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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfRxkp1GuHc

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

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
