PlayStation 3 Firmware (v3.10) Update Preview
Posted by Eric Lempel // Director, PlayStation Network Operations
Hi everyone, here’s an early peek at PlayStation 3 (PS3) firmware update (v3.10). The latest update incorporates Facebook into the PS3 experience. By linking your PlayStation Network account to your Facebook account, you will have the option for the PS3 to automatically update your Facebook News Feed with Trophy and PlayStation Store activity. This update also enables developers to set specific criteria in their titles to publish additional game information to your News Feed. You can then check out your updates, and those of your friends, on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media favorites through the PS3’s built-in web browser.
This is just the beginning of our integration with Facebook and we are looking forward to adding new features enhancing the experience in future updates.
Additional highlights from update 3.10 include:
[LIST]
[*]The Photo category on the XMB has been revamped to make it easier to see more of your photos stored on the PS3.
[*]The PSN Friends List has been modified based on feedback we received after update 3.00. Additionally, you can now choose a color for your PSN ID on the XMB.
[/LIST]
To get a preview of what’s coming in update 3.10, check out the video below:

We’re looking forward to releasing firmware update 3.10 soon. As always, we appreciate your feedback.

Besides the fix for the GREY boxes (where it only shows a square around them now), it's a useless update. Just hold it off for XGC and release it all as one.

Same, it also annoys me when people practically live on such sites, or people who post the must stupid stuff/photos just for attention.

Another pointless update, whats the obssesion with Facebook and Twitter? Everything and everyones adding it to there software as standard, it's gettign as bad as iPod docks....... you can't buy new HI-FI or surround sound now that DOESN't have a iPod dock, it's bloody disgusting.
Back on topic: Yes Firefox or Opera on the PS3 would be great, it'll be way faster that the on already on there.

Has your PS3 ever frozen randomly? Sony wants to know about it. Thanks to firmware 3.10, Sony now allows users to send an error report after an improper shutdown. Freezing is an annoying issue and there is no way for everyone to be able to report such errors in an easy way. While it’s unknown what exactly is being sent to Sony, expect information about your software and hardware to be sent. According to a disclaimer before sending in the report, this includes PSN account information, the content saved on your PS3, and your email address. This information will be sent if it was being used during the time of the problem.
Should we be alarmed? Doubtful.
Hopefully this will make certain freezes a thing of the past, especially for the PS3 web browser. In fact, that’s how we were able to get these pics without fail. After opening up YouTube XL on the browser, a freeze came within the next 10 minutes. Such a dependable freezing technique hopefully showcases the problems that exist so that Sony can fix the bugs ASAP.
When you start up your PS3 after a freeze expect to see this message:
Yes, I want to spam SCE!
What do you guys think? This is probably one of the more practical features of firmware 3.10. We’d rather spam Sony with error reports than spam facebook friends with trophy notifications…but that’s just us. Don’t forget to check out our
firmware 3.10 impressions.

Last night I downloaded the update and was playing around with the improved browser when it froze on a site with a lot of flash. So I manually restart my PS3. To my surprise a message comes up stating that the PS3 has crashed and asks me whether I would like to report the error. The messages also states that the specs, firmware, contents of my PS, user name and email address maybe be included in the crash report. So I except and it uploads the crash report and thanks me :smileyhappy:
So this is the first time I have see this feature. It’s nothing special but it looks like Sony is actually gathering crash data to fix issues, like what MS does when Windows crashes.
Sorry if this isn’t new, just wanted to ask.
what else id hidden in 3.10

Is it just me or is this a buggy firmware? Everytime I power on the ps3 I get please wait.... for a few seconds, like it's waiting to boot up, everything I access such as pics or games I have in folders I have to wait about a minute for it to load everything in the folder. Pluss when I go to power off the system you get the are you sure message, there is no yes or no for about a minute, when it pops up, select yes it flashes yellow then shuts down. It is fine again when I power the system back on again.
