Latest PS3 Firmware Updates

[J0e Musashi]

Do you have the logo on your PS3 John? I can't see it on mine.

I followed your link, logged in with my US details and it has both my PS3's correct, but bizarrely it reckons I have three PSP's. I only have one that I've registered my US account on. Bit odd, but anyway.

John, you're still not fooling me, I know your Sony ties.

'hey check out this cool feature!'

yes, lets all check it out, shall we..

May as well post this here I suppose.

After the last firmware update I noticed a new logo when signing in to my account online...


Searching took me to this page registered to Sony Network Entertainment International and an option to sign in. As it's the same sign in page as PSN pages I tried but was told it wan't available in the UK but I got in with my US account.

Once you're in it lets you link Bravia TVs, blu-ray players, PS3s and PSPs to your account to stream films to compatible devices. It already had a our PS3 & PSP linked to the account.

Anyway, just thought it was worth mentioning and if anybody has a recent Bravia or Sony blu-ray player they may want to link them to their account so they can stream directly to them.

Well, it is not fixed. I have lost about half my cookies so far, even on sites I was visiting reasonably frequently. I wish Sony had some idea of what they are doing with these Firmware updates.

Yeah this somewhat annoyed me seriously, my PC blew up and I was using PS3 recently to surf the net it all became incredibly annoying. Looks like it has fixed with this update and is back to normal.

I am hopeful that this new firmware has corrected the problem that the last update had created. I use the PS3 for most of my Web Browsing and the last update had it so that cookies containing log in details to various forums were not there the next time you visited so you had to log in again. So far today it is looking hopeful this has been sorted.

Famous last words I expect...

Go to Applications > PlayStation Network Application and you can see your friends from there. I think you need to have them on FB as well though, because mine's empty on there.

Can't get any joy with any of those links John. Maybe they're just a bit slow?

JPN store is really nice. Still no Neo games though, been saving 600 Yen for Street Hoop for too long now

I quite like the look of the Japanese store, I like that they have a separate folder for each publisher with their logo so even if you can't read the language you can find what you're looking for.

Don't really bother with Facebook so haven't tried it yet but did a search and found this link: http://apps.facebook.com/playstation

EDIT:
Didn't get anything on that so serached for Playstation on Facebook and got this one: http://www.facebook.com/apps/applica...3390702&ref=ts

The PSP folders are something I've wanted for ages now.

However, they don't save so you have to press [ ] everytime you go into the Memory Stick menu to display the folders. Not great, but hopefully they'll get there with 6.40.

Massive overhaul on the JPN store though. Much better than before. Really easy to navigate too

How do I add the PSN network app to my facebook? *Edit* Got it, but it only shows my trophies, can't see my friend list. Open DNS gives me an error when I try to go further.

Does anyone play games on their games console anymore?
It's the same deal with TVs, there are all these widgets and extra features which just leave me scratching my head...

Worse, it seems my PS3 wants to make gaming as difficult as possible for me. Stick a film in? It plays. Heck, it even resumes! Wanna play a game? Sorry, there's nine updates for that, followed by a trophy install. Sorry.

[J0e Musashi]

Woot. I knew if I emailed them enough they'd do folders. Go me!

[JP]

They're both available now and v6.30 for the PSP adds adds new folders onto the game section. PSP games, PSP/PS3 Minis, PS1 classics, PCEngine & Neo-Geo which hopefully means we'll start getting the last two over here at some point.

(USA) PS3 v3.40
(EU) PS3 v3.40
PSP v6.30

Sod 3.40, what does the new PSP one add?
