  • PS3 System Software Update v3.70 - Coming Soon !!!

    Today, Eric Lempel, VP or Sony Network Entertainment announced via blog to be on the look out for OFW v3.70 arriving soon. Sony's main focus point with this update seems to be that they want to keep the user online, and updated, and giving them money to be a part of their PlayStation Plus service. Also announced, PSP OFW v6.60 is coming soon as well.


    Hi everyone! As we are continuously working toward providing the best gaming and entertainment experience on PlayStation 3, I wanted to give you all a heads up on the following new features and changes coming with the next system software update (v.3.70).

    To make things easier for PlayStation Plus subscribers, we’ve added the option to automate two existing features. The [Automatic Download] feature will now be called [Automatic Update] as a result of these new options.
    •A new auto upload function for online save data back-up will be added to make it easier to back-up your game save data. Under (Game), select the game for which you want to automatically upload saved data, and then press the Triangle button.
    •Also, Trophies will now sync automatically at the timing of Auto Download.


    A new recommendation function will be added that enables you to share your recommendations for PlayStation Store items, such as games and videos, with PlayStation Network friends. You will be able to send messages with a store link from the product pages within the PlayStation Store.

    Due to the increase in video applications being offered on PS3, we are adding a new category on the XMB called TV/Video Services. This category will include video applications such as Netflix, Hulu PLUS, and VUDU.
    •You’ll be able to find and download all of the video applications available on PS3 directly from this new XMB category.
    •A folder labeled “My Channels” within this category will allow you to easily access your downloaded applications.
    •Any videos downloaded from the PlayStation store will continue to be placed in the existing Video category on the XMB


    Two updates for all of you enjoying Blu-ray 3D movies on PS3:
    •3D support will now be available when accessing Java-based special features on Blu-Ray
    •DTS-HD MA, DTS-HD HR decoding/bit stream output (or lossless audio) will be supported while playing Blu-ray 3D movies.
    •3D digital photos in MPO format can now be viewed in 3D on the XMB and in the Photo Gallery app.


    The 3.70 update will be available soon; additional details will be available after the firmware goes live. Separately, there will also be a minor PSP system software update (v. 6.60) launching soon.

    As always, let us know of any feedback in the comments below.
    Recently, Sony PS have been releasing minor updates with an emphasis on blocking jailbreak; so in other words, this could be ploy aimed at keeping your PS3's away from the new breed of Jailbreak devices around the corner. Or, could it be complete control of your console they are after? Either way, I do not want to give Sony that much power over my console.

    As always, you are advised not to update. There current line-up of updates have been laugh worthy at best, and seem to cause more problems then they are good for. Sony is not doing you any favors, as always.

      That is just what we want them to think That way they become overconfident and start making casual mistakes.

      We will hear more on this later, if Sony has included any new features to battle Jailbreaking or not, as the information becomes available.

      @Tthousand true... but think about it like I said and another post... there havent been a cfw out since 3.55 in a while over 6months... I dont think a dev alive would risk putting their neck out for a cfw... Geohot and Failoverflow was trying but Sony squashed them like a bug... like I said from the looks of it Sony will always have the upper-hand advantage (Money, Power)

      @owanef No that doesnt mean a new cfw how many times the whole scene been over this before... cfw over 3.55 is slim to none at the moment no dev will risk their freedom for the scene...

      @Darkman, the funny thing is I waited even longer for the original PSGroove to be released. I remember hearing about Sony and geohot back when he was messing around with OtherOS++ still. The point is... I think we can agree on this, too... is DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH

      Automatic updates now, huh? Seems like Sony is screaming "DON'T READ THE CHANGE LOG SO YOU WON'T KNOW WE HAVE TOTAL CONTROL NOW!"

      @darkman ,what the hekk are you talking about ?what risk, what putting their neck out? even a retard could figure out a way to anonymously upload something to the internet, so your point is moot, and someone,anyone smart enough to make a cfw would certainly be smart enough to figure out a way to upload a file anonymously, here i'll give you an example ,put cfw on a flash drive ,put on hoodie and sun glasses ,go to a sony style store ,walk in and use a display vaio laptop(yes the displays have internet access) to create a new gmail, hotmail ,or whatever email account, then make a new psx scene account,ps crunch,pshax ,or p3s hacks, account with the new email account, then release the 3.66 keys or a link to a cfw .there done, and the fact it comes from one of their own machines in one of their own stores ,over thier own paid isp account, would be a nice touch as well, the ultimate slap in the face ,or just use a psp and and any unsecured network and do the same thing ,no way possible to get caught ,even geohot himself could do it and not be found out ,and thats being overly cautious,

      oh and what are they talking about in the article? , "new breed of jailbreak devices that are around the corner"? what do they mean by that? do they mean the infectus and soldered in hard mods that impossibeland that nobody is going to ever do? certainly not enough people for them to care enough to make a chage to fefeat them ,the scene is already so small as it is ,probabl less that 1/2% of all consoles ,and the number of pople using infctus or infectus like devices is ans will reamin imeasurablesince all someone has to do for the moment is to buy used,unless someone comes out with a snap on chip clip for these infectus devices,liek they have ro wii drive chip modding,or do they know something ther not telling us, ,about "new jailbreak devices arroung the corner"?and who knows maybe soon ,like after new games are released like uncharted3 the hollier than thou devs who have the keys or cfw will release the 3.66 cfw or keys but not 3.70 or lv0 ones , maybe they wont mind releasing them as much,since they will be old and not the current keys to play the latest games ,since they will still have something else to hold over our heads,the 3.70+ cfw/keys,i would think they would not want to keep us THAT far behind, you know ,so we dont start loosing interest altogether ,and stop paying attention

      @tthousand point well made sir @themuse true but I never said they DIDNT have it on their consoles there is a 3.60cfw out there but not in the public.. why should a hacker work hard then release their work in the shadows... countless hours thats just crazy... its all about bragging rights... thats what I meant by them sticking thier necks out... besides releasing it will just make things worse
    1. themuse's Avatar
      themuse -
      first of all no its not, it is totally not all about braggin rights, it HAS BECOME all about bragging rights, and that is the problem, hacking and scenes and devs were never like this before
      this is what is ruining this scene ,it should not be about bragging rights ,it should be about helping out the community at large and advancing the scene and giving stuff to others,like other dev,so that they may use your work and build upon it, to come up with bigger and better things, coperation toward a common goal of unlocking the potetial of the hardware is what it is about or should be about ,not fame whoring, and if it is that important to someone, then they could still release anon ,and then release other stuff under the same anon handle,you can still have a rep an a known handle , but why does it have to be able to be linked to your real name and who you are off line and in real life ? it dont, and if your that obcessed you could always just drop subtle hints arround over the course of time to suggest that it is you ,but never enough to provide evidence for someone to prosecute you ,people have become so scared and paranoid that it is ridiculous,the way i see people talk around here its as if they have no grasp on reality, you ,or they can not just base an entire case on hear say and speculation, it wont work ,it will be thrown out without at least SOME evidence , a post in a forum is not evidence and not enough to bring a case ,at least not int he U.S. anyways

      @themuse like you said... it shouldn't be but it is... tbh if Geohot and Failoverflow just stayed low none of them wouldn't of gotten sued but their Ego's got the best of them of saying hey... Sony look what I can do with your console... but then again I guess if you do spend countless time hacking a firmware you want to be known.... if not anyone can say that they did it... but the fact of the matter is I dont think that devs are concerned about the public anymore... after all you have to take a look in none of them get any donations for the cfw.. so its like working for free... why work for free... this is why there hasn't been any progress towards the ps3 scene... 1. Devs aren't going to put their hard work out on the net and not be known. 2. They aren't even getting paid for their work.. lastly 3. (The most important reason) it will be yet another cat and mouse game with Sony... I hate to break it to people but look at it this way... 70% of ps3 games we have access to from launch date all the way up to the 3.60 games (except portal 2) just do what I did... and do your favor and get another ps3... Fighting with Sony really wont get anywhere remember them and the developers are what makes the ps3 go round and round not the hackers... Without Sony no ps3 Without Developers no new games get it? For those who dont like ps3 and saying **** Sony.. just hop over to Microsoft with thier flash and Jtagging I heard you can flash and go online.. in my opinion Xbox has ps3 beat because of that reason... Microsoft doesn't care that much... but a business is a business and you cant let people ruin your business I cant agree with everything Sony does but I do appreciate buying a Sony product and playing my ps3 (jail broken and OFW)

      so after i download a game, then install it, launch the game, then be prompted to install the game update, then relaunch the game, then wait till the trophies install then i'm finaly in the game and when i'm done playing i will have to wait yet again for my trophies to auto sync and after that i'll be able to launch another game, install the prompted update for that game, then relaunch the game and wait till the trophies install then play that game? lmao no thanks

      Actually, it is a PS+ exclusive

      I am sure it will be free one of these days. Actually, I suppose I am not sure... Sony might be "going in for the kill" and making us all pay Why not, it is a perfect time to strike, while the iron is hot! F&$@ing "witches"! Give me some PSX-SCENE Homebrew or some Nintendo and Microsoft before I even think about trusting these guys

      yeah but donations are a bad idea ,thats how sony tried to get geohot , they tried to say he was accepting donatons for his cfw if effect charging fr it,o profiting from it ,if the devs did that then they would really be a target to be sued , that was a major point of contetion in the geo cas if you remember
