PS3 system software update (v. 4.10)

PSBlog: In the course of today, a new system software update (v. 4.10) is for PlayStation ® 3 (PS3) published. The new features include:

The Internet browser has been improved, which optimizes the display of content and increases the accuracy when viewing page layouts. Some sites that previously could not be correctly displayed, including interactive websites, are now supported with the PS3 system software 4.10.

Every time your PS3 system to connect to PlayStation ® Network (PSN) are prepared in the time you can precisely set via the Internet. For this you go into the XMB (XrossMediaBar) on [Settings]> [Date and Time Settings] [Automatic Settings] to.

PSN account will be renamed Sony Entertainment Network account. The registration process and the credentials will remain the same.

In order to download PS3 system software version 4.10 requires at least 180 MB of free space on the PS3 Hard Disk Drive (System Update) or on removable storage media (PC Update).

"The Internet browser has been improved, which optimizes the display of content and increases the accuracy when viewing page layouts. Some sites that previously could not be correctly displayed, including interactive websites, are now supported with the PS3 system software 4.10."

Bout dam time they start working on the browser, though I don't expect huge changes.

And I'm confused about the PSN time thing?

[SPARDA_426]

I was hoping for them to fix up the internet for quite a while now, good to now it has now been improved.

[Nitrowolf2]

Um WOW
I take that I don't expect anything huge back. The web browser is so much more faster
Youtube is LOTS better then before

[Kevin ButIer]

Wow finally a good update...

[problemchild84]

Yeah fixing the browser has been long overdue, it seems to work much faster for me now after the update and www.1channel.ch actually works now on PS3!! Plus it hasn't frozen once yet since updated.

[LORD-PHOENIX]

DROPBOX SUPPORT

enough said....finally a worthwhile update, SEN is finally stepping its game up bigtime

[Panzerkanzler]

Dropbox? Never heard of it.

[sikbeta]

Nice and all, of course better than the crap updates that didn't add s***, I'm expecting more features to be added now that Vita is coming, well I'm hoping for that :P

[Masta_fro]

Youtube is STILL 240p which sucks ass!!!!

[darthv72]

my company uses dropbox for things. Pretty neat. It's basically a cloud storage option. You have dropbox client on your pc and can put stuff there and pull it down from any other dropbox client.

[thedude44]

YEEESSSS!!!!!!!

[LiL T]

Yess this works great now. Much more support and it works alot faster. vwvortex.com ,weedblog, n4g,and smokingmeatfours all work fine on the ps3 now.

edit Youtube seems smoother and millerwelds work normal now.
edit 2 @ Godmars290... in Canada can't get hulu anyways ( at least where I am)

[Godmars290]

Still, you likely wont be able to watch Hulu and if you can watch Youtube better, you wont the next day.

Downloading it now and I'm in the States.

[Darth_Bane79]

There is a Hulu app for the PS3 you can download for free at the PS store. It works just like Netflix

[yesmynameissumo]

While Google Music now loads, you can't listen to you library via the browser. You CAN download you songs to your PS3 and play them though. WIN.

[yesmynameissumo]

Just cleared cache...everything deleteable. Now Google Music Works!

[FlareDReborn]

Alas one can watch porn is peace.

[Darth_Bane79]

You could watch porn already.. I used Xvideos, always worked.

[SSKILLZ]

Umbassa :)

[Pushagree]

Wow n4g doesnt freeze on ps3 anymore. Web browser is 100x better now.

[Maddens Raiders]

is a good update.

[NiKK_419]

Dammit. I wanted to try out the browser before I updated so I know how well it works now (haven't used the browser in a couple years), but then it froze and now it's "checking and restoring file system"... Am I f**ked? I think I'm f**ked.

Anyway, it's about time that they updated the browser. I know there's a lot of people who only have a PS3 as their browser.

Edit: It seems fine now. Updating.

[KUV1977]

The translation of the time-thingy is terrible. There is now an option to let the PS3 auto-sync the time with the internet upon connection to the PSN.

[falloutx]

The web browser is much better it hasn't frozen once since the update. Hopefully this isn't just a one time thing and they keep updating the browser.

[soraalam1]

Guys, for HD YouTube on PS3, check out PS3YouTube.com. You can even download any video!

[Krew_92]

Yeah the time was always getting messed up, you had to constantly be changing it because it moved drastically.

This new automatic time update is really helpful.

[jwk94]

Not available in the US yet.

[princejb134]

im in the us and im downloading now

[jwk94]

Yeah, it just went live.

[ChiVoLok0]

I was going to tell you it was but then I remembered I don't live in the U.S. anymore

[mttrackmaster38]

Was just about to play Kingdoms of Amalur, but it wouldn't let me sync my EA account(for my free dlc) before I download this big ass update. Who even uses the ps3 browser?

[Arksine]

There are other reasons for the update, but the most noticable for the end user is the browser.

I think sometimes folks forget that the PS3 is also a bluray player. I suspect that most of the PS3 updates have to do with that functionality. I know my standalone bluray player requires firmware updates fairly often.

[edwineverready]

I do as i don't have a pc or laptop.

[Dee_91]

I get tired of watching porn on my laptop and at my desk.
I like to lay out on the couch , stretch,watch big booties on big tv.
And I watch movies on letmewatchthis :D

[Allowen]

The PS3 web browser used to rock (never crashed) for quite a long time but then it is atm (before fw4.10) freezing my console all the time .

I guess now I will be able to use this nice web browser once again !

BTW I don t know why people hate this WB so much since it is actually good to be used to answer e-mails , checj gaming; other news etc.
I got a PC not far away from my PS3 but I rather just use my console if I am going to check "simple " web pages.

[bahabeast]

cnt wait 2 get home 2 my ps3 and try out the browser ive been waitin for this a long time:)

[thedude44]

its good

[Jac5al]

The web browser seems to work better now. Been using it for about 5min now and hasn't crashed/frozen yet. Seems faster as well.

[MADGameR]

I just got a PS3 yesturday, so I can't complain >_>

[A_Forsaken_User]

Congrats!

[Wario7414]

Ive had mine since launch day and this is christmas in february. With this update, twisted metal and ssx coming this month sony deserves my money.

[SaffronCurse]

This is such a good day!
Great store update
A much needed browser update
And Steam sales

[GribbleGrunger]

what do you mean, great store update? i see nothing new except the browser working slightly better. i thought this update was supposed to bring everything together?

[Megaman_nerd]

they finally updated the flash player, now you can even watch Twitch TV! The 720p is laggy though but it runs fine at 480p or below.

[Bathyj]

I just want them to fix the EU download issue.
I cant even get a demo at the moment.

[Pintheshadows]

Mine is fixed now dude as of about two hours ago. See if it's working your end.

[WitWolfy]

Yeah im from the EU too, and the store has been fixed since yesterday afternoon. Already downloaded all my overdue PSN+ content ;)

[tawak]

yes, i can fnally watch some decent porn!

[edwineverready]

finally someone who is honest. nothing like porn on a 56 inch led tv :)

[Killman]

Wow, I am impressed so far. FINALLY an update that actually gives something good to EVERYONE.

[DarthBigE]

Yes! ps3themes.com search bar works now!

[rajman]

Youtube on the new browser is still 240p smh :-(

[Pintheshadows]

Finally the browser is fixed. It took five years but it's fixed.

[mayberry]

I hope "neogaf" finally works! can I finally leave "javascript" on now?!

[edwineverready]

yes you can.

[Tommy334]

I cant wait to get home and check this out

[nix]

took them nearly freaking 5 years.. but.. finallyyyyyy.....

good update.

[danthebios]

Great job Sony & thanks :)

[Marugo]

[Dee_91]

Damn what phone do you have ?
My htc evo got a 24 and my iphone got 40.Didnt even check my old black berry im sure its lower than 24

[nevin1]

n4g works again.

[ziggurcat]

anyone have any more details about this update? the blog is not very helpful and the link you select goes to the 4.00 FW update page...

[falloutx]

This update was great for people like me who always used the PS3 web browser.

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

YES!! I think we shud all be thankful for the SENsational change of going from an old system to a new system :) sucks I cant get to this until tomorrow tho because im at college right now and dont go back home until late tomorrow night :(

[Dualshockers_Carlos]

So now we can all use the browser without fear of freezing and force-powering off the system? Great job Sony.

[Mister_G]

Web browser update? Nice!! :D

Worth downloading just for that (hopefully).

[Sizzon]

Good job Sony, about time :D

[THC CELL]

Browser is rapid. Hidden feature found u can publish on facebook now when u rate games. This has to be turned on in facebook settings

[kasasensei]

Make a break in your #playstationplus sub and you'll lose all previous games and content from a precedent subscription. #PSN #SEN

Do not use your #PSN #SEN for 18 months and #sony delete it.

You can't engage #Sony responsibility in any case regarding any loss of private or bank data from #SEN, #PSN & refund is now limited to 40€.

Sony can add or delete silently any feature without any notice.

CHECK THAT BEFORE SAYING YES TO THE NEW CONDITIONS PEOPLE!

[Euthanasia78]

So? We should say no, and throw away our PS3's? It's not like we have a choice. Either accept it or start playing xbox. You can't say no. Are you telling people to say no, so they can't use their ps3's? Makes no sense. Yes, Sony makes us accept. It's good to know what it says, but really. We have no choice.

[CynicalVision]

'Do not use your #PSN #SEN for 18 months and #sony delete it.'

It's about time, too many people are creating secondary accounts just for trophies or what-not and it's making choosing a username so much more difficult.

[ziggurcat]

"Sony can add or delete silently any feature without any notice."

welcome to forever ago when this has always been in the ToS.

and you get a negative bubble vote for being a fear mongering clod.

[cyclindk]

Good, now improve Netflix the laggy crap!

[digger18]

Must be your connection, because mine is super fast with no lag whats so ever.

[cyclindk]

Crazy?! Really? I am referring to the interface, all the icons/pictures and whatnot is a total lag-fest as if it were running on same ancient PC.

Once you do get through the arduous navigation lag, the streaming footage plays fine and good resolution.

On my PC and other computers and even Roku it runs excellent so it isn't the connection and my PS3 is hardwired... as far as I know, it's always been like this, except... maybe a long time ago when you needed a disc when it first came to PS3. And I was running an old model PS3 back then. Now it's a slightly newer model.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Netflix, doesn't seem to help.

[MaximusPrime]

I'm agreeing with digger18. Absolutely love Netflix on PS3!

[cyclindk]

Just re-installed it again, improved slightly, but still laggy compared with how other "apps" of this sort work on any device these days. The UI is smooth, silky and seamless on phones, pods, computers, but why not my PS3?

I've checked and many people still complain about the laggy UI.

Perhaps it just doesn't seem laggy to ya'll?

I don't know, are any of you very tech savvy? Have modern devices and computers that run applications smoothly? Just checking to see if it isn't some perceptual disparity.

Thanks

[MaximusPrime]

I got access to Netflix on my laptop, iphone, ipad and PS3. barely experience lag, probably first few seconds.

I'm guessing your ISP download speed is pretty weak?
im around 8mb and its good.

[P_Bomb]

Yes, I can finally download videos directly from Gametrailers.com again instead of waiting for PS3youtube.com to port 'em over! Plus I can access their whole library again, like AVGN. It's been forever. Good update.

[Acquiescence]

I used the web browser on my PS3 a surprising amount, despite how utterly crap it was. I'm delighted that it's been updated finally.

[Yomiro]

I was hoping for chrome but this browser update is good enough for me, I'm loving it.

[Euthanasia78]

WWW.PS3-Themes.com . Free themes even dynamic. I literally have hundreds. This is not a trick. Free themes at this site. It works great.

[CynicalVision]

Yeah, that site has been around for a few years now.

[jtenma]

Why is it when I try to download from Ps3 , it shows up as corrupted? A corrupted .p3t(theme file). i'm trying to donload a dynamic them from my PS3...

:(

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

the site is reported to have harmful things that can damage your pc, I wouldn't go here If I were you guys even though it wud be nice..

[demonJAKAL]

PSN also loads a lot faster before I used to sit there on Wednesday's waiting to see what had been updated and it would take ages to show the icons

[Sakkaku]

Congrats Sony!
I remember when we could install our on OS so we wouldn't have to ONLY use the shitty PS3 browser. Oh wait, an update took that way. 3 steps back, but this time, one step forward. Keep up the decent work.

I still remember Sony, I never forget!

Now where is that update for the backwards compatibility emulation on my 80 gig?

*sigh* Well, there is always hope, no?

[loobtube]

finally I can use my talktalk mail account,plus some naughty sites;)

[PastyGangster]

I can watch porn on my PS3 web browser now.

[CynicalVision]

If anyone's interested, the Vita also has a new firmware update that's gone live.

[InFAMOUS1]

It appears they also added feedback volume for the ps3 wireless headphones... You can finally hear yourself talking.

[Tunerboy8732]

"The Internet browser has been improved, which optimizes the display of content and increases the accuracy when viewing page layouts. Some sites that previously could not be correctly displayed, including interactive websites, are now supported with the PS3 system software 4.10"

All I gotta say is its about damn time!

[s45gr32]

Finally an improvement on the forgotten PS3 browser

[TBONEJF]

Thank YOU SONY for making my PORN RUN SMOOTHER ON MY PSN I MEAN SEN! xhamster.com (JUST PORN NO BULL SHT).

[seanpitt23]
