PS3 System Software Update (v4.11)

PSBlog: Later tonight we’ll be releasing an optional system software update (v4.11) for PlayStation 3. This minor firmware improves certain aspects of system software, and is not mandatory to connect to PSN.

Again, this update is optional in the US and Canada, and can be downloaded by selecting System Update from the Setting column of the XMB.

Key part of the sentence: "This minor firmware improves certain aspects of system software"

Solid_Snake375209d ago

Thanks for the input Captain Obvious

Frenza5209d ago

The update is mandatory in EU..

CynicalVision5208d ago

vstep is right, at least in the UK it's mandatory.

torchic5208d ago (Edited 5208d ago )

yup true. wanted to play some LBP2 online but couldn't without the mandatory software update.

BISHOP-BRASIL5208d ago

In Brazil (SCEA runs PSN here) it's mandatory too.

Don't know about other SCEA territories (USA, Canada, Mexico, etc), have anyone tested to verify if it's really optional anywhere? (not that it's a bid deal anyway)

otherZinc5208d ago

WTF! Again?

This is ridiculous!

Armyless5208d ago

Why is an update ridiculous?

deep_fried_bum_cake5208d ago

Armyless
It's ridiculous because people like otherZinc can't be bothered waiting a short while for their service to be improved. People seem to think that there are far more updates on PSN than there actually are.

ziggurcat5208d ago

yes, it's utterly ridiculous that sony would want to improve their system and your experience by offering FW updates...

Finalfantasykid5208d ago

Ya, updates are addictive. I love when my computer has updates, I check for them like every hour :D

Why o why5208d ago (Edited 5208d ago )

you lot might be taking the mick but im always checking for updates on my android and i actually enjoy it

edwineverready5208d ago

@why o why not taking the mick. i also enjoy my app updates. i search for them to :)

Cra2yey35209d ago

Doing this cause 4.10 is not smooth, it kinda broke the Internet browser.

Snookies125208d ago

Actually the internet browser was broken on the previous update before 4.10, it would freeze all the time, 4.10 fixed it quite a bit, but it's still not where it was before these updates. Can't watch videos smoothly like I used to. :\

RioKing5208d ago

yeah, gotta watch those videos smoothly

;)

Snookies125208d ago

Lol, well when they mess up to the point of a frozen image on the screen half way through with audio still going... That's when I have some issues with it is all I'm saying.

Dee_915208d ago

i get alot of red x's on .. some .. sites .. (0_0 )

kma2k5208d ago

Am i the only one that gets "do you want to run plugin" every time i start the browser? Its really anoying!

KingOptimus7775209d ago

so this update is for software and not the hardware

bwazy5209d ago

Really? Darn, I was hoping the update world add 256mbs of ram to my system :(

/s

KingOptimus7775208d ago

It was a question my god whats up with the disagrees

SilentNegotiator5208d ago (Edited 5208d ago )

Because updates are for the system's software. What you asked was very redundant.

Like asking if an oil change is for your car or just the oil tank.

But hey, there's nothing wrong with being ignorant in some subjects. But your post was like posting my example in a car enthusiast forum. You'd get lots of funny responses and disagrees (if such an option existed on said forum).

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle22d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7722d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde29d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy30d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12529d ago (Edited 29d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
