    It also provides the ability to play PSP Minis on the PS3, but I think that's it.

      Fixed the bluetooth pad problem for some people and the trophy sync errors too. But yeah thats it pretty much.

      Anyone notice 3.10 added an option for HDD Video Subtitle language. I guess thats just for videos you've bought from the store though and not .srt support sadly.

        It's not going to affect me in any way but I'm sure there will be people who won't be happy when this optional update is released on April 1st.

        The next system software update for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system will be released on April 1, 2010 (JST), and will disable the ?Install Other OS? feature that was available on the PS3 systems prior to the current slimmer models, launched in September 2009. This feature enabled users to install an operating system, but due to security concerns, Sony Computer Entertainment will remove the functionality through the 3.21 system software update.

        In addition, disabling the ?Other OS? feature will help ensure that PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of gaming and entertainment content from SCE and its content partners on a more secure system.

        Consumers and organizations that currently use the ?Other OS? feature can choose not to upgrade their PS3 systems, although the following features will no longer be available:
        • Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat
        • Playback of PS3 software titles or Blu-ray Disc videos that require PS3 system software version 3.21 or later
        • Playback of copyright-protected videos that are stored on a media server (when DTCP-IP is enabled under Settings)
        • Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later

        For those PS3 users who are currently using the ?Other OS? feature but choose to install the system software update, to avoid data loss they first need to back-up any data stored within the hard drive partition used by the ?Other OS,? as they will not be able to access that data following the update.

            Given the list of things you can't do if you choose not to install the update I'm not really sure iots really that optional...

              Go me for having both a fat and a slim. In your face SCEI!

                Whats that got to do with it? You probably never installed Linux anyway!

                And after the update they'll both be pretty functionally similar.

                  Yes that's true, but anyway. Go me!

                      Heh.

                      It does say "Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later". You think that means there might be something else new? Something that we can actually use or at least toggle just the once? The "or later" part prolly means we won't get jack tho.

                        No idea, doubt there'll be anything new they would have bigged that up and then quietly mentioned .oh yeah we are disabling otheros cough cough.

                          For those PS3 users who are currently using the “Other OS” feature but choose to install the system software update, to avoid data loss they first need to back-up any data stored within the hard drive partition used by the “Other OS,” as they will not be able to access that data following the update.
                          Oh fantastic. So I'm going to have a 10gb black hole on my hard drive now. Thanks Sony.

                                It looks like 3.21 'other OS removal' firmware is out today. If I have never used the other OS option will my hard drive be partitioned normally, so I won't lose any space, or is part of it already allocated to the other OS option? I ask this because the BBC article says this partition will not be accessible once the latest firmware is installed.
