Wow i just read that on Gamespot and i was amazed! that update is a really great one.. large amount of new avatars, new dynamic theme setting, new playstation store easy navigation style, new What's New Tab added to the XMB, new message notification box (AWESOME), new background sparkling effects beside the normal one and now sony will be selling special avatars from the playstation store. (If i forgot something plz add :) ) The update is set to launch "Shortly, very, very shortly" according to John Koller (SCEA director of hardware marketing). So ye plz tell me what u think.. Thanks :)

It's great, but nothing we really needed. I hate having the PS Store logo in the "Games" section though, just doesn't seem right.

The avatars will be welcome for sure, thats one thing i wanted. Now i just would like a software emulation update for PS2 games and cross game chat and i would be very happy.

Any update is a plus including this one. I just wait and enjoy what is released in the updates when they come. I remember back in the begining for a while there was a update just about every tuesday.

I Think Its The Best One Since Trophy Support, It Adds Things I Have Been Wanting Like More Avatars, Cause I Have Been Gettin Tired Of My Alex Mercer ([PROTOTYPE]) Avatar, And Updating The XMB To Look At Least A Little Different, Its Almost Like The PS3 Version Of The NXE That Hit 360's Last Year, And I Think It Comes Out On September 1st

I'm just saying the update wasn't that great and as amazing as some former updates. I don't think we need anything else right now, excerpt for a PS3 slim.....anyone got news on it yet?

The features they haven't announced are probably just minor updates to fix certain games and add some new settings, thats all...

The right hand stuff is good, and the "what's new" is for casual gamers imo it's a smart move because now that PS3 is $299 a lot of casual gamers will pick it up so it's definately gonna help them understood what's in gaming and the backgrounds are cool for everyone it adds a new style and look to PSN on top of that they fixed the clock issue and stuff so that's always a plus!

I think it's kind of different. I think Sony wants to keep everything on PSN Sony brand only. Besides, giving people the opportunity to upload their own pictures will lead to people posting things they shouldn't. I'm not saying you would but there are people like that out there and I'm sure Sony doesn't have the time to have to deal with something like that.

ya i think it must have to do with offending other users because you can upload any pic you want for your console profile avatar just not your psn avatar

I think cross game chat was supposed to come in this update but they had problems with it (read N4G forum posts by Super_Secret).

The backgrounds is the things that interest me most because I do love sparkles.
