PlayStation 3 Firmware (v3.00) Update

Hi everyone, PlayStation 3 (PS3) firmware update (v3.00) adds a number of great new features that we’re excited to share with you. The latest update incorporates changes that improve navigation on your PS3. First, you’ll notice some cosmetic changes to the design of the XMB (Xross Media Bar). We’ve enhanced the look and feel of the XMB so that it’s easier and even more intuitive to use. We’ve also added network improvements and personalization options to help enhance your PS3 experience.

Additional highlights from update 3.00 include:

* “What’s New” – The “Information Board” will be replaced with a “What’s New” section, which allows you to enjoy interactive PlayStation news every time you start the PS3 system. Located under the PlayStation Network icon, “What’s New” displays the latest and greatest game, video, PlayStation Network and PlayStation news and releases, as well as your recently played games, in a sleek, new animated format.
* Status Indicator – In the top right corner we’ve added an indicator bar, which displays your user icon, friend icon, the number of friends you have online and a small message icon to let you know if you have any new messages. The indicator also includes a scrolling ticker that features the latest news from PlayStation Network. In addition, when you press the PS button, the battery life indicator will no longer cover up the clock.
* Friends List – Now your PlayStation Network friends will appear in a slightly redesigned format on your Friends List. Also, messages will now be viewable from each of your friends’ respective profiles.
* PlayStation Store Shortcuts – We’ve added a handy shortcut icon to the PlayStation Store under both the Game and Video categories so you can access the latest content quickly and easily.
* Personalization – Personalize your PS3 with new dynamic custom themes and avatars. Dynamic themes as well as free and premium avatars will be available through PlayStation Store. A dynamic theme takes your screen to a whole new level as it incorporates animated objects into the background.
* Trophies – Showcasing your hard earned trophies just got better. Update 3.00 gives game developers the ability to modify how they display trophies for add-on content. Base and add-on game trophies will continue to be combined into a single list so you can see where you stand in a game as a whole. Within that list, trophies will be broken out into subcategories—base trophies and add-on trophies—that way, you can easily view the percentage of your base game trophy collection, and separately track your trophy progress in add-on packs. Look for this enhancement to be included in upcoming games.

OMG!! I can’t believe how you guys (Sony) messed the so good looking XMB:

- Ugly friend list, completely ugly.
- Ugly status box, full of spam, with 2 clocks, and without an options for the ticker to go off.
- A starting PS3 logo, that doesn’t match with my PS3 Phat version.
- No more PS logo when opening a game.
- No trophy sorting/addons separation as metioned.
- Full of PS Store everywhere, in your face.
- Big fonts and Icons with no choice to adjust.
- Blur background which kills my eyes.
- No Avatars.
- Dynamic LBP not free – $3.00.

QUESTION: Does the marketing team kidnapped the UI designer guys ?? If so, i demand them to release them back !!!

- Where is Backward Compatibility ?
- Where is crossgame chat.
- Where is a better sorting for folders and games.
- Where is a more info/detail/sorting of friend’s trophies.
- Where is better game invites ?
- Where is the ability to create internet bookmarks directly to the XMB.

And i can keep going, WTF!!

This is miserable !!

Another Micro$oft is emerging.

A pissed and disappointed Sony fan.

I'm definitely skipping this update since i dont go online.

What a waste of time !!

Great stuff..

How'd you do that? Btw, how am i suppose to connect ATP3 to PS3?. I find it akward doing such settings?. And if you kind enough, how do i connect a USB modem and do sharing with my PS3 from PC?

I'm on Windows 7 at the moment..

How exactly ATP3 accepts AV Connection as there's only one Audio jack and one output?

Please help.

Bout the sharing ,windows 7 sharing network is bit dodgy. Any DIY sites?

Damn the 3.00 update is utter utter waste of time. No changes seen as promised , hope they come out with a fix for font issue..!

Any further details..??

Added on September 16, 2009, 5:36 pmDo not update ,

Ive found the comment below from one the user

"…And there was much sadness.

I was borked by the 3.00 firmware so I had high hopes.

I downloaded and installed the 3.01 firmware patch with no issues. Rebooted the PS3. I loaded Beatles Rockband and played for about ten minutes before it froze up again. After rebooting, I could not get the game to start.

Further testing reveals that:
1) DVD movies play back OK
2) PS2 games (on DVD) play fine.
3) Downloaded content seems to work OK
4) PS3 does not recognize bluRay discs as a valid format.

I tried to load both ps3 games on bluRay as well as two seperate bluRay videos I have. None of these discs is recognized by the PS3.

Total bummer."
