Comments about the lack of cross-game chat in 3...2...1..

I dont see why people are hating this update, sure it doesn't give you some new shiny feature that you want, but its a positive thing nonetheless and FREE

I think there is some secret behind-the-scenes stuff in this update..

An update just to patch up a lil' security hole shouldn't take that long to download..

This one did. I'm sure there's a little something in there..

people always hate when it comes to free updates u seriously cant take 5 mins of your life and add a feature that will possibly make the system better for all, jeez and don't give me that x.xx firmware broke my ps3 crap. anyway looking forward to some new features also :)

so this is a forced update or do i have a choice -_- maybe 3.60 will provide actual features

well atleast the pirates get some attention -_-

o and sony thanks for fixing the browser since most sites dont work because of flash upgrades . . .

/sarcasm

So glad I saw this about an update. Im watching MNF and was gonna get some BBC2 action in later on tonight.

So now I can update while I watch the game. Otherwise I would have been pissed thst I had to wait on a slow ass update to upload :(

PS3 piracy did screw up a portion of PS3 gamers. Due to the PS3 supposedly hacked the Other OS feature was taken out and now they have limited the third party usb devices. Great and well its great to have a system secured and all but does Sony need to take out features or limit the PS3 just to combat piracy. Is there no other way and the best way is the one nobody wants due to invasion of privacy. Ok so we can hook up cameras to PS3 and 360 i.e. Kinect and PS eye. How about take a real life picture of all gamers that sign up to PSN or xbox live gold. This will truly end piracy due to the fact that say corporations know how you look like in real life. For this username and passwords well they are not working.

Something I noticed, the font is bold again. Noticed it while using the browser (at least it changed something else.)

Firmware updates are now incremental, so hopefully this is a small (quick) download.

I fully support any move to tighten security if it stops these scumbag cheap-ass pirates!

Edit: Just noticed a comment from enkeixpress, seems like its not a small download, interesting :)

Was small, did nothing. But also took no time. On with my day of chopping through my back catolgue of games.

I noticed that trophies sync the way they used to with the small percentage then it shooting to 100 percent. Other than that tho, I did not really notice anything different.

Anyone else can't log in into PSN? It says it can't detect my connection, which is bull, my laptop uses the same wifi connection and obviously its working fine. SO, this update did something to my connection, it wont detect it....

Cat and mouse with the hackers. See what you hackers have done now we all have to deal with useless firmware updates that wouldn't have been needed. It might only take 2 mins but damn that 2 mins on GT5!!

Awesome. One more useless update for the PS3 that takes 10-15 minutes to download, then install.

I also like how the PS3 told me I needed to update before using Netflix, then backed out and tried a few more times and it just let me use it.

I own both consoles, and when it comes to system updates or downloading demos or game updates, Sony is riding the fail whale.

Fanboys with only PS3s who take product criticism personally will disagree.

update was small and took no time to download and even faster to install,i just wish the ps3 had background updates, but not a big problem at all,i can't believe how some people have issues with little updates its not like we get them every week or some thing,stop makeing more of a deal out of it then it is.

Wow another useless update. Of course sony fanboys are pretending to be excited as usual. Oh well, atleast you get to keep your features with this one.

I have big hopes for a capture feature since the beginning of this generation. Everytime i was like " Please this time make it happen plese! " Now 4 years have past and my hopes are for another generation. I refused to buy a capture device if my console got the feature from the day i bought it! It really pisses me off! I just wanna put my hundreads of hours gaming moments on the net and share them with the world!

Just please dont start that " Capture feature is inside PS3 and its up to devs! " thing again please!

Still sony asstards fanboys dont understand nothing

The scene is much more than piracy

Wow, how can a fanboy be so retarded

God damnit... Another USELESS update. Sony! WTF!?

Another update, Another disappointment.

It's got to the stage where I feel were somewhat in the stone age of gaming when it comes to PS3.
We wanna see something new and fresh not security updates or browser updates that make barely a difference.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
