I like the idea of grief reporting. I've used it a few times on Live and actually seen results, which was nice.
I might give this one a few days, though, just to make sure they didn't accidentally break anything...

I'd like to know what they do with the player reviews. PSN doesn't have any moderation or console/account banning so far. Are they just going to send people a nasty letter?
Wow, gee, thanks! That's an awesome update I've always wanted... not. Who gives a damn about any of this shit? It's yet another reason I _can't_ just turn my PS3 on and play in only _two weeks_!!! Just how often is Sony going to dish this crap out? This is a 6th update in 9 months! And I bet - not the last this year... They really should learn how to aggregate all updates into one, maximum two updates per year.
@amtalx: PSN does have account bans. Wouldn't it suck to lose trophies and any money in your account because you harassed too many people? Plus, if your account is banned, you wont be able to redownload any of your games or DLC. It's free to create a new account, but having one banned could be pretty bad.
@ hanowyoucantseeme:
trophy updates/store purchases were part of the first FB update. They might have added more integration like possibly the ability to take in game screens and post them on FB. There was also a 3rd feature in the that was never implemented by any dev to date where games could auto update when you did certain things in game (not trophy related) like if you beat a game on the hardest difficulty it could possibly make a post saying you did so.
@ amtalx:
I know a couple people who've been 2 week banned from PSN for sending hatemail after losing at street fighter 4. I also know of people getting suspensions for being abusive over voice chat in Killzone 2.

Oh, nice. News to me. However, any griefer with half a brain won't use an account with all their goodies on it. It's a step in the right direction though.

I picked up 3.50 last night when the store updated.

30 minutes ago i downloaded this update, and now i cant log in whit my account, it says that "my password or mail are wrong", but i know they're fine cause i played MW2 yesterday midnight before the update. In the official Sony's page it says that i will have problems until 5 pm pacific time. Anyone has the same problem??
@farlander I can't beieve people complain about a 15 minute download haha especially if it makes the experience better.
Downloaded it late last night, took like 10-12 minutes. Love the update and it works fine; I especially love the grief report system (and that it's accessible only from the message folder).
I don't mind useless updates when they're 30 seconds long.
I do mind useless updates when they're +10 minutes long.

yeah i updated that today like 5 mins ago!! and now i cant play online games!! WTF has happened??? how do i sort it?? not impressed!
Damn. My PC is down for the count, and this will likely lock up my PS3 for an hour. Guess I'm down to DVDs - either that or *shudder* find something non-electronic to do...
Thanks for the heads-up.

read up on it guys, this is like watching a bunch of people walk right into a hurricane because they never bother to check the weather.
use the google, read, learn about what you're updating and for what purpose.

To those who want faster psn downloads. If your ps3 gives you a message stating that you need to update decline it and do this first:
Connect your ps3 to your computer with a cat5 patch cable, use wifi on your computer to connect to the internet, go into network connections and "bridge" the wifi and lan, you now share the internet from your wifi to your lan. This allowed me to download everything way faster. A good way to test if you are getting results is to go to speedtest.net and run a test before and after doing this.

@farlander: OMG, 6 updates in 9 months wth more on the way.
Fucking SONY.
You're telling me that every month and a half, you need to spend 15-20 minutes doing anything else while you wait for the system to update.
That's outrageous, I feel your pain man.

Already? I just updated it last month. They should really go only 3 or 4 times a year max. Its too much.
um. I think PSN is broken... all my accounts (american, british, japanese) say the e-mail/password are incorrect immediately after installing 3.5!!??
I think there have literally been three updates since I last turned on my PS3. Can they just leave the damn thing alone?
Whatever happened to getting Netflix disc-free? That was supposed to happen in September, if I recall. The month is slowly ticking away..
@TalibanBusCrash:
When that happened to mine it was my failing hard drive. Power it down, pull out the hard drive, and turn it on. Any difference? I ended up losing my data, but installed a 250GB drive.
Fact: The only time updates are a hassle is if you haven't played or re-installed a game in a long time and you have to sit through 30 minutes or more of updates. It's easy to lose interest in playing the game in that amount of time.

If waiting for an update makes you rage and you can't think of anything better to do for five minutes, get a life.
Some of you have absolutely no shame.

For those of you wondering why you cannot log into PSN after downloading the 3.50 update.
