  • PS3 System Software Update - v3.72

    It has been nearly two months since the last system software update for the PS3. Today we have learned that firmware 3.72 is now available for download and from what has been announced so far are minor changes regarding the PS3 format software and network services.


    To Quote: Eric Lempel - VP, Sony Network Entertainment

    A new PS3 system software update, v3.72, will be released soon. With this minor update, system stability during use of PS3 format software and network services has been improved.
    Source1:

    Until the release we can only speculate. But what does come to mind is could this update relate to recent downgrade options. We will keep you updated once more information regarding the firmware update is released.

    UPDATE:

    Find out what features are included in PS3 system software update 3.72.

    An update to the PS3 system software was released on 20 September 2011. If you update your PS3 system, the system software version will be 3.72 and the following features will be updated. In order to download PS3 system software version 3.72, you will need a minimum 190MB of free space on either the PS3 Hard Disk Drive (System Update) or on removable storage media (PC Update).

    Main features in system software update version 3.72

    Playback quality during use of some PlayStation 3 format software has been improved.
    Note:

    Depending on the software title, you may not be able to play without first updating the PS3 system software.
    Do not perform updates using any data other than the official update data provided by Sony Computer Entertainment over a network or on disc media, and do not perform updates by methods other than those described in the product documentation or in this site. If an update is performed using data from another source, by another method, or with a PS3 system that has been altered or modified in any way, the PS3 system may not operate properly and may not be able to install the official update data. Any of these actions may void the PS3 system warranty and affect your ability to obtain warranty services and repair services from Sony Computer Entertainment.
    Source2:

    Just remember that if you update to official FW3.72 you will lose all Homebrew and won't be able to run CFW.

    WARNING: Some users on various sites have reported that after updating Netflix no longer works. To fix this error do the following. Start Netflix from the PS3 and immediately hold the Start and Select buttons together. It should ask you if you want to Reset Netflix. Select yes and you will need to re-enter your Netflix email and password. It should then start working.

    Thanks to Tranced for the news submission!!

      The real question that we all want to ask is "Will this new firmware tickle my whistle?"
