3.0 Failed harder than a failboat carrying a load of failboxes. don't ask, its lat...err.. early, and I've not slept. but yeah, don't let the fanboys fool you. 3.0 failed pretty bad. HOWEVER, there are a few features I liked, like the browser screenshots. also, there aren't adds al over. theres a Playstation news ticker, and a "whats new" which is basically links to the stuff the ticker mentions. lets not go overboard with the fanboy fabrications from either side. and besides... it's still free ;)

Wow. Sony are so bad at updates. How can an update that adds basically nothing new cause so many problems?

I don't have to see it myself. When PS3 supporters THEMSELVES say that it fails, then more or less it probably does. You = Fail.

First off you don't own a PS3 so I don't know why you even care, oh that's right your a lemming looking for ownage...

anyways I haven't had any freezing problems since the patch, the icons are perfect now...no more sitting 3 feet from my tv to read the font, and well it was a good patch through and through.

Hey hey hey now! No need to get all defensive. Cool them jets! :) I'm glad you enjoyed the update, too bad the vast majority of other PS3 owners think other wise....

:lol: Since when did a vocal minority become a "vast majority of PS3 owners"?? Personally, I haven't noticed any issues with the update.

Now you're just reaching :lol: ... I guess you should have waited a bit longer to make a thread about this, maybe then you would have had some links to back your claims up.

Umm.. I didn't think I had to post any more links of problems that people are having since it's all over the PS3 forums. But here you are anyway.....

http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/09/01/ps3-slim-firmware-30-and-content-download-problem/

http://www.destructoid.com/firmware-3-0-screwing-up-uncharted-for-some-users-147218.phtml

Not to mention on the PS3 forums

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board?board.id=ps3updates&page=1

This is just page one of threads, and extends over 20 pages of threads of people complaining about other problems this update has. No I'm not "reaching" here, I think the evidence is quite clear that there are major problems with this update.

And just for the record this thread is at about 400 posts, and will probably reach 500 by tonight. I don't see how that is even relevant, but hey you asked.

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3updates&thread.id=100081

Ok. Can you explain something here. You don't own a PS3 right? So why do you care? And about your comment about being defensive earlier. You're the one being defensive for the 360 by being offensive to the PS3. You should stop right now. everyone can see right through your fanboyish ways. Just go and get laid, oh wait, you're probably too young to even get a hard-on. I'll probably get moderated for this but i've been pushed to my threshold with posters like this **** knobend.

Sheesh a lot of grouchy cows here. :) Why get so defensive? :) Why find the need to insult? :D Does that make you feel better? Does that make you feel "cool"? :lol: Or are you just truly upset about the fact that this update has caused major problems for your oh so beloved PS3 console? :roll:

I'd had no problems with it at all. Why are you trying so hard to put down PS3 users.

While I agree there is no need to insult other posters, these constant attempts at "ownage" on SW are pointless. First off, the links your provided are a vocal minority. People that feel the need to post are usually those who have had issues with the update, not those who have no problems (such as myself). Secondly, claiming the 3.0 update as "ownage" is terribly ironic and hypocritical. How many people have had an MS update brick their consoles? Was that ownage as well? Sorry, but I just think the entire point of this thread is pointless in all honesty.

No problems here. Most of the complaints seem to stem from people that are too busy whining about enlarged text and grey boxes around their friends list. Just keep in mind that there are 23 million PS3 owners. This certainly is not all of them. If there is a hang in regards to Uncharted freezing up, you know as well as I do that it will get patched.

I swear, gamers today are so spoiled. We have more options today than we ever have, yet people still nit pick over the most miniscule of details despite having it better than we ever have. Is it bricking systems? No, the vast majority of complaints are people that are whining over a few cosmetic changes. If I remember correctly, there were quite a few folks that absolutely hated the look of NXE last year as well...not to mention Avatars. Guess what? They got over it and do not even think about it anymore. Same will apply here.

i made a topic complaining about 3.0 yesterday night/this mourning and yes i have had probs with it. . Ps3 used to have something called the info bar with could be disabled and existed only in the xmb out of game. it streamed useful text information about games, competitions, news, ect in the top right corner " http://news.filefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/ps3-xmb.jpg " sony got rid of this bar and replaced it with a new psn status bar which dispays useful psn status about if you have any messages, how many friends are on ect. how ever the old info bar streaming was merged with this as seen in the top right corner " http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/08/NewFirmware.jpg " although better the psn status bars streaming also exists when opening the in game xmb slowing the loading down.

I laugh at the PSN fans who complained like a bird flew into their soup. First the EA rumor where Cows literally shutdown the EA forums, then the huge complaints about 3.0 and its friends list :| . I also dont get how PS3 fanboys believing if possible to pay Sony, the updates will be better. Far from the truth. Sony as added update after update without charging for the service, why would you want to pay, especially when it should be free to begin with? If you like to throw your money away, just send it to me via paypal.

it's a problem with all consoles, the NXE update red ringed a lot of older 360's when it first came out, it's only ever a small minority that suffer from bad updates, but out of the two i would say MS takes the cake for updates that brick your games machine, i usually wait a couple of weeks and watch what happens beore i update my 360 now, besides every console freezez every now and again, that's just the way it is, there is no such thing as a completely bug free game.

The XMB looks better, especially with the Africa Dynamic theme:P. I hope there will be more Dynamic themes on the way.

Right. Like the 360 doesnt have TONS of ads everywhere even though we PAY for their online service. Im fine with this update and ive experienced no problems whatsoever and ive played gh5 batman aa,bigs 2,prince of persia and even Ghostbusters and no problems. not saying people arent having issues but my question is...WHY ON EARTH DO YOU CARE? And why are you even allowed to post this rubbish.

Too much advertising now there are 3 ways to get into Playstation Store now. Also the "What's new" section is too slow and dumb. Scrolling text in the ticker needs to have an option to get turned off as it is once again telling you what you can already see in the Playstation store. The borders around friends are a bit much.

However, I like the option to finally output to multiple sources and the new animated background. I got the Africa one free from the Japanese store and its cool. :)
