PS3 Firmware 3.0 Released

As previously announced, PS3 firmware version 3.0 has now been released. The new firmware brings many eye candy releated features and improved functions on various other features. You can view the official changelog below:

  • Multi-Audio - Audio can now be output to multiple connectors simultaneously. You can set this option under [Settings] > [Sound Settings] > [Audio Multi Output].
  • Video Content Playback - During Video content playback, you can now use the right stick to play content in slow playback, fast reverse, and fast forward.
  • Settings Descriptions - Now below each setting option under the Settings tab on the XMB, there is now a brief description in small font.
  • New Start Up Logo - Upon starting up your PS3, you will be greeted with the new ?PS3? Logo.
  • Copy/Paste Function - There is now a copy/paste function for the web browser, and messages.
  • Internet Connection Speed Test - Check your internet connection upload/download speed. Go to [Network Settings] > [Internet Connection Test]
  • Internet Browser Screen Capture Feature - Press Triangle on Internet Browser, then under File > Save Screenshot.
  • Custom Remote Play Settings - Manually set a device (such as a PSP system) to be used for remote play.
  • New Avatar Support - Support for future additions of PSN avatars has been added. No new avatars have been added along with the firmware. However the support is there.
  • ?What?s New? ? The ?Information Board? will be replaced with a ?What?s New? section, which allows you to enjoy interactive PlayStation news every time you start the PS3 system. Located under the PlayStation Network icon, ?What?s New? displays the latest and greatest game, video, PlayStation Network and PlayStation news and releases, as well as your recently played games, in a sleek, new animated format.
  • Status Indicator ? In the top right corner we?ve added an indicator bar, which displays your user icon, friend icon, the number of friends you have online and a small message icon to let you know if you have any new messages. The indicator also includes a scrolling ticker that features the latest news from PlayStation Network. In addition, when you press the PS button, the battery life indicator will no longer cover up the clock.
  • Friends List ? Now your PlayStation Network friends will appear in a slightly redesigned format on your Friends List. Also, messages will now be viewable from each of your friends? respective profiles.
  • PlayStation Store Shortcuts ? We?ve added a handy shortcut icon to the PlayStation Store under both the Game and Video categories so you can access the latest content quickly and easily.
  • Personalization ? Personalize your PS3 with new dynamic custom themes and avatars. Dynamic themes as well as free and premium avatars will be available through PlayStation Store. A dynamic theme takes your screen to a whole new level as it incorporates animated objects into the background.
  • Trophies ? Showcasing your hard earned trophies just got better. Update 3.00 gives game developers the ability to modify how they display trophies for add-on content. Base and add-on game trophies will continue to be combined into a single list so you can see where you stand in a game as a whole. Within that list, trophies will be broken out into subcategories?base trophies and add-on trophies?that way, you can easily view the percentage of your base game trophy collection, and separately track your trophy progress in add-on packs. Look for this enhancement to be included in upcoming games.
Dashhacker also reports the Open Remote Play once again works with the new firmware, we will report back once he releases an official update on his app.

Overall not too bad of a update this time around. There is most likely hidden updates in this new firmware that are (as usual) not reported, let us know what you find and we will update the list.

You have to use the SDK to create these themes (us users won't be able to do it)

PS3 Firmware 3.0 Released

Update: Woot woot… Just got word from Dashhacker… You will notice a new option for Mobile Phones under Settings -> Remote Play Settings -> Register Device. With that said, Dashhacker has ORP working again. Those changes are being committed to SVN right now. If you feel inclined to compile from source, go nuts. Otherwise wait for an official release, which will happen sooner rather than later.

Update: Oooh… New start-up screen. New particles floating in the background; I’m guessing animated themes are supported now. Bigger fonts & icons. New ticker in the top right corner: shows the number of friends online, the number of unread messages, and the date/time with some scrolling news below. If you have a long list of media, a progress indicator is shown to the left when holding up/down to scroll through it all. Many new settings under each of the sub-setting menus. Open Remote Play: no more video at all. Still exploring…

Get it now — System Update… I’ll report back later.
get the latest svn builds here:

What do you want a hug and a kiss?

Well I'm sorry you didn't receive more attention as a child, but I recommend Adultfriendfinder... they'll understand you.

It was announced by Sony that it would be released September 1, a no surprise.

Oh, sure, Sony! Wait for me to leave and then release it. I'm not getting back to my PS3 until the 18th.

btw the copy/paste function was in the browser in 2.80. I remember using it once to look-up something on imdb.
