    To be honest i think they was going to do the update Sat night because i couldn't login around 12:30 am.My friend that live on the west coast did the samething @ the same time but its was back on like 10mins later.Just a guess but this hasn't happen before & most firmware updates come late at night.

    I like this one:

    Well it's good to know that the console will finally support the titles that are written for it... o_O

    Or is it a typo? :D

    So that means that we can listen to music while we play? That would be so sweet! Like the Xbox 360. I hope it comes out soon!

    i guess its a fake? if sony doesnt see that alot of us are crazy for the things like the themes, xmb, and selfmade avatars, then they can shove themselves if its not dont soon.

    CRAP...!
    what an update!, PS3 does most of it already! except:

    [RSS Channel Settings] has been added as an option

    Files can now be played sequentially (what files?..videos? because music does it already)

    the rest of the mention update is only useless crap

    what they (Playstation) have to do is Update the compability with the browser plugins for video streaming media, Quote:compability with all Bluetooth and USB SONY's products including cell phones and release software for the PS3 whereas for Productivity or for Media playing.

    So far Playstation 3 have not deliver what they promised that the PS3 is capable to do.

    TerraSoft Solutions as partner of Sony PlayStation ... YEAH! the same company creator of YDL (Yellow Dog Linux) the operating system of PS3, well, promotes for free optional software for the PS3. CLICK.. or , copy this link and paste it into your browser:

    so, why is that Sony Playstation do not update the PS3 with these kind of software !

  • Edgewise

    gmontalc,
    that would be redundent if the ps3 did most of these things already. That's why they are part of a "UPDATE".

    I hope they release this update soon, btw.
