PS3 FW 4.00 is alive

It just adds PSVita integration as the main thing, and in Australia, it adds 1 local video thing (Quickflix).

They arent hidden, it says that stuff when you update.

Ahh lame update, mostly about Vita.

I really wish they'd make cross game chat already. What is stopping them really? Make the freakin chat you can do on the XMB but make it so you can still use it during game time.

They already said it's not happening, the way the PS3 uses RAM doesn't allow it.

You'll have to copy & paste that, can't link it. Basically all the RAM goes towards the game when you are playing, and it can't handle cross-game chat.

Maybe it will finally fix my bluray movie freezing problem :( I'm not one for blaming firmwares on breaking stuff, but one of the latest updates completely screwed me out of my movie watching capability...

I would also like to add that there is no PS+ icon on the XMB now, contrary to the second comment. Oh well..I honestly feel like the XMB is getting really freaking cluttered now. It no longer feels simple and minimalist to me anymore, it just looks like a big mess. I wouldn't mind if Sony wanted to design some sort of new interface, but I know that's not going to happen...

Actually the PS+ icon is on the XMB, right next to the Playstation Store. I don't really see how this makes it anymore cluttered than it already is though...

Am I the only one who sees the irony of all this?

A major update which is pretty much for their next piece of hardware which is pretty much going to get the same crappy support.

What makes them think I'm going to buy a Vita when their attention to the ps3 & psp post launch has been nothing short of attrocious.

Oh God! ou know i was hopping that when sony was just releasing some tiny bug updates and slowing down the update rate, that we were close to a major release, then considering we were still at firmware 3.7 or 3.8 them skipping straight to 4.0 made it sound like a big update disapointing sony. Lets face it the xmb is nice but it is flawed, lack of organization, lack of cleanness and lack of Psn intergration, we need a new playstation 3 interface, pronto something that sticks out and makes me glad I dished out 50 dolars for psn plus

That would be the logical thought process but this is Sony. After seeing how badly they supported the PSP (after a while it got weekly updates that were only designed to fend off hackers), I was worried about the PS3 (especially after the loss of OtherOS and the PSN hack), and now I've pretty much given up on the Playstation brand.

The ps2 was one of the greatest consoles of all time but it really seems like Sony is deliberately trying to drive away the fanbase they built with it.

Hell, if the PS3's main competiton wasn't bricking at a rate of 50%, I really think the ps3 would've been this generation's Dreamcast: a really great machine killed by terrible support and bad timing.

Absolutely lame, where is cross party chat, was expecting a decent update.

wow the health warning is just stupid. What the hell is wrong with sony?

Gah, the Playstation Plus symbol is obtrusive.

Don't forget the Brazillian Portuguese language support , props for guerila games and naughty dog for adding it to their games too , even though I don't use it lol , I think it'd sound dumb. :lol:

Have there been any issues reported with the new update?.

Also I was reading of the health warning thing popping up when you start the system so is there a way to disable that or are we stuck with it?.

No, it's not too late for them to add new features but I don't see any reason they would do so if they haven't already.

And saying that they offer a better experience than a machine that 50% likely to break AND charges a monthly fee really isn't saying much. Some would gladly deal with defects and a fee to get some decent support. At least they add some interesting features to the 360 now and then. The last big change they made to the ps3 was they TOOK AWAY the other OS option.

In other words, the ps3 support has been so horrible so far, I've long given up on the idea that they might improve it...or even just fix the broken features like the web browser.

Are the stuff that I was reading on the Playstation site true that there are alot of people having issues with the new update or are those just there to get other players worried about updating the system?.
