Sony Releasing PS3 Update 3.10 Today(more details on new FW)

[I_Luv_2_Game]

Sony will be releasing their 3.10 update today, barely a week after word of its existence first leaked on the Internet. They've apparently been planning this for some time now, but network operation director Eric Lempel wouldn't say how long. "I'll just say that it's been in the works for quite some time," he said in an interview with 1UP. "It's never been easy to just integrate new content into the PlayStation Network. We've had this planned for a while now." Facebook integration is the update's centerpiece, enabling the PS3 to share Trophy updates and other information with the service's news feed. Of particular interest is the game-specific event updates, which Lempel says is the result of developers asking how they can start "feeding out information" about their games. It shouldn't be long before the event updates start becoming available in PS3 games. The tools have already been sent out to Sony's first-party developers.http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176969
Hi Guys, just wanted to give you some more detail on the main features of firmware 3.10 for your PS3. Hopefully you will have seen the American video previously posted that demos some of these features. If not check it out here (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/11/17/playstation-3-firmware-v3-10-update-preview/).
As shown in the video and the screenshots below, the Photo view on the XMB has been improved. Your photos are now shown in a grid format rather than in one line to make it easier for you to skip straight to the photo you want or browse an album quickly.

We’ve added some links to the worlds most popular social network site, Facebook.
If you want to show your friends what trophies you’ve earned or brag about your gaming prowess, simply go to account management, under PSN, and turn this option on to share your triumphs with your friends
You can also share information about your PSN Store purchases if you want. Turn this on the same way and you will be asked each time you purchase from the store if you want to share it on Facebook or not. Let all your friends know what you’re playing and get them to join you online.

Television lovers in other parts of Europe can now enjoy faster access to catch-up on TV with the addition of the following on-demand TV sites to the XMB over the next few days–

No need to watch catch-up TV on your PC anymore, enjoy it in the comfort of your living room and on your big screen.
We are working on adding more of these as soon as we can
You will also see in the screenshot below, and the previous video post, that the next stage of the Friends list update is complete and, as you can see, only the profile that’s selected has the coloured box.

This brings us to the final part of the main updated features which is that you can now customize your PSN profile with your favourite colour. Just open up your profile and click X on the upper left tab to get the colour pallet and to choose your colour.

This is the colour that your profile will appear as on all your friends PS3’s.

Can't wait, but why bother with this Facebook idea? Why not just wait until you have the browser sorted, then release it?

Looks like they're both adding Facebook and fixing the browser in this update.

[Kyaw]

I would be a happy boy if they add Video store with this update for EU!

You must of read it wrong, all it does it update your News Feed, like Uncharted 2 with Twitter, doesn't mean it actually works on PS3.

Lol, as if someone would want that :lol:

[Fergus2k8]

Yay for pink gamercard!

joke

No if you watch the video he goes to facebook on the PS3 browser and it actually works (all the menus aren't muddled up like they are now). Sony always put in features but don't list them on the blog. There'll probably be more hidden features that people will find in 3.10.

[keefy]

BAHH Just as my tinternet goes FUBAR as well, no way I can DL this just now :(
I curse BT for my crappy internet.

[Kyaw]

Oh ok, I thought he was doing that on Computer, obviously wasn't paying much attention! Hopefully its a new updated browser, thats more functional.

[MedicDog]

I'm just Vidzoning until the firmware is up to download, bit sick of MW2 at the moment.

[Kyaw]

I will just be on here until you guys post that the update is up.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Normally the update goes live at 10am GMT. So maybe its been delayed?

[MjW]

Not bad at all. Can't wait.



They updated the browser so Facebook can actually work. I hope the browser will see an improvement all around.
Transparency and colours in friends list.
New photo browsing mode.

Its meant to be Thurday, as stated by Poland, so Europe will have it midnight or something.

That's what I was thinking too. They say today, that usually means today... in the US :/

[ToXiCNiGhTMaRe]

I dont understand the whole point of using twitter/facebook to show off the trophies you have unlocked to the world out side of the PSN users.. Seems like a useless feature for me atleast but the ability to change the color of your PSN ID is a lil cool i guess

[TheStory]

I agree. Who really cares to see what trophies you're earning... no one outside of your psn friends list that's who. More interested in the change to the friends list because it is ***-face ugly right now.

[PSP96]

Counting down the minutes/hours/days till 3.10 :DD

[Monkeycat15]
