There are many rumours going around that 4.00 is out in November with better menus, voice chat (X Game) and a larger Friends List

Is it true!?

they would have to go through like a hundred more updates in two months to get to 4.00, but 3.01 might be on the way soon.

4.0 would have to be a MASSIVE overhaul to come out so soon. 3.01 was just a very very small update so I think it would go to 3.10 it they do update it.

It still shocks me how much people don't understand the concept of FW. FW updates don't always follow the pattern of 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc.. Sony could jump to 4.00 or even 5.00 if they wanted to. The numbers are based on how much information aka (stuff) they are putting into the update therefore they could go from 3.00 to 3.25 if they wanted to, it just depends on what they put in. So yes the next one could be 3.1 or it could be 3.15 or even 3.2 or 3.08.

I hope 4.0 will include much more than that. For example, they should have an option to take out those gray boxes around your friends list.

Just so people know. Just because they have done 3, and a few more, doesnt mean they have to go through EVERY number between that and 4. That's just stupid.

True. As G-Legend stated earlier the number describes the progress from the previous firmware to the new one. Like how from 3.00 to 3.01 can denote a small change while 3.00 to 3.45 can denote to a bigger change.

didn't sony say 3.00 was the last major update for the year? i think it contained alot of elements in it that prepared us for the minor ones coming up i.e possibility of cross over chat, that way they dont need rely on each major update to come through without problems

No thats not true. The psp if I remeber correctly, never actually went in a proper sequence, it just kind of jumped numbers. Like 2.71>3.03 or w/e. And btw, 3.01 is already out :).

I would honestly rather they just make the XMB faster in game and remove those grey boxes around friends! Otherwise, all the other stuff can come when they come...

hell yea!

i remember seeing somewhere that these grey boxes would display your friends trophies instead of having to actually click on their name you can quickly scroll through your list and see who has what trophies and how many etc etc.

They better do that, it should just go down when u scroll on ur friends rather than clicking on it. Sony better do this.
