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

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
