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.
how do you get a hold of sony and not them out of country robots that don’t speak english.
I’d love to be able to get rid of games that have 0%, but I’d also love have the option to make DLC trophies only show up on my console if I’ve purchased the DLC. It’s frustrating to finally get 100% on a game only to have DLC come out and see that number drop to 70%, especially if you’re not interested in getting the DLC.
PS3 i a great mutimedia
machine. To make this fine Blu-ray player even better we need to be able to move the subtitles of the movie into the 2.35:1 area exactly as Philips and Oppo is able to do in their Blu-ray playes. This is a easy software fix for Sony and a way to appeal to a segment of users that is not take care of by Sony so far.

Still not going to update, until you allow other os agian. I payed for that feature, instead of buying a regular computer. now I can’t pay my bills, thanks to a cheapskate boss. So the ps3 no longer “does everything”, which was advertised. And agian the browser is becoming useless. I thought the ps3 was supposed to be the badest system, now its just becoming bad.
Reinstate other os, for the original systems atleast, and update the blasted browser already. Didn’t you promote a browser security before? Shouldn’t that be capable of defeating hackers? We all know its going to be hacked one day, but that’s no reason to devalue systems by removing key features.
I view its going the way of ps2 functionality, claim your working on it, but were never going to see it. So those of us with fat ps3’s are the only ones with it…, what’s next, you going to disable that claiming stability? Get over yourself. Institute updates optimized for the different built ps3’s, reinstate the other os, and stop bs’ing your customer/fan base, sometimes we are smarter than you think.
Are you going to respond to cheese comments or just ignore us agian?
please forget getting ahead of yourselfs and just bring in cross game chat i want to talk to my mates please please please thats all i ask and i’ll ditch my xbox
1- bring back other OS
2- skype
3- delete 0% game with trophie
4- cross game voice chat
5- better internet browser, a opera browser like the wii one would be nice
6- option to put xmb theme to stay at night option (aka stay black)
ohh i forgot
7- ps2 emulation
8- better media support with .mkv, h.264, acc and complete xvid compliance
Please Sony give us the option to change our PSN IDs. I have a lot of friends that would love to see that feature in a future patch and I know that a lot of other people would apreciate it, too.
Xbox 360 has that option, why can’t you?
Why the F is “cross game-chat” soo important????
For all you NOOBS who haven’t checked, the browser WAS improved. Youtube classic, along with streaming divx NOW WORKS. I don’t know exactly what they did but the flash player HAS BEEN IMPROVED. I APPRECIATE THIS UPDATE. GOOD JOB SONY.
Erik, answer this: A MANDATORY UPDATE, for trophies admin???? It´s a joke, no?
why I can´t play on line, without the upgrade???? Really. Please, answer!
hey playstation network can you plzzz make it so we can change our psn names im getting really sick and tired of mine think about it
The trophies sorting method is a nice touch. As for the stereoscopic 3D I’m not sure about: because right now it means nothing to me since I’m using my sister’s 32in digital SDtv. which I’ll be using until I fix the analog coax jack for cable tv. Then I’m back to a 19in mono analog only tv. Besides right now I’m not convinced about the 3D tv techology. My opinion is that it is a cheap off simlar to those red blue glasses; which do nothing except give you color blindness while you wear them. real 3D required two offset projections of the picture and horizontal/ vertical polorised glassed as taught in physics class. like when it came to LED tvs; ppl say that those are better, but all I saw only more light to brighten up the LCD screen.
On the other I would like to test out one of these 3D bravias you mention to see what they really have to offer.
where can i download the new software onto a usb stick so it doesn’t take all freeking day
maybe im a little late to complain about this but playstations music player is garbage. why cant they make it function like 360’s. At least let me listen to music while i search the menu. Talk about things that arn’t hard to fix
PS3 cool update …….just make more games where you can listen 2 music and play the game at the sametime like midnight club and Skate2
Downloading now …
guess it work out just fine. Thanks sony.
guys! make a Next gen Star wars Episode 3 xD.
I miss that game from Ps2.
When do you think that the voice chat problem will be solved? (starting a game forces you to disconnect from voice chat)
yeah block it
And what’s with the new ToS? You’re allowed to update our console without notification causing loss of data, content, functions and utilities, and you’re not responsible for any of it? Do I own this console or am I just renting it?
It seems like Sony doesn’t like getting money from their customers anymore.
Strange Buisness Logic………
You guys should make a feature that will allow us to play music while playing a game!
In Reference to comment #920:
AND YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE!!!!
I want Cross Game Chat but I guess this will have to do for now.
@Cuddlebuns PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT THAT STUPID OS
when can i download 3.30 onto USB and PS3??
I don’t understand why Sony doesn’t just disable comments on this so-called blog. What’s the point when it’s quite obvious they don’t care about their users’ opinion? I don’t see them returning anything that we “allowed” them to take. Or rather were FORCED to allow them to take just so that we could continue using the PS3 online…or for anything rather.

Erik, answer this: A MANDATORY UPDATE, for trophies admin???? It´s a joke, no?why I can´t play on line, without the upgrade???? Really. Please, answer!
“why I can´t play on line, without the upgrade????”
what, did you miss that with the “optional” update?
WASTE UPDATE. where is Other OS!?
Very Nice Update, I like the looks of the trophy stuff. But why is it you guys decide to update to 3D compatible before the Cross-Game Chat? I’m Pretty sure everyone would like a Chat Update.
Uncharted 2 Siege DLC today! yay! woo!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
D:< Why doesn't Sony update their website? I can't download the update from my PS3 because my router is broken and I can't download with my computer because they haven't updated their website!!! Sony needs to step it up! When an update comes out, make so you can update EVERY way. And stop updating the store at 5 PM! Update it at least 12 PM or something.
If I was a big company, I would want people to hate me, too.
You’re my hero, SONY!!
Hip Hip, HOORAY!!!!!
p.s. not really, you’re all a bunch of
D@#% RIDERS!!!
ATTENTION:
Report from Slashdot dot org:
–Sony Can Update PS3 Firmware Without Permission–
Stoobalou writes
“Sony’s latest firmware update comes with a revised End User License Agreement which allows the company to change any part of the console’s operating system without notification or permission. You might think you own the console you paid for, but Sony has a very different idea.”
Way to go, Sony!!
My PS3 is no longer working after the latest update (3.30). The last game I had in the tray was Mag and it became unrecognizable. I’ve tried my entire collection of games and none of them show up on the game menu. I’ve tried setting the system to automatically play disks that are loaded in the tray but to no avail. I was already very angry about the loss of one of the key selling features of the PS3 (install other OS) and now this just makes things worse. Sony, when you come out with a mandatory update for your gaming system, make sure it WORKS and is in the best interest of your customers!!!
I want OTHEROS back Sony. I do not care about this “wear glasses” 3D movement. Give us head mounted displays with resolution of at least 800×600 and are otheros or quit doing everthing. Just give up.
@935
Sony’s TOS doesn’t matter. It carries no legal weight. We did not have to agree to it at the time of purchase. Further it has been changed since the time of purchase, without consumer consent I might add.
Sony is a joke, trying to act like they can brush off corporate greed and look big and powerful with their TOS.
I know where they can stick this TOS and their products… right where they came from.
Sony, Ridge Racer V, (PS2 game), that I have begged to get a patch for in a FW update to fix the scratchy overlapping music on since day 1 of your firmware updates, seems to playback music properly *sometimes* on the 80gb CECHE01 PS3, but never plays the music back properly on my original 60gb CECHA01 console.
Can you PLEASE look into this and see if you can do a simple patch to the next firmware to fix this problem? I have been waiting patiently since release day to play my RR5 music player without the scratchy playback on my 60GB CECHA01 unit. If the CECHE01 can do it with decent results *sometimes*, then you should be able to fix the issue with the CECHA01 models.
*=sometimes it works but in between music tracks it can get even worse in static than the 60gb CECHA01 models. Its a hit and miss.
SONY Please, Please, fix this issue with the 60gb units!
For deleting games with %0 trophies, an easy solution would just not adding the list until you earn a trophy for that game.
@939
Sony is not listening. They do not are about their consumers. They care only about their pocket books.
I wish I owned the company and could fix your problem for you, because I would have replied here and said “ok. done”
hey sony we need a new browser,were is the update for that.
@ReinHeart what he said(contents of this update is useless to me, and I still use OtherOS therefor not updating till you bring back OtherOS. At least will stay that way for my PHAT system I put 600 bucks into, I paid for ALL-IN-ONE system.)
buy a computer if you want that stupid OS, an they never will bring that stupid thing back
yawn……
@narcoptik he said (Bring back OtherOS and we can talk. Also, folks, there is a line in the new TOS/EULA that allows Sony to update your system without permission in the future. Just so you know…)
first off stup up about the other OS, secound im glad they added that to the TOS/EULA, just as long as they don’t delete saved files off my system, then maybe i can see a day were no one in the world has that stupid OS on there ps3
@Sven_Viking what he siad (“The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC.”
-Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment)
really, you have a link for proof, because i don’t remenber reading these or hear about it, so im calling BS till you can put a link up to prove it
shakes head once again, all you people still complaining about the removed feature want some cheese with that whine, get over it already , it isnt coming back. and just to clue all you who think sony changed the tos agreement, they didnt, they dumbed it down so all you dumb whiners can understand what it said in the first place. and yes you do own the hardware, its yours to do as you please, on the other hand, once again the operating system software isnt yours, that is why there is a terms of service agreement, sony owns the operating system and always have. judging by the spelling and typing ive seen in the firmware update section, they had to dumb the tos down cause alot of ya cant even spell. shakes head once more. removed feature will not be coming back, and for one i am glad its gone. my ps3 is ch more secure now thank you sony
Okay, I’ll be honest, I love my ps3. I can’t really complain about losing my OS, I still have it. I also don’t care about PSN access, I rarely play online and I see most of the people on my friend list regularly. My problem is that right now, sitting in my account, there is about $100 and close to 60 games that I CAN’T TOUCH!!!! Trying to take what is mine is not something I take lightly. How do you think holding my property HOSTAGE makes me feel?
Issues Need Resolution. Repent, SONY! for your judgement is nigh,
Here you go juggalo, since you were not smart enough to figure out how to use google when someone gives you a quote…
http: //lmgtfy.com/?q=phil+harrison+we+don%27t+need+pc
Remove spaces (if you can figure out how…)
I sure see you here arguing a lot for someone who does not care.
Yeah and the lot of “y’all” that can’t seem to spell seem to be the ones fighting that Sony is within its rights… :P Just saying.
