lol about time. Anyway – thanks for the update.
yay for another vague update! ;)
well what about the bluetooth issue :'(
Also… seriously guys… patch notes- every time, no exceptions….
Any news on Life with Playstation?
Sweet!!! Just saw when I was playing Soul Calibur 4 :D
For some reason I love these updates.
Bring me more!
Thanks Eric!
Any update on life with playstation? Thanks!
Thanks for the info Eric. :)
In English: This update adds support for Life with Playstation launching this Thursday :P
It was confirmed for this month at E3 and since it did’nt come built in to this firmware it must be a PSN Download :)
i cant dl it to many people trying to at same time :(
@8 yea i wonder if we are still getting it by the end of the month which is soon
Good, it would be nice to have the Release Notes for the Firmware, like the one on the Playstation.com Firmware page. (Although that takes a day or two to appear.)
That would eliminate alot of the questions, and try to be more specific, like what titles will play better… something like that.
As someone said before, Another Vague Update.
Great but still vague!
Cool, thanks.
I really wish SCE would actually mention what titles they speak of with these updates. Also, does this update include PS2 titles as well, or only PS3 and PSOne?
Thanks for the update.. and info
So no updates on this Playstation Life thing?
Wow, ppl even complain when an update comes up, sad.
Thanks for update Eric, keep up the good job :)
I second the question about Life with PlayStation.
Tretton said “by the end of the month” at E3. So where is it?
thanks guys, sorry for all the questions from my fellow earthlings..haha
Nice but Erick can you tell us which games will the firmware affect?
they’re not complaining, at least some were asking questions with hope old st. Eric will address them.
What ever happened to faster downloads(smaller files) and install times of firmware updates on the PS3 Eric?
Thank you for the update. It is much appreciated.
Yay! Thanks. any info about when will the PSN comes to Latinamerica?
ty and go to bed its late to be still working
I wonder what this is?
Seriously, Eric, that description is useless. How about telling us specifically what games playback was improved for? You might have well have said “we fixed stuff.”
Yupp, getting error message and cant load it. (80710723)
Many have been saying the Trophies are loading faster. Is that part of the update?
Playback? So will games look better lol :D
Life with Playstation?
Fancy, my error number changed now
What games, exactly? Why don’t you guys ever provide a list?
Here’s the DL link for those who cant download it from their PS3 (like me)

Better late than never, Eric.
You sure there might not be something in this update to set-up for Life with PlayStation?
Also, any word on when we’ll see sequential playback and playlists for videos? I’d REALLY like to see that happen (my PSP can do the first one; I don’t understand why my PS3 can’t).
My download was hella slow, so I canceled and restarted it, now it’s giving me an error message! HELP!
We want a new web browser with flash ver. 9!
Stop bringing out such PS3 firmware updates! It sucks! Just update those specific PS33 games that may have an issue.
Off topic
Where the hell is my PSP Gran Turismo! Been waiting years now!
Yeah, wasn’t PlayStation Life suppose to be this week? Or has that been delayed like everything else PS related?
Cool Cool the less in game probs the better :)
As for the “vague” comments,there not really being vague if there is nothing more to say.
In the PC world this would be known as a “driver” update. Witch many times brings us nothing new just added stability.
And do we really need them to list every game this update will help?
I don’t!
Like knowing is going to change what and how i play. No matter what im going to play the games i like and ether it will play good or it wont…end of story.
Yep I’ve been getting an error trying to connect and update all night…
#4 had it right. “patch notes- every time, no exceptions….”
if you get the error message just restart the system it should connect to PSN without roblems
Do you guys know when you will be able to fix the blue-tooth mic problem cause by the 2.4 update? Or does this update fix that also?
Anyway, any firmware is a good firmware.
Please, just one question.
Is Playstation Life still on track for Thursday? If not, when should we expect it?
Thanks again!
