1,326 0

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.

  • Oh and STILL no fix for the clock bug! Providing the best features and keeping our units safe…

  • wow great update-now that the UNWANTED AND UN-ASKED FOR STUFF is over with give us something useful like CROSS GAME INVITES, CROSS GAME CHATE, AND CUSTOM MUSIC IN GAMES. IF YOU CANT MANNAGE THAT STOP MAKING ME D/L POINLESS UPDATES.

  • You all realize this update is just to try and make everyone get excited for 3D…Just to try to cover their @#$es for the last update (Downgrade). Also they are going to continue to come out with these garbage updates just to make it difficult for the people who are trying to save linux by making custom firmware to keep it from being lost… I’m really not impressed…and on that note you can take 3D and stick it ;)

  • X-GAME INVITES , X-GAME CHATE , CUSTUME MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Please have Linux or something to make the internet faster! Also it’s great you guys are working on 3D capabilities. But I’ll be waiting for those 3D TV’s to lower in price. Keep up the good work!

  • nice to see some of the “Share” ideas going up. keep em comin

  • I’ve got nothing to complain about. Sony does their best for nothing. The only income they have is console sales and partner proffits, they don’t charge us to play our games online, so take what you can get for updates, and stop complaining. Besides, their still the best console out there :P

  • Pointless. Useless.

    This is what you guys waste your time updating?

    How about FIX the hole in the “Install Other OS” that allows for modding instead of getting rid of such a useful feature that millions of your customers use legitimately? Maybe try using the time you wasted on making this update to fix the hole.

    Asshats.

  • fix the web browser

  • I hope you solved that major problem that happens when you restore a backup and you start a game that support trophies for the first time after that.

    What happens is this: it shows none of your trophies when you’re in game. It was really scary to see that I had NO GoW III trophies after I restored my backup. The second time around that I started the game, the trophies were there. And if in your previous play through you were awarded a trophy, it won’t show the previous trophies until you synchronize with the server.

    After all, I know it works, but please make it work better. Other users don’t have to go through this heart stopping experience ;)

    And the backup process of the 60GB model with 45GB in use takes around 2 or 2.5 hours, the restore process takes even more. That’s a lot. I hope you guys can improve the process.

    Update finished, just heard the startup sound. Let me check the differences.

  • are my posts as stupid as your update yet???????????????????????

  • Man, thats a whole lotta update for something that i know quite a few people do not even use… pointless, bout 45 minutes of waisted time, i could be playing instead of waiting and waiting for this update i will NEVER use, but i agree with everyone else, we need a browser update badly

  • I’ll be happy the day an update says X-Game chat function added. Now that would be a great update.

  • update flash player

  • How about PS2 backwards compatibility? Oh wait, that was removed to save $$$. Ok, how about restoring Other OS? No, that won’t happen because of piracy concerns.

    Then how about more support for different video types, such as MKV’s, or better web browsing? My PS3 is basically a media server and PS2 at this point as I want to keep my Ubuntu install and don’t want to loose it to play games online and don’t want to bother with doing a proxy hack. I think I’ll have to buy more PC games now, except for those with bad DRM like Ubisoft.

  • Awesome! Thanks for the update guys, SO pumped for 3D gaming :).

  • How about you guys come up with an update that will allow us to play old PS2 games. I mean come on now,you guys are Sony. There’s nothing impossible for you. You would make a lot of your coustomers very very happy,including me. Keep up the good work.

  • You know you guys can get an XBox for Cross-game chat. Sony doesn’t owe you anything other than what they give you. No, I’m not just “taking it” like some idiot is going to say.

    I’m happy they’re improving the experience. A lot of people forget where PS3 started, and where it is now. Would you like your Other OS back but with the browser based slow-as-hell PSN store, no in-game XMB, no custom soundtracks of ANY kind, no DTS-MA support, original PS2 emulation for us 60GB owners (horrible and jaggy), no QWERTY keyboard, no background downloading, no rumble, no upscaling, no RGB full range, no wallpaper, no playlists, no video chat with PSEye, no freaking clock at all in the XMB, and NO TROPHIES AT ALL. This is just a fraction of the things that were added later. Jesus, just take a chill pill everybody and support them and maybe they might improve what you want improved.

    I know I love working for somebody who constantly whines and complains and gives no gratitude for anything.

  • SO A BLOND WALKS INTO A DRUG STORE AND ASKES WHERE THE SUPER HUGE MANGNUM SIZED CONDOMS ARE, THE CLERK SAYS THEIR RIGHT HERE,WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY A BOX? SHE SAYS NO BUT CAN I WAIT AROUND TILL SOME ONE DOES?

  • ATREYU, CUSTOM MUSIC EXISTS. It’s up to developers to implement it. Give you wall-of-whine to them. Must be magic that I play Killzone 2 multiplayer while I listen to my own music, then.

  • You had people download an update to kill otherOS when you knew this was coming out within weeks? For shame guys, you know that the more times you make people update the more chances there are for unit failure. If you think I’m letting go otherOS, I am not. I will be back here anytime its even remotely relevant. I paid for it, you took it. Putting aside your fancy legal talk, anyone would see what you have done as theft plain and simple. If I am just LEASING my console and you have the right to remove stuff from it then I believe you should also have the responsibility to maintain and service all of these millions of consoles don’t you? Isn’t that how leasing things works? I have a house full of Sony equipment, rest assured there are other brands that I can and will choose from for my household electronics. New feature, update your PS3 every couple of weeks so it bricks faster! Awesome!
    For those asking about a better web browser, the otherOS that you all didn’t care about runs firefox beautifully and has NEVER crashed, unlike the cheapo XMB browser which crashes every 10 minutes…

  • Wanna bring a cool update ??
    bring any of these , or all of ’em if possible

    Better internet browser
    Support *srt Subtitles
    Support for NTFS external HDs

    all of this trophy stuff is useless

  • Thanks, Eric, sounds good. Not really interested in the 3D gaming with the glasses and whatnot, I’ll wait a few years til they have the TVs where you don’t need glasses.

    Oh, and I love you.

    Welcome to the removal of OtherOS.

  • Any chance you guys can make trophies transferable to a different PSN ID? It’s kind of like asking to be able to change our PSN IDs for a fee, but easier and with less problems I imagine.

    Also, on an unrelated note I’d like to be able to down vote some of the comments on here, kind of like Digg or even Youtube, because some of the comments border on annoying and/or spam. Let the community enforce each other is all I’m asking.

    Oh, and thanks for the update.

  • Lame update: Entirely trivial and pointless features; why mandatory??? Huge slow download. This does nothing for me except waste my gaming time.

  • YAY!! More crap to clutter up the XMB and waste my time with downloading it. Why is it that EVERY stupid update is MANDATORY or else you’re blocked from PSN? I just want to play online. I don’t care how little of a life my PSN friends have or don’t, so I don’t check their silly trophies and I don’t give a rat’s you know what about my own.

    So this update(like the last bajillion) does NOTHING for me.

    Give me the supposed ‘bug fixes’ and let me uncheck all of this useless CRAP, Sony.

    As for adding in the junk for the 3-D tv’s coming out soon, SHOVE ‘EM. I won’t own a 3-D tv unless it’s $200 or less, so again, more crap cluttering up the XMB for junk I’ll never use.

    If you wanted to do something useful, allow us to pick and choose what we want in our updates, since I know I’d never choose the Facebook icons, 90 PS Store icons, this 3-D garbage and 90-95% of the rest of the fluff you idiots have added.

    The only semi useful item you morons added was text chat and no one I know even uses that function anymore, so it’s JUST as useless as the rest of this junk now.

  • I thought the 3D games would be released only in july/august… Why upgrade to that tech in April? Well, I guess this beta testing didn’t go through Cyrus’ hands…. LOL

  • This update is good, but please let us delete trophies with 0% from the trophy list.

  • @ LIVEBETES IM GLAD YOUR HAPPY WITH A SYSTEM THAT CANT EVEN DO THINGS THE ORIGINAL XBOX 1 COULD DO!!!! NOW STFU

  • I know it’s probably too much to ask, but maybe we could get a decent music player/organizer/juke box or whatever you want to call it. At the VERY least could we get better AV for during music playback. I imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult to include something like this in an update.

    A couple things Id like to see regarding this:

    1) AV with beat detection, so the AV reacts to the music.
    2) AV customization.

    Basically what I (& Im sure a few others here) would like to see, is something that could at least Rival if not 1-up Micro$ofts WinAmp/MediaPlayer.

    Alas, I will go curl up in the corner now and await dissapointment…..

  • I like the sorting feature for trophies but I would like one for the games that are stored on my HDD, AFAIK there is no way to sort the games by name :(

    Something like that is probably more important that sorting trophies. I personally have no interest in the 3D gaming feature just yet but I guess you can chalk one up for Sony with that feature and I’m sure we will find out just how good it could be @ E3.

  • hi an Good Day SONY,AND WHAT ABOUT OTHER OS , YOUT BACK YHIS FEATURES OR…., I APRECIAYESD SO MUCH AND PLEASE FIX THE BROWSER TOO. THANKS

  • GIVE US SOMETHING THAT WE ACTUALLY WANT FOR ONCE!!

  • thanks for the effort
    appreciate the update, cant wait to see what is in store for the PS3 future

  • I wish they would focus these updates on the things people actually care about. Of course I can only speak for myself but I could care less about 3d games or trophy improvements. I’d much rather see them spend their time working on features that are missed or non-existant:Such as, video playback in the xmb background, more custom track compatible psn titles, more demos for those games that just come out in the store with nothing more than a trailer to back them up, a psn app store, and video & music sharing. Though its highly doubtfull they’ll actually listen, these are just a few features that would make ps fans happy. -DavidMoore730

  • I’ve always wondered.

    Who the hell do you guys hire, to determine what gamers want in an update ? Monkeys or something ?

    I love the trophy thing an all but this looks like a weak compensation for taking away peoples OS.

    Seriously who do you guys hire to make update features ?

  • 22 is right I got a few trophy listed just because I tried the demo I would like to remove them!

  • MY WALL OF WHINE THAT S THE MOST BESTES CLEVER THING IN THE WORLD I SHOULD JUST LISTEN TO YOU CUS UR A SMART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i want party chat sony if you could do that it would be soo cool. 360 would have nothin on us. :)

  • Doesn’t seem like a big update, but I’ll take it anyway. TY!

  • You can still watch youtube on your PS3 browser, you just have to use youtube.com/xl for now. Works nicely just make sure you have your youtube account to use the best resolution whenever possible and it looks okay.

  • so many complaints for a update to improve the trophy list, this just shows how spoiled Sony has made its fans lol
