If an update is cancelled before completion, the system software may become damaged, and the system may require servicing or exchange. Do not turn off the PS3 system during an update.

It’s got to be 3.21 (released on April 2nd, 2010) which removed the ability to use Linux on your PS3, creating all kinds of excitement, discussion and – yes – law suits, some of which are still ongoing… There’s also been a few that do little except ‘improve the playback quality’ of your games, including 2.42 (July 30th, 2008) and 2.36 (June 18th, 2008), but on the whole, despite the seemingly constant flow of updates, Sony have, on the whole, made the most of the PS3’s ability to continuously evolve.- This system software update improves system performance Seriously, there was very little else about 3.30 that excited the gaming community just yet apart from some subtle Trophy list updates and some initial preparation for 3D games, but the addition of the Direct and Mixed Bitstream channels brought crystal clear DTS surround sound through the PS3’s optical cable and into pretty much any amp capable of pushing out sound. The one that sent a DTS surround sound signal through my humble Dolby Digitial setup. Check out ‘Deep Colour’ under the display settings too if you’re HDMI equipped. 3.40 also brought user ratings to the PlayStation Store and Picasa and Facebook image gallery browsing, useful if you’re of a social nature.
#PS3 SONY FIRMWARE UPDATE PLUS#
PlayStation Plus means different things to different people, but to most the relatively inexpensive annual fee brings lots of exciting new features including discounts on PS3 and PSP games each month, lots of free demos and time-based exclusives and the cool ability to download patches and updates in the background without interrupting your gaming. 1.80 also allowed you to Remote Play over the web and do much more with your photographs.

Upscaling’s improved since, but 1.80 meant DVDs could output at 1080p and, perhaps more importantly for anyone with a 1080i TV set, Blu-rays could be downscaled to 720p using the PS3. TheSixthAxis wasn’t live then, but had the site been running we’d have jumped all over the update’s upscaling abilities, bringing regular old DVDs bang up to date with some wildly impressive graphical techniques. Version 1.80 was the first update I actually had chance to look forward to. Perhaps not the most dynamic update, but it’s there for nostalgic reasons at least. 1.60 also introduced, QWERTY keyboard options for entering text and support for Remote Play and keyboard and mouse controls.
#PS3 SONY FIRMWARE UPDATE PS2#
Basically, its primary goal was to enable backwards compatibility on those first capable consoles, enabling your PS3 to play PS2 games (and PS1, of course). The one that came with European PS3s, at least some of them, was the first firmware update most readers of this site will really remember. The update of kings, then, and definitely the best one we’ve ever had. 2.40 also brought Blu-ray upscaling, in-game music and the ability to access the XMB whilst still playing a game. Trophies changed the face of PlayStation 3 gaming forever, and we were there at the start cataloging every game that featured the new system. Has it really been over two years since the PS3 got Trophies? Sure, it didn’t go exactly to plan (with the update getting pulled within hours) but firmware 2.40 brought, finally, some way of digitally quantifying your in-game achievements.
