UPDATE: The PS3 Firmware (v3.00) update is now live. You can use this update to upgrade your system software to version 3.00.
Just in time for the official launch of the 120 GB PlayStation 3, PS3 Firmware (v3.00) will be available shortly. As detailed during gamescom 09, 3.00 will introduce a number of great features, including “What’s New,” a redesigned status indicator and Friends List, and support for new avatars and dynamic themes.
We look forward to your feedback once the update goes live.
I have to agree with Gideony
Good job on the consistent firmware updates.
Now all we need is some cross game chat system and we should be set.

I’m not changing my avatar either, I love Sly, and that’s been my avi since 2006.
Though, if they release a Kai from Heavenly Sword avi, I might switch, cuz that’s my name.
thank you sony! the best feature is game resume!! now all i have to do is just quit a game and not worry about a save point… my girlfriend will love this! lol
skype will come soon on ps3
oovoo is much better
Thanks Eric and the rest of the PSN team!!!
Updates like these are the reason i always choose Sony products.
Is the update definitive?
Don’t suppose you can tell us what time it’ll be up? I hope there are new Daxter avatars! Can’t wait!

M$ sells all that consoles because users buy another console when their get broken. Some PS3 user buy a 360 because their got brokent and don’t have another $400 to buy the console. So now everything is supposed to change.
I want 3.0 right now tahnks sony 4 everything
omg it’s out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jk
What what what!!!!! 120GB ONLY!?! AW MAN I WANNA 80 GB!
Could you add the possibility for us to keep the ‘dark-black’ color without changing into another color evertime?
That is the *only* color I can’t find available in the list. Although I love the fact it can vary throughout the day, but I would like to just keep *dark-black* or whatever you want to call it.
when!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? should i go to bed?
is it gonna b out at 12 am eastern time?
I LOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUUUU SONY~!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!! SONY FOREVER!!!!!!!! PS3~!!!!! ^_^

I have a suggestion for a feature in a future update.
I’d like a option to swap the functions of the R1/L1 and the R2/L2 buttons. A lot of shooters lack the option to swap them. A option available from the in-game XMB would be awesome. I like the trigger buttons in racing games but I prefer to use R1 and L1 for shooting. It would be nice to have the option in all games so that we will always have a choice.
@DTHCND
Wait today??? Or do you mean tomorrow??? What do you define shortly as??? srry, but WOW I must be high, I see swrily corlour lightsss,., lol jk. CNT W8!!!
@212 –> There’s no such thing as game resume… ???
that sucks. i was hoping it would come out tonight. damn sony, imminent my ass!!
@235
LMFAO dude that link is here sooo……….
my guess it will be 9pm pacfic and 12am eastern time.
Why is it Sony always does this to us ‘old’ PS3 owners? it’s bad enough we dont get backwards compatibility but they should give us the update a couple of days earlier. After all this hastle PS3 network better be better than xbox live.
OK…come on guys, don’t make us wait to mauch ok?
Thanks for the hard work!
@aj2good4you
