The update will include many of the things people have been asking for, such as the ability to download from the PSstore while doing other things and new visualizations for the music player. The full details are still under wraps though.

Also  no over heating, the system naturally gets hot but if you keep it in a nice ventalited area it's fine.

A lot of March update features are being kept secret. Right now Phil Harrison has only officially announced background downloading, and changeable wallpaper/background for the XMB is a speculation. Apparently there are some other large features, as Phil Harrison said (insert crazy Japanese Sony high level executive name here) would kill him if he said too much.

....if you put it on carpet, if it's in a well-ventilated area, it'll be fine. :)

I say if you liked Xbox, get a 360. If you liked PS2, get PS3.

ps3 is an extremely well built system. System failure is that last thing you need to worry about. Hardly any complaints. Games are starting next week on a regular basis, and the big psn update coming in march. PS3 fixing to take off!

I've had mine in a somewhat enclosed area. Its on a shelf of an entertainment center but it has 6 inches in the back and 10 inches on the right. As long as each of these have at least 4 inches and one side of it is open you'll have no problems. You dont have to worry about the side with the HDD because its not pushing any air out that way.

Its been rumered that a upscaling chip will activate in the ps3, and finally let hdtv owners that want 1080i and the 1080p that was promised with all games actually have it. Also its been rumored that you can change the wallpaper in the ps3 xmb like you can on the psp.  Everything now is all speculation. All i hope is that this march update is actually well worth the time waiting for it.

God that would be amazing. Too bad there's no way to confirm or deny such claims.

Right, dude. Don't do anything stupid like that. Stick it on an open shelf. Clean it regularly. Use a sock or a t-shirt so you don't scratch it and get an electronics vacuum to suck out the dust that builds up on the vents. Don't use compressed air as that just pushes the dust in.

I live in the uk and have a *** ps3 at the moment I can`t buy from the ps store network because there is no option for a uk address I think the march update will bring euro in line with the rest of the world.

Yo, I completely agree. My 360 just scratched a perfectly good copy of Oblivion. Now the game doesn't play anymore. I guess I'll have to trade it in and get the PS3 version instead now...

I just hope this new update won't screw up our PS3 once it finishes, because I've heard in the past before that updates sometimes messes up your console.
