**TDbank24** · 10-24-2012

Just got it.

Mine is stuck and wont download past 99%. I've tried 3 times now. Reboot and try again I guess.

I have a singstar icon in my XMB game section that can't be deleted for fuck sakes...

Once again SONY is fumbled by their own doing / undoing.

**Alpha2** · 10-24-2012

Update went fine for me. 5 minutes and back up and running.

I just want to understand what was the point of moving my trophy collection under the PSN tab? I personally liked where it was from the jump. Sony being Sony.

And I thought the PS Store was supposed to be updated the 23rd? It's still normal for me and its 3am on the 24th! Liars!

It's been delayed for the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil until further notice. They let us know via their official blog on the 19th, actually.

That sucks. The whole XMB idea is based on it being simple and clean. Adding useless icons here and there defeats the purpose.

They should be removing icons, not adding. Or at least make them optional.

Well would you look at that! The more you know!

Why would they put trophies under the PSN section? o_O

I thought that was pretty weird too but it seems it's "free to play" now

SingStar will be a free download but won't come with any songs - those you buy at the SingStore (prices won't change). Any songs you've already bought will be imported and added to your free-to-play SingStar song selection.

You can play your old PS2 and PS3 SingStar discs through the game - those catalogues of songs aren't lost to you.

Support for PlayStation Eye as a microphone has been added, so you won't need a traditional microphone peripheral to play.

Kind of lame it can't be deleted

Downloading now, hoping for some improvements on their software PS2 emulator.

I never whinge about the updates, but that annoying Singstar Icon seriously needs to be removable!!

I foresee update 4.31 coming soon so we can get rid of it!!

**MjW** · 10-24-2012

It even focuses on singstar when you turn on the ps3. That adds to the annoyance even more.

Bb--bu-but, I LIKE Life with Playsation, WTF!! I like exploring the world and reading news from that city or country. If that could be a smart phone app, it would be my favourite one...now, I have to do google searches manually. GHEY!

**djpenny** · 10-24-2012

lol glad i live in canada i don't have all the useless icons on my XMB

btw folding still working lol

**Alpha2** · 10-24-2012

Folding @ home is supposed to be ending anyway (at least support for the PS3 version of it) so they probably removed the app since it'll be outdated eventually. The trophy move is probably because they wanted to clean up the game tab and since you can now view the list as it appears on the Sony servers or the local version on your machine (this speeds up the list's load times since before it always had to either sync with the server or download the icons before showing your your list.) which basically makes it a network feature now.

Although I dont have the Singstar icon I would assume that like the Amazon, netflix, and Hulu apps that I don't and will never use it's meant to be a useful option for those that actually enjoy using them. Dont complain about the extra icons unless it's actually causing you a real problem it just drowns out complaints about REAL issues that actually effect the use and function of the system. You got used to it when they moved the account management out of the friends list tab and you WILL get used to This change too.

Lol. I've used it once or twice. Didn't really think much about it.
