  • The XMB was awesome when i first got my PS3, now it’s just slow and clunky.

    Gief update please.

  • It does everything except what we want. No more movie apps and give us more gamer oriented things. If i wanted a computer i would buy one. The Ps3 is for games Sony.

  • before the last update we can copy the saved files to other ps3, aftr the update we can´t anymore, now, with this new update will came more restrictions?

  • I wish hackers would DIE!

  • got the update downloaded, didnt notice much of a difference … features for example :S

  • Another useless update that legitimate users are forced to install.

  • How bout an update for couples on PS Home. Where you can hold hands and hug. Sounds a little old fashion but my wife and i love to log onto Home.

  • Insted of putting a firmware with nothing put a firmware that eliminates CINAVIA

  • Come on!!!! add more features… Microsoft got it right the first time with their console dashboard.. why can’t I play a game and choose music on my pc and stream it to my home theater while i’m in the game? the commercial says it does everything… but it doesn’t.

    then you cry because people hack these things.. I don’t blame them

  • Eric lempel when is update 4.0 coming out we havent had any new features in a long time. the other system gets a fall update every year.. your 15th anniversary you guys should have had a update..

  • Long live the PS3-SCENE dont care about this update we always find a way… All your comments are funny tho all that anger against the hack of ps3.. you might not realize but you ps3 fan boys are funny to listen

  • @TheGringoKiller

    …and you hackers are morons that ruin everything for everyone else. SONY could spend more time adding features etc., instead of constantly working on security patches to combat your stupidity…

  • WHERE ARE THE UPDATES, This is not an update, this is a fix for the system security. where are the new features? why the major update are so slow to have? my brother has an xbox with big plethora of features and my ps3 only has an defective browser that freeze my system, psn, home, facebook buggy using buggy browser, hulu and netflix (every device has it has it), not all the movies and games has previews (ahh annoying),and psn is becoming more slow to see a trailer or change from content section to other section. PSN is behind in system features that everyone is asking for. what is for the playstation site to recomend a feature if the psn staff and playstation are doing nothing with it. ps3 great blu ray quality games nothing more. xbox great and fast multimedia home entertainment with optionsss and everything is instantly. i luv my ps but this has issues and no one is doing something. im not a fanboy, i just want to use for what i pay.

  • Come on Sony give us a nice update for christmas. It’s long time ago we got a good update.

    Give us voice chat in christmas present

  • So the guys at Sony rush all their resources when it comes to meaningless updates and yet they refuses to fix the credit card problems people are having when adding funds to their wallets. But if I can’t buy stuff from the PSN store legaly whats the incentive for me to update my PS3 firmware instead of buying a jailbreak usb drive? Piracy doesn’t sound that bad if your out of options…

  • Every time I see an update I’m hoping for cross game chat.

  • I’m tired of “security” updates.

    We wants new features (and old features back).

  • YAHOO!!!

    This update contains:

    – Security issue: This update fixes the hability of playing PS3 games on your console. This Update is Mandatory! so update and dont play! LOL!

  • Now firmware updates are mandatory for everybody, there is no reason for redesign XMB usability, we can’t select more than one item at a time in many sections! this kind of thing is shameful, 4 years…

  • hmm.. This really seems like old news, being done again why can’t we get something good?

  • Are you kidding me? No new feature? So no reason to update for … I’m not big fan of Online gaming either… i can wait for long time! oh yea … LONG TIME!

  • … and so, the honest and loyal costumers are the ones to suffer in the middle of Sony`s battle against the pirates.

  • Thank You Sony

  • So many whiners on this board. As much as no one wants to believe, MS DID patent/trademark Cross game voice chat and in-game music. THAT’s why they haven’t implemented it yet. It’s a horrible and retarded legal battle for them because MS just throws around their money.

    Also, it doesn’t matter if Sony somehow gave us 80% of the things on Share, people would still hack their systems. You know why? So they don’t have to pay for their games.

    I’ve seen both sides of the scene, and hackers are never someone to be admired for what they do. Yet people treat them like they’re amazing people. The PS3/PSP do something that we can’t get anywhere else: complete and open region-free gaming. This feature is the best feature that Sony ever backed. And it’s not been ‘years’ since we saw a good update with features. Netflix being added was something that A LOT of people wanted. And that was implemented just recently.

    Sure, the 360 gets a lot of visual updates and whatnot, but I really don’t care much about that. I use my PS3 for gaming mostly. If Sony ever did disable region-free gaming, that’s when I would have to break open my PS3. Until then, I’ll happily support the only console company that still gives us this :)

  • Cool to know, hope a big update is coming soon!

  • I Agree with alot of U, Would B Nice 4 “ALOT” of “OTHER” Update’s that R, How should i say, “WANTED” By MANY if not a VAST MAJORITY of PS3 Owners……
    But “Good” things come 2 those who Wait….. :-)

  • @ #241: I agree for SCEA to adopt “It only does Everything” is pretty Thickheaded. Come on, IF it did everything, We wouldn’t be trolling the blogs to complain about cross game voice chat.. I NEVER EVER use cross game TEXT chat, why would I?? Pause a game to type?? NO THANKS.. make it seamless like in home, where if I have a chatpad ALL I have to do is start typing and home brings up the dialog box.. Make us NOT want to jailbreak.. don’t be an APPLE, Sony!!

  • Is this the one that enables PS3 systems to make sandwiches! Hopefully, or I’ll have to continue that joke.

  • Im just tire of firmware updates, that dont add anything new and could potentially brick my console…

    Seriously sony if you guys add stuff like mkv support, cross game voice chat, ability to sort or create folders on video, music.

    That would be great but all this wasting time, firmware upates that dont come up with anything new, ITS NOT BENEFIT for LEGAL users or FANS thats just want to play their game without issues

  • @258: It doesn’t make sandwiches, elect the president, clean my house, or teach babies, puppies, and cats to read.

  • Lame. Give us some substance or don’t waste my time.

  • YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT CANADA?!?!?!? I’M GONNA CRY NOW!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!! WHERE’S DRAGONBALL GUNDAM SAGA TWELVE!!!!!!!!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!

  • Stop with the pointless updates, once it’s hacked, it’s always hacked. Just give the legit users something decent. I don’t think we’ve had any worthwhile updates in the last 2 years…

  • woo hoo, santa came through :P

  • I Support this list 100%

    If you agree pass this list on!

  • HERE IS PROOF THAT SONY HAVE CROSS GAME VOICE CHAT IN THE FIRMWIRE:

    http://www.caemgen.nl/crossgamevoicechat.jpg

    BUT WHERE IS IT?! They removed it from the PSN+ and I would like to know why?!!

  • I agree with Sly. I’m not planning on updating to the latest firmware, and if a CFW does come out that allows PSN… I doubt I’ll be using it. I have my Xbox 360 for online gaming, why would I need PSN? And even should I have the want to play my PS3 with others… I have other options.

    Give your loyal customers new features. Certainly, you can keep fighting the hackers. But it will just irritate your loyal customers until they join us.

  • Version 3.55 Crash my NETFLIX. When you try to LOGIN it say: “Device not supported”. I Called NETFLIX, they say SONY’s Fault. SONY!!!!!! Do something. This is ridiculous update.

  • Stop letting the pirates take up your dev time. There is a reason that the PSP is dead. From what I heard/saw the video of the “Hack” was on a dev device, so it was no hack.

  • OMG its just a simple 5 minute update.Im pretty sure Cross game chat wont ever be available on the PS3 its bin 5 years …give it up kids.Sony is focusing on more importanat matters like AWESOME EXCLUSIVES and good affordable psn games for the new MOVE controller and more activites for our CONTROLABLE AVATARS..on HOME our EXCLUSIVE SOCIAL GAMING COMMUNITY..is CHATTIN with your FRIENDS on a headset while playing diffrent games,more important than that..I THINK NOT! ..So yeah, PLAYSTION DOES EVERYTHING thats IMPORTANT :p

  • @twooh
    Yes, it’s obviously a trap. Why on earth would Sony be keen on making sure that their platform stays safe..? -_-‘ I’ll be honest, it’s great if you can’t afford any games… but that’s rare. But it should be common sense not to criticize a company for doing something like adding a security patch to make sure people can’t abuse their system and get access to new games.

    @Sir_Vague
    I seriously don’t think it takes THAT much time to develop a security patch. Granted it can take A LITTLE time but not to the point where you would be able to blame the pirates for it.

  • Oh, I didn’t realise that this was a security update. I guess it’s for the best.

  • I wish they would use the Idea’s that they are milking us for in the psblog.com site. Granted “Security Updates” are valid but at least add something for the users. Cross Game Voice Chat, Software Emulation for PS2 games, Auto-Syncing Trophies,PS Button – Auto Read Message Upon Notification, MKV Support for the PS3, In game music for ALL titles. Just to name a few of my favorites. Come on Sony!

  • These constant, absolutely worthless PS3 updates is probably the worst thing about the console. It’s like a slap in the face to everyone that uses PlayStation Blog Share, and its insulting that Sony refuses to actually update PS3 with anything useful that improves the user experience.

    no cross game voice chat, no improved web browser, ESPN, Netflix a year late, no auto-sync trophies, no PS button auto-read message on notification, and so on.

  • Thank you for the wonderful update

  • Ok, when i get home i’ll download it.
    Piracy!, gtfo!

  • This is why I hate hackers.

  • safety bt i also want new browser :)

  • After the update, I had problems logging on the PSN. Anyone else get this problem?
    Plus it keep on signing me out of the PSN when I was playing Black Ops so I couldn’t play online.
