So since update 3.01 people started talking about it being bad, doing more harm then good. Others think that it solved everything. What do you think? If you say it did more harm then good, please say why.I think it is bad, as after downloading the update my ps3 started freezing sometimes when playing downloaded games and it sometimes randomly disconnects from the interne,' requiring a reboot, never did that before the update.

Well I was playing uncharteda lotafter 3.00 came out and it froze continuosly. I would reset my ps3 and try again and it would freeze over and over. After the update uncharted was fine, i completed on crushing and got my plat. So,a great update from sony even though they messed it up with 3.00.

Obviously alot of people are having problems with Uncharted, but for myself it has been great. Although the box that apears above friends is a bit ugly.

It exchanged one set of problems for a new set of problems

The thing is that the old problems were also destroying Uncharted and Sony has high hopes for it's sequel so it was more important to rush out the 3.01 patch and have people play uncharted even if it means screwing with people's consoles.

Things I like about it: ?

Things I hate about it:

I don't like what they did to the friends list. It looks terrible. Like it doesn't belong.
I don't like "What's new" and I really hate having that "PSN Store" icon in my Games row on the XMB. Pointless clutter that I wish I could get rid of. And annoying too: I used to just click on my game and get started, now I have to press down to select my game. A minor inconvenience? Yes. But an unnecessary incovenience none the less.

BTW, is there any way to edit your XMB to get rid of the things you don't need? I don't need PSN Store in 2 different columns.

that 3.00, we're talking about 3.01(well, they are since I haven't got it yet..)

P.S. PSstore has three places now, internet, game, and video.

I will try my best to sum it up. For those of you keeping score, "+" besides a point are what I consider good things. "-" are what I consider bad things. "=" means it's equilaent/the same/a wash from before. + Support for multiple simultaneous audio outputs. For the A/V-philes out there, this is an even bigger "about **** time" for the PS3 than almost anything else. Microsoft has supported this for a long time without much (if any) user intervention or selection. So why did it take Sony this long to add in this feature? - What's New? Section ... great, as if I didn't already have a bunch of unnecessary **** that I didn't care for with the original PS3 XMB. Sony, you need to realize... No, I do not use the Photo Gallery. No, I never used the Information Board when it was just that. No, I do not use F@H. No, I do not use PS Home. No, I did not need you shoving me into your ad section every time I boot up the console. - Still cannot get rid of the icons for the aformentioned XMB add-ons that I never use or care to use. At the least, let me hide these not-installed app icons somehow... is that so terribly much to ask? + I don't know if it's just me, but at least it seems that the start-up time from power-on to seeing the XMB has reduced a fair bit since the prior editions. + As I understand it, many of the changes leading up to 3.0 were to reduce the OS's (and its components') memory footprint while running... which is always good no matter how you look at it. = No mention of whether this would fix remaining issues regarding PS1/2 BC, but then again, Sony seems to have just given the finger to everyone wanting or WRT BC long ago. - Sony, would it really be too much to ask for some real release notes or a changelog for what exactly is changed with each revision? And I mean more than just a highlight of features added in and stuff... I'd like to know more about what went/goes on under-the-hood... what bugs were fixed, what game/media/software-related issues were resolved... KNOWN issues list, please? = as far as I'm aware of though, there still doesn't seem to be any counter/fail-safe measures in the event that some corrupt file can then *brick* a ps3. Take for example what happened with 2.40; Why not implement stuff like that, like an attempt to repair a config/theme file? Or if that fails, disable the given theme or access to it and then revert to a "safe mode" of sorts so that the user can then try to fix it themselves or simply delete the offending file(s)? Even Microsoft has something like that with Windows. :| - I'm still disappointed that the backup feature on the ps3 doesn't let me choose WHAT I want to back up. The fact that it tries to back up everything, including stuff I may deem not that important, and then complains when nothing I have that it will read is big enough to store it. I'm willing to wager if it would just let me back up the essentials and what I feel is important enough to keep, the backup file sizes would be much, much smaller. Or at the least, enable/allow some compression on these files... I would be willing to live with it taking longer to backup and/or restore if I can at least fit it on what I need to easier.

Dude... it lets you choose the classic ps3 theme. it doesn't have to be the sparkly one, which, incidentally, is better.

Where by chance can you choose the classic PS3 theme?

Under "Themes", under "Theme Settings", under "Settings"

Oops, looks like I missed that part of it in the firmware. :oops: Then again, I've been running other themes on the ps3 almost immediately after I got the thing. :) So I guess I was curious about the whole "sparkly" theme and how it compared to the classic theme.

Well since I don't have Uncharted but my system "required" the update and now all my other games and my downloads are freezing, I'm going to go with the vote for "this new update is a steaming bag of sh*t"

i know , but that doesn't

-bring back the old ps3 logo at boot and game startup

-reduce the icon size

-remove the dissapearing menu text

-fix problems with games i'm playing

-remove useless store links

those are the main reasons i hate the update and keep being offline

I havent updated to 3.01 yet. I don't want my PS3 to break due to it (I've read it may prevent your PS3 from reading Blurays including games). I'll wait to see more replies in this topic to see what the majority of users who have updated think.

Didn't really change anything. Just the look of the theme and some other stuff. It's decent.
