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.

Yes, I have!! IT IS AWESOME!!!!! I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!
Updated and tried logging in and my PS3 froze then turned off and now flashing red light with a yellow light just before it :O
60GB Model UK Version
Any ideas? Was working fine before the update :O Trued switching on and off from the back and it powers up the fans then the same problem. :(
It’s cool, I like the improvements. It’s mostly cosmetic, but it does actually improve functionality.
@Kasi
Go to the forums and go to PS3 updates, one of the info threads on it has a direct download link

Update on post #302
Just spoke to my friend, told me its a yellow light of death :( Sucks I was so close to testing the new firmware, installed fine it was just as soon as I clicked on my username it happened :(
im having trouble signing in
lucky ppl i gotta wait for mine to come back from warranty 60 gig ftw…. i think
installing! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I am disgusted on how long these firmware updates take to download and install. I can’t use my PS3 until I wait out this whole ordeal. Rubbish, I say! And unless Sony adds backwards compatibility for PS2 titles into a firmware update, I really don’t care what the firmware update includes. Don’t tell me to go spend $100 on a PS2 either. That is not a solution!
IT OUT YA!!! GO GET IT!!
Okay – XMB is fatter, but I like it.
Navbar is a little small, and I hate the icon showing how many friends are on. It’s too bland.
Friends list? – Whoever thought of the greay should be shot :| It’s too in your face, too BLAHHH, and it’s just plain horrible. It doesn’t fit in at all.
I’m running 3.0 and it looks great.
However, I CANNOT sign into the PlayStation Network for some reason after updating. It just keeps saying “Signing in… Please wait.”
i am also having a problem signing in
Yay I can’t sign in now woo hoo! Seriously…I can’t sign in :(
Can’t connect to the PS network after the update :(
Oh, and no themes available.. but that’s understandable.

I also cannot sign in to PSN and its not an internet connection issue….obviously.
It wont let me long into my pan,
Anyone haivng this issue?
I’ve installed it. The first thing you’ll notice (after the new PS3 logo) is that the font size for everything is larger.
I am unable to sign back in PSN now though, it just is hanging. :(
almost everyone including me
I cant sign into psn after update anyone else having this problem?
yea cant sign in as well…too much traffic or what?
I don’t like the big thick gray bar on the friend list, any way of make them disappear without rolling back to the classic theme?
me
This new update has made it so I can’t access the Playstation Network.
i donno its annoying i cant play codwaw
i cant sign in for some reason! :(
I think #132 said it best:
“When are you going to give us some VIDEO GAME RELATED FEATURES for a change?”
The main and only feature I even want added is PS2 Backward Compatibility.
All 3.0 does is clutter up my menus, add some bling [that I have to pay for, and can’t even edit myself!], and clutter up my menus some more.
Also it changes the default when I turn the machine on from “play a game” to “spend some money”. Wow, what a fantastic thing. I don’t think I’ll even update until someone confirms I can turn off most of this junk.
why is everything soo big, is that supposed to happen?
I can’t sign in right now. Phooey.
