Latest PlayStation 3 Firmware Update Thread *V2*


Recommended Posts

Downloaded and installed really fast. Where is the Facebook app?

i just got the 3.40 update this morning and i would like to know where this facebook app is also

It's not on the PS3 itself, it's an app they have launched on the Facebook website

http://apps.facebook.com/playstation.

Just downloaded, they fixed the leap year bug :rofl:

PlayStation Plus Compatibility

The PlayStation Plus premium service gives paying members free game downloads, access to special avatars and themes, and other bonuses. See this story for details. The 3.4 update makes your PS3 compatible with PS Plus. To actually become a PS Plus member, you'll need to purchase membership from the PlayStation Store. Members will see the PlayStation Plus icon, a yellow plus symbol, next to their avatar.

Photo Gallery Update

Your PS3 photo gallery will now have a "PlayStation Network Area." Use this to access your online Picassa and Facebook photo albums. You can also upload pictures directly to these services, create and edit albums, post comments on pictures, and share newly created albums with your PlayStation Network friends. To delete comments, you'll have to access the web versions of Facebook and Picassa directly.

Video Edit and Upload

The video section of your XMB will now have access to an option for editing and uploading videos from your hard disc to Facebook and Youtube. Edit functionality lets you ad subtitles and cut out scenes. The functionality will only work for videos that were saved to your PS3 following the 3.4 update. Expectedly, it will not work on copy protected videos.

Settings

The settings section of your XMB will now include options for "Deep Color Output (HDMI)" and, for PS Plus members, auto download. The base time for automatic power off will be changed to 2 hours.

Photo

The photo section of the XMB will now let you print and delete pictures.

Friend

When selecting a friend, the friend's trophy level will be displayed.

PS Store Ratings

You'll be able to rate product on the PlayStation Store with a five star rating system.

Time bug fix

The update fixes a leap year bug with the PS3's clock.

Also video uploading test

Uploaded a PS3 edited video on YouTube.

You can:

- Add text (see video for more)

- Cut A-B style (no paste, just cut)

- Add music (from a selected collection of tracks. Not your own)

- Change playback speed of A-B sections.

- Save to HDD or publish on youtube or facebook.

Videos downloaded from the Store do not work

Videos recorded from game (PJ Shooter) do not work

Videos exported from EyeCreate do not work (wtf?)

I did this with a mp4 file.

So much for fixing the leap year bug in March ;)

At least it's done now.

Not sure they ever said they 'fixed' it just that the problem would be 'resolved' the following day. As you say though, least it's done and dusted now!

Nah they did, I remember having a good chuckle at it here on NW :p

"We are aware that the internal clock functionality in the PS3 units other than the slim model, recognized the year 2010 as a leap year. Having the internal clock date change from February 29th to March 1st (both GMT), we have verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able to use their PS3 normally. If the time displayed on the XMB is still incorrect, users are able to adjust time settings manually or via the internet."

They resolved it so that everyone's PS3 would work again in the meantime, however the internal fix was on a timebomb till the next leap year, so it's not like it was urgent :p

That's my point, they didn't resolve anything. They just said "we're working on it" while they waited for the clock to run out. The only thing that "fixed it" was the clock/calendar turning 12am/2nd March :laugh:

Then they were like "yeah, we fixed it, pat us on the back" :rofl:

Anyway water under the bridge n all that jazz.

Will it work next leap year?

LOL...I was just kidding. But, yes....I do need to upgrade to a PS3 Slim at some point here. Well, I don't NEED to, but I WANT to :)

well that was just like me and the 360S. But PS3 wise.. it's been running really well so far. I don't really see a point of upgrading.. sure it has a different size to it.. but it's still the same. The PS3S has no more gloss on it.. so owning both consoles won't really match up. Mine now matches up now :D

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
