Hi everyone, in our continued effort to provide the best, most comprehensive entertainment experience possible, we’ll be adding a few new features to PlayStation 3 (PS3) via the latest system software update, which is a mandatory update and will be available shortly. Most notably, you’ll see some new sorting options within Trophies that make it easier to claim bragging rights among your friends on PlayStation Network.
- Trophy enhancements –- Now you can more easily sort trophies in the [Trophy Collection] and [Comparing Trophy] sections. Sorting can be done with [Trophy Collection] in the [Game Category] and also when comparing trophies with your friends in the [Friend Category]
- Trophy Folder (Title List) can be sorted by game name/ by title according to the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
- Add-on list (Group list) can be sorted by original/the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
- Trophy list can be sorted by original/trophy name/grade/date of obtaining the trophy (ascending/descending)
In addition, this update preps the PS3 system for some upcoming new features, including 3D stereoscopic gaming, which is coming soon to PS3, in time for the launch of Sony’s 3D BRAVIA TVs.
Let us know your thoughts and as always, we look forward to your feedback.
The last two updates are just a damn waste of bandwidth. I guess I should be grateful Sony didn’t decide to pull more features with this update and then try to charge me for them. This update should have been optional. I am sorry but System preparation for 3D features for Sony’s upcoming Bravia 3D-compatible televisions doesn’t strike me as worth the download. Who in their right mind would pay hundreds extra for an inferior Sony TV when Samsung owns them in every way. Note to Sony trying to lock in everyone into your crap fantasy DRM infested world is driving customers away, you are not so hip and cool like Apple where you can turn the screws and monetize your fanbois. Sony’s trophy system seems to be more trouble than its worth (funny how the games without the trophys worked when Sonys crap firmware thought it was 2/29/10 which by the way they have not fixed still). Look Sony I don’t expect you to give me lots of new cool features in the update (though you probably should after pulling one of the few features that made you better than Micro$haft). I do, however, expect you to quit forcing me to download hundreds of megabytes every few weeks for worthless updates that only serve to enrich your shareholders.
Sony could take a cue from one of Nofriendo’s most annoying sidekicks. Fans of a certain elven hero will know EXACTLY who I’m talking about when I say:
“WAKE UP!! HEY! LISTEN!!”
xbox is already out-dated and now w/the 50% red light of death rate ps3 newcomers are growing every day. wii is good 4 family gaming and thats fine, it’s cheap. i’d like to get voice mail feature, and oh yea, BROWSER UPDATE!!!!!!
Where is the web update?
Im still going crazy with the glitch in oblivion, the quest for curing vamperism doesn’t work properly…….such a pain…the developers should have made an update for that eons ago..
hhmm sony adult gamers think alot, its like so what lets us delet trophyis
for games we dont play or maby them all
i really wish that an update would allow us to play music from our hard drive in any game that can be accessed from the in game xmb. i wanna play mw2 to nickelback playing in the in game background.
So .. am I the only one having problems with their internet crashing every time I try to download the update? The furthest its gotten is .. 34% or some such, I think, and then it’ll disconnect. Talk about a pain in the neck.
gimme that new browser already!!
Thanks for Update 3.30 , it fixes youtube & some pages dont froze no more…. I guess that the automatic reports do work….Also when 3D becames available can you make your TV’S with the 3D screen included on front cause I HATE PUTTING GLASSES ON!!…..& any 3D TV from a diferent company will work?…And finally when are you releasing PSN V.I.P.?…. I dont mind paying for extra features..if paying its what you want for good features then be it … I WANNA PAY FOR A MUCH BETTER PSN !!! 100$ a year should suffice.
Dude is it just me or is everyone else not able to sign into the PSN!? Why the [DELETED] is this happening again…..I’m the proud owner of a 60GB Phat Model….and last update messed everything up with the phats only….if anyone is having the same problem lemme know because this is ridiculous already man! I know the 360 doesn’t have as many connectivity issues like this goddamn contraption. I still love my PS3 though! :)
hey thats is great but I am tired of getting dropped out in the middle of a game. I know that it is not my internet connection because I am always checking it. How about a little help on this. Been playing for about an hour and have not been able to even complete one online match. Kinda making me mad.
juggalorider, you nailed it about the other OS, it near eliminates the possibility of hacking. i liked the option, but there’s losers w/nothing better to do than F w/other ppl’s good time, WHOOP WHOOP NINJA!!!
You guys are doing a great job. Nevermind to all these whiners. They believe that if they buy a system, they are owed the world. If the system is not up to your guys’ standards, than jump ship. I’m sure Sony wouldn’t mind losing a bunch of whiners.
@Worst companyEver you are very stupid, im glad you got lock out of the psn, buy a freakin computer if you want that OS, its made for a computer, an stop lieing about the psn its free an always will be, they said they might add a new service for exta things like betas an stuff before any one else, an they even said that everything the psn offers now well remain free
Also. The web download needs to be up and available. Kthx.
hhmm sony its like sonys ninjas dont do things right at all
Still can’t connect to the PSN!? WTF is going on here? Anyone else having the same problems? Lemme know
has anyone at sony thought of adding a feature that can play music while in game…? thats the only thing xbox has on us.
Yes Yes I love you Sony so much you rule! Please keep the 200 meg downloads that either take away features or add features we need to spend thousands on other Sony products to take advantage of coming. You should release an update every other day. I love downloading instead of actually playing games I have already bought. The download bar is so much more interesting than any game I could be playing.
what i really care about is: BRING BACK THE LOGO AND SOUND WHEN YOU START A GAME!!,
it has been in all consoles all over the years, and such a console promosing 3d tech and “move” controls does not have that chime that makes you feel prepared to play a game, even consoles from 90 s have it.so cmon bring that back!!
by the way its taking yeaaaaaars to download…3 hours and just 37% and its 2 am here ..pretty odd, tried to download it from the PC but its still not available
stop rushing this kind of updates!
well i can connect just fine but little big planet wont work online for some reason
This is pretty soon after the last update. It’s frustrating after a hard day when sitting down to enjoy some LBP only to find that I have to spend an hour or so of my spare time downloading the latest update and then hope that the power doesn’t glitch while it’s installing (and bricking my system.) Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against the updates, I just wish Sony would pace them farther apart instead of releasing them every few weeks or so.
Its not downloading cuz the PSN is down for some people i guess its been down for me right after i downloaded the new update….complain and maybe someone will answer soon….
can we have linux back?
yeah.
Meh..who cares about 3D? Can you put some drive management tools in there? Maybe some better ways to organize media and some additional video codecs? Oh yeah, and update the Media Streaming network code so that its actaully stable.
How about better Flash support too?
But again, Trophies and 3-D – Meh. Just make the games good and they will come…
…oh yeah and the Playstation move – again Meh.
Still pissed about OtherOS.
Don’t give a crap about new other updates until that’s fixed.
-..-
Certainly won’t be buying a launch console next gen.
i keep getting this…
“An error has occured. You have been signed out of the Playstation Network.” (80710092)
WHAT THE [DELETED]!?
200 meg downloads are not enough. Sony needs to pad their firmware so it takes a full DVD or so to update. Come on Sony make the download bigger and please release updates several times a week. Downloading is such great fun!
karmatron, shut your mouth about charging us… it’s one of the top reasons i chose sony. it makes all ps3 owners equal, it would make games w/multi player functions worthless if you can’t afford the network. sony wants us all playing as much as possible, to charge us would make ps3 no better than xbox
The new update is not great because when you compare trophies, they are either ranked by name or by date so it’s not easy to see which games you have in common with your friend ! Formerly, the games that you have in common with your friend were listed first !!!
Also please bring an option to delete games that you have 0% trophies. I’ve downloaded a demo that installed a trophy entry and now it will stay at 0% forever !
You know, I’m getting pretty tired of people who keep ripping at Sony for “Cross Game Chat”.
Big deal, we didn’t get it, STOP FREAKING ASKING. Holy crap, you guys are sounding like 7 year olds, nagging Mom or Dad for candy. If Sony would have wanted us to have it, they would have given it to us already. A feature that does the same as that thing with numerical buttons. What was that called again? Oh, right, a PHONE.
You are on your Playstation to play games or watch movies, Not to sit and hold on a conversation with some one.
*sigh* Gamers these days and their ridiculous ideas.
Any who, Good update Sony! I can sort mu trophies to finally find out which sets I platinum-ed first! :P
I want to be able to play music while in game. I’m thiiiiiiis close to selling my PS3 for a Microsoft console that will probably work better with my windows systems anyways! Microsoft’s multilayer is much nicer and I could care less about the monthly charge, do a better job Sony.
I would like otheros back. I haven’t been online ever since the last update, and i really would like to download some rockband tracks.
Why is everyone focusing on the features or lack of new ones of any value? Don’t you understand life is a journey not a destination. Its all about the purity of the update process itself. IMHO Sonys updates are not near big enough and don’t occur often enough. Learn to love the ZEN and the magic of the download bar!!!!
WOOP TE DOO. ANOTHER POINTLESS UPGRADE… cant see any difference… 3D gaming too!! oh joy, i know i aint got $2500 for it.. not likely to either…. im still sickened uv STOLEN OS (my pc).. this update does nothing to compensate that!!!
No update for me. Still on 3.15.
the other OS is a way for hackers to break ur system & everyone elses, it was a smart move and it’s a gaming console 1st, get a pc if ur all gonna bit@# and moan that bad

>the other OS is a way for hackers to break ur system
You keep believing that having the right to run whatever you software you want on a system YOU not Sony owns is evil. Piracy is wrong. Unfortunately Sony believes any software you run where they don’t get a big cut is software you should not be allowed to run regardless if you have legal right to run it or not.
Just wow Eric. After Sony alienates a large part of their fans with taking away stuff from them they paid for you put out another update with totally uninteresting features.
Instead you prepare the console for 3D which needs us to buy another new TV. Seriously, why don’t you GIVE something to us instead of always asking for something???
We had to bare the removal of PS2 compatibilitly, SACD, card reader, USB ports and Linux. After my PS3 got the YLOD (like probably at least 50% of the first generation PS3s) all I could do was getting a totally inferior console (the Slim).
Really, this generation is a desaster after the great PS1 and PS2. And now you don’t even compensate for all that. Shame on you Sony.
Wow… i’ve got a ps3 since 4-5years by now and we still request cross game chat and sony still dont care about us… I know what im gonna do on the next gen…
u make a good point, but i’m still not wrong. hackers are scum who get their jollies at others’ loss. the other OS feature was nice but yet again, it’s a GAME CONSOLE 1st, and i don’t want it easy for those scum to send their viruses or steal information
This is a change. Adding a feature instead of taking one away. I could care less about 3D gaming. Not interested, nor am I interested in shelling out another couple grand for a 3D-capable TV.
>the other OS is a way for hackers to break ur system
You keep believing that having the right to run software you want to run on a system YOU not Sony owns is evil. Yes piracy is wrong as is running any software you don’t have the legal right to run. Unfortunately Sony believes any software you run where they don’t get a big cut is software you should not be allowed to run regardless if you have legal right to run it or not. Sony like most corporations hate the fact that not all software is proprietary. Sony also doesn’t believe users should be able run software that is not making a select few very rich at the expense of everyone else.
wow if you people have so much to complain about, then stop crying and make your own company and consoles. then you can say something. If thats too much for you then sell your PS3 and GFY! lol. ;) or how about just play your games and dont worry about Trophies and internet since thats how it was back in the 90’s. ;)
Its pointless to release another update without fixing the OtherOS issue.
Sony should drop all development on 3D support, stop focusing on pointless trophy enhancement, and put all its development resources into restoring OtherOS. It is not a technical problem. Its some idiot in middle management that everyone at Sony is refusing to out by name. In the end all this hate and discontent was caused by one manager at Sony. We deserve to know who it was.
I’m not into trophy, but this is indeed a nice feature!
I did help make this company and console, unlike most people on here I’m above the age of 30 and have invested heavily in Sony products. Why is this so hard for your generation to understand, and boy do you guys have some surprises coming your way in the future.
