Looks good so far.
Can't wait to see this shit yo.
Don't get me wrong, I love my PS3, but
* “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.
A new ticker and status icon? Yay?
Does it actually fix the netcode, or just make it more bearable?
*clicks on PSN Store under video section"
"This service is not available in your country/region."
Sony loves to taunt me T_T
Everything else is neat though. That LBP theme is expensive though.
They better allow us to make our own Dynamic Themes.
I like it. I mean the stuff they display has got everything to do with the console you're playing on. Stuff like that should interest you in some way. At least it's not some sort of link to McDonalds or something.
Other than that and the fact that the blurring background makes me sick, it's a good update.
check your settings, it worked for me.
Free touch,
My list is as full as can be. I've got a back-up list too.
Actually no? It's weird but I don't have it. Can't find the settings either.
I watched the video, and downloaded it. It's pretty horrible considering the hype: it actually screws up functionality, tries to copy Xbox Live's "themes" more, and doesn't add anything we actually want, like cross game chat.
Actually no? It's weird but I don't have it. Can't find the settings either.
I want Warhawk. I'm considering getting either that, or Killzone 2 soon, JUST so I can play with you and Elsa. Seriously!
I won't be back to my PS3 until Friday T.T
Now they only have to drop Home 1.3 with the gamelaunching and things will be golden.
We didn't want cross game chat in the first place.
Also, why does my 1080i look like SD now? The text is so big.
There is only one remedy. Just keep trying. It's weird I know. Everybody online right now on my list were having the same problems as you guys. Maybe it's really busy right now. Not in Europe and Japan so that might be the case for not having trouble signing in with those.

The way it looks now has nothing to do with worse functionality. Different doesn't always have to be bad or worse. You're judging a book by it's cover. I also guess you haven't checked your trophies before the 3.0 firmware... Say whatever you want but it's really smooth. And miles apart from the last firmware.
Don't get me wrong: on Goozex, my favorite console listed is "PS3". My favorite console of all time, (with the stipulation of backwards compatibility) is the PS3. But as a daily user of both Xbox Live and PSN, I'm really disappointed with the little progress the PSN has made over the years compared to Xbox Live's revolutionary methods in the console market.
they made the xmb just a little bigger and a lot faster. compared trophies are really quick, music has a nice little scroll bar. you can go to network settings test and actually see the upload and download speeds, all in all, xmb has been retooled and optimized. much faster. flist is a little weird but i can what you're playing without going to you. its nice. not the holy grail but very nice. shake your controller like your momma gave ya. movies have a cooler slow down speed up feature with the right stick. disable info does not disable it for some reason. internet browser now has a save screenshot and print this screen option(!!) setting menu has descriptions now, hdd movie subtitle options for languages, music info now shows more. its a 3.0 to me. much has changed. opening music tuning has changed as well. i welcome it all.
and what Rembo said.
I plan on playing Demon's Souls all day tomorrow, and messing with the XMB :D. I can't wait! Maybe I can tweak it.
Don't listen to anyone who complains for the sole reason of complaining. There is really nothing to complain about that's why people whine about simple things like a new firmware update. People can bitch about the RRoD on the 360 but the PS3 doesn't have anything like it. That's why they talk about these things.
I'd say pick it up and enjoy your purchase. Because I know you will enjoy the shit out of it.
