  • My update worked perfectly on the first try. Thanks Sony for making sure that the PS3 doesn’t get hacked any more. Screw the hackers for ruining the great COD4.

  • well they made it so i cant even get online with my games im signed in but apparently the update hosed a lot of ppls connections in games. get your [DELETED]; together Sony and stop blowin up PS3s because your worried about piracy thats only gunna further ppls use of it

  • Seriously when will we get some new features? The past like 3 updates have been security updates.

  • my patch downloaded good. feel sorry for all of them hackers lol sucks to be u rite now lol

  • will it fix error code 80023102????????
    it wont let me add funds

  • Mine downloaded fine too – no problems…

  • Maybe we’ll get another “minor” patch to address a “security concern” in within 48 hrs…lol.

  • If PSN would actually give us updates with new apps that we want then people wouldn’t need to hack their PS3s but of course there to freaking busy making updates that only stall hackers before they hack it again. Why don’t they make an update that gives us private chat in games instead of at the system menu?

  • @true2theblue..yeaaa..3.56 was cracked already..and on another note..i see nothing new in this update now that its finally done

  • glad i switched over to ps3. xbox RRD and kinect update AKA disk drive breaker got annoying. Now ps3 getting rid of hackers :) yay!

  • took about 30 minutes, no problems downloading or installing

  • Wait what? Firmware just came out. Been less than 12 hours and already hacked?

    Ugh.

    Sony failed.

  • I also agree with the team chat. If ps3 had that xbox would die off slowly

  • Downloaded and installed flawlessly in less than 30 minutes. Not to bad considering I use DSL.

  • Seriously, this type of updates sucks. no upgrades, only stuff that cause people to hack the ps3. i haven’t seen any functionality(useful) in the latests updates. and sony doesn’t need any group for gathering info and knowing that big part of the community is “angry” or “crying” for NEW STUFF. what not even the ps store….strange japenese games, what about einhander? cross game chat? the ui could be improve, instead knowing the latest stuff on store. meh

  • WHY DONT YOU ADD CROSS GAME CHAT JESUS CHRIST

  • Google tv in the Xmb come on don’t be slow with this Sony

  • You want cross game chat? There’s this marvelous invention called a telephone, try it.

  • I’m guessing the next big firmware update will be near E3 2011.

    Firmware 3.60 maybe???

  • Already hacked before I could even finish downloading the damn thing. Ridiculous.

  • Here’s a thought Sony, stop making pointless updates to try to stop hacking…it’s just dumb you can’t stop hackers they will just find another exploit! So [DELETED] stop making me download these [DELETED] updates that take like 40 minutes for a “security patch” that doesn’t work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Maybe they’ll just skip and go to like version 6.0…lol.

  • Don’t think we’ll be seeing Update 4.00 this year with the way how slow these updates come.

  • Like i said, expect a jump to 6.0

  • I could care less about cross game chat or any other new kind of feature. I just want to be able to play Socom without people using superjump or infinite health or unlimited ammo. These tools who exploit games are lowlifes who should have their PS3s banned and be put away in prison for piracy.

  • @ 412

    Thats a BIG jump lol

  • don’t so much as mind the attention to secuirity , but dang … it’s like getting socks for christmas .

  • lol @ “security patch”

    nice 1 sony .. keep em coming haha

  • Sorry Sony, maybe next time, you might learn how to use ECDSA, and we won’t have to pillage your console, and online community…

  • been trying to download this for an hour and a half now….slow as hell, and then gets an error around 40% of the way through. gonna take longer to d/l and install this thing, then it did for people to already crack it.

  • ahhhh i hope the hacks will now STOP XD

  • i guess like everyone who has trouble downloading:

    a. has a hacked console
    or
    b. has crappy internet service
    or
    c. trying to download at a time when the servers are super busy

  • already hacked -_-

  • lol to everybody in here claiming the system doesn’t need features like cross game chat.

    people demand product
    company produces half assed product
    people don’t like product
    company doesn’t care
    people stop buying product
    company pulls out of market

    I’m starting to have Nam-like flashbacks of me buying a sega dreamcast…..

  • xxnike629xx
    you do not know [DELETED]!
    A) mine never was hacked ( but will be from now on [DELETED] there stuff looks better than sony’s)
    B) if 10mb/sec is crappy
    C) Sony’s falure agian crappy servers

  • Dreamcast FTW!

  • This is soooooooo stupid!!! [DELETED] Hackers! But George Hotz is a legend for the Apple iPhone/iPod Jailbreak :) sick as crap!

  • Here we go people crying where’s new stuff etc…Piss off, get off sonys balls!! It will come when its ready!!

  • LULZ! Already a DNS trick to get online without updating. Sony you fail so badly but at least I was finally able to download the dang update that will do absolutely nothing.

  • my console is not hacked and my internet is great servers? probably?

  • @Trueboricua

    Visual memory units ftw!

    still got one with tetris on it lol

  • you know sony cares when they won’t even explain why the update is mandatory, since we all already know it’s to remove custom firmware (which doesn’t even ban the custom firmware user’s psn or remove any hacks or homebrew; just makes them inoperative FOR NOW.) Sony lost the piracy battle just like Microsoft and Nintendo. they fighting a lost battle. I’m not a pirate, but i still disagree with sony’s position on media player hacking (in order to add mkv support unlike sony), and hacking for genuine non pirating homebrew like that ftp server hack someone made. Ah well. maybe 1 day sony will grow up as a company. until then…

  • hackers will be back

  • and u idiots need to stop about being hacked etc…Its not funney! If this stuff keeps going on this will turn out to be dreamcast all over again!!

  • Got the update installed, but I’m getting an error when trying to play games online. My system isn’t hacked, but I’m getting an “Unable to connect to game servers” error when playing. What’s the deal?
