them wont be getting updated. There’s just no reason to keep bugging people with these “security” updates…the only thing you’re doing is bringing public awareness that the PS3 can now be hacked, and the hackers WILL find a way to outsmart you.
I just want javascript back on the browser. :(
