PlayStation LifeStyle writes:
"Just a heads up to everyone that Firmware 2.76 is now available for all PS3 owners.

As quoted from the official PlayStation Blog,

"This is a minor update that improves the playback quality of some PS3 format software." " (PS3)

Update Update: Seems as if Trophy/Profile Viewing has been made almost instantly viewable to the PS3 user. Also the Divx codec has been fixed.

Will continue to update as more features are found out.

Trophies load
Woah, the trophy load speed has DRAMATICALLY increased. Even under comparisons.

@2EXS
Most likely everyone attempting to download it at once. Patience is virtue :)
Dragun619  +   1467d ago
I don't know about you guys but any kind of update is welcomed. I'm not sure why some on a Disagree spree or why many of you are upset but its just a minor update not a major update. Its not like your expecting anything much unlike 2.70 which many speculated and hoped for way to much and were left disappointed.

If it would make feel any better, there might be a chance for FF7 appearing on PSN as FF7:Advent Children Complete release date is coincidentally the same day as Sony's E3 conference, June 2nd. Just like they release FF7 international on PSN the same day they released FF7:AC in Japan.

whoopee
i've not the got the best connection in the world 18meg-down 1meg-up. but i dont like the thought of another 2hours to download an update!!

it took 3 hours tuesday, to download a 304meg update for resistance2.. truely laughable.

i like the idea of constant updates, i just dont like the idea of it taking hours to download something that takes minutes on my other console!

psn.."teh beztz networkz everzzz"

now watch the disagrees because on here dont like it when you dont suck enough sony.
Nineball2112  +   1466d ago
@ king dong2... I'd call you a tool, but tools actually have some function and utility.

I've NEVER had an update of any kind take a half hour to update, let alone 3 hours. If your connection is that bad, maybe you should just give up online gaming?

And if you get disagrees, it's not because "you dont suck enough sony", it's because.... well... you suck.

Keep these updates coming Sony. Every little enhancement they add just makes my already fantastic gaming/entertainment center that much better.

i posted the stats of my connection, and yeah it's not the best. perhaps sony shaft the french(i live in france) with the bandwidth limit from their main servers or something, because the resistance update took 3 hours!! the last firmware took more tham 2 hours aswell.

so because you've never had an update that took so long i'm a tool right! you f^*king little pr**k!

why the f*^k would i lie idiot? yeah i enjoyed not being able to do anything for that long? i'm sorry not a sony fanturd like you...live with it.

and you cant even background download updates either..

A good advise is to ignore the pesky disagree fariy. It feeds off the negative energy it creates...

they're prolly doing it cause you keep whining about it when the agree/disagree button does nothing other than keep track of the number of noobs out there

Just another pointless update..
BigPete7978  +   1467d ago
How can an update be pointless when it's free and it's improving stability?
jahcure  +   1467d ago
Pointless?
Have u downloaded it? The trophies load almost instantly. This is something people asked for and Sony delivered. I can't see this as "pointless"
Hallucinate  +   1467d ago
duh it pointless if it doesnt teach my ps3 to make pancakes its uesless
supahbad  +   1467d ago
ultimately it is a lame update, i mean whoopty doo, they could have just as easily added this to 2.8. But hey what can you expect from a .06 update? it makes no difference to me really, its an ok patch to be honest

KoB4EMvPi  +   1467d ago
It loads trophies faster...
WOW really great update.

Shouldnt it had been fast when it first released..

Im sorry but i didnt pay $600 dollars so my PS3 can load trophies faster.

How bout give us an update that i will use everyday,like IN-GAME VOICE CHAT..
El_Colombiano  +   1467d ago
"Im sorry but i didnt pay $600 dollars so my PS3 can load trophies faster."

Wait, you payed $600 for this update?

Yeah. Shut up.
-EvoAnubis-  +   1467d ago
I was going to get on your case about idiotic statements, but then I checked and saw you're PSN Level 5, which isn't too bad. Given the games on your trophy list, yeah, you probably would use cross game chat daily.

So, instead of jumping at you, I'll just say this: Did you buy a oGFeRNie Computer Entertainment System? No, you bought a PlayStation 3. My point is, it's not all about what updates you personally would use, and it for damn sure isn't about what the competition has. Sony will give us cross game chat when they can do it right, and be sure it's done right, and do it the PlayStation way.

If you're impatient for it, just sell it and keep your 360. Given the last trophy you got was on February 20th, it doesn't seem as if you play it too much anyway, so you probably won't miss it.

Here's an idea
How about you do yourself a favor and sell that $600 machine to somebody that likes playing games. Sell your 360 too. You'll be doing gaming a favor.

Sound Logic!
Shouldn't Windows Vista have been fixed before it was released?
Shouldn't RROD have been fixed before the 360 was released?
Shouldn't Fallout 3 DLC have been fixed before it was released?

Man, you should be running the world with that type of thinking!

KoB4EMvPi  +   1467d ago
Ya i payed $600 for what was advertised
A POWERFUL SYSTEM THAT COULD DO GREAT THINGS.

But yet again ,it doesnt load trophies faster until now..
Get your heads out of SONYs ass..

Cant believe yall satisfied with this update when its clear they lacking pretty much every feature the other box offers.

So much for the most powerful system in the market.
GTFO
villevalorox  +   1467d ago
Are you stupid? It's an update!!! God lmao, You do know M$ has them right? Oh why do they need to update it all should have been done day one :) no? If you compare sony and M$ software issues, I'll compare hardware.. :) ... WTF M$!!! rrod! still!! People paid 400$ for something that just blinks red lights!! OMG!!! haha. get a life dude :) get over it, it is an update. that is to enhance the functionality of the system. You do understand Computers have them every other day? haha. I can't stop loling at this guy.
jahcure  +   1467d ago
Why don't u do the most logical thing?
And sell your ps3 and buy another xbox that has all the features u want? I mean it's not brain surgery. If u want something that's offered elsewhere why stay with the thing that doesn't have it and complain?

Sell the ps3, buy an xbox...problem solved. Sheesh
BigPete7978  +   1467d ago
Why do you own a PS3 if you hate it so?

A free update is just that, a free update. For all you know this update does some behind the scenes work to prep for an massive E3 update (which we would all love).
El_Colombiano  +   1467d ago
"So much for the most powerful system in the market."

Haha you sure are a pathetic young one aren't you? If the games that are on PS3 have yet to convine you of the shear power under that casing then maybe its YOU that should be getting your head out of someone's ass. The PS3 IS the most powerful console on the market, like it or not.

And by the way, my desktop computer from a few years ago can voice/video chat with anybody while I'm playing GeOW (looking far better than the 360 version). Does that make it far more powerful than the 360 or PS3? No. Of course not. Your augment is stupid and pointless.
psycho360  +   1467d ago
Ha look at the fellow ps3 lovers turn on one of their own just cause he is not happy with the product.

Seriously is owning ps3 some kind of religion or what? Why can't anyone who has ps3 not love it to death? I hate some things about 360 such as unreliability in hardware, paying for LIVE and nowadays lack of exclusives. If you guys are not mature enough to understand that its a gaming console and not something which will help you progress through life and benefit you in any other way then just for entertainment, then your comments are justified.
KoB4EMvPi  +   1467d ago
Dude you like the biggest nred on here so i will just stop talking..
I could careless what MS does.

Im talking about the PS3.
It has been in my house for about 2 years and some change.
And they still cant get Voice chat in-game..?
Seriously,this update has been demanded by thousands of people and still nothing.

Seriously,you know its pretty pathetic when i have to log on my xbox 360 and make a party just so i can be able to talk to my friend whn playing GT5 P..

Its pretty sad you have low-standards.
$600 for a system that cant operate features a $200 system can do.

Peace holla @ yall next year when they do finally decide to add it.

ADD ME TO PSN- xHollyhood

oh and KoB4EMvPi, i like how you say "ts pretty sad you have low-standards.

well can your 200 dollar machine play blurays? how about surf the net...
don't forget (native)1080p.. i got a better one for you can it domgs4 or killzone 2.. the answer is no.
also i like how you say a $600 machine yet the 360 is a $200 machine. make up your mind are you using launch prices or current price?
cgoodno  +   1467d ago
Looks like you're angry because there's no voice chat. Okay, fine. But, honestly, I don't see how you can compare your $600 machine to the current $200 machine without realizing that you still have a lot more possibilities with the one over the other.

Yeah, it would be freaking _great_ if they had voice chat, but obviously their open-ended, non-proprietary system is handled much differently than Microsoft's very limited, proprietary system.

There are good and bad to everything, it just happens to be that the bad to Sony's design is most important to you. But don't overlook what is there, even if you don't care to use it. Sony hasn't just been sitting on their hands, doing nothing to improve the system at all. This latest firmware proves that they are listening at the least, and it's unlikely that they _aren't_ working to add in voice chat.

@Kobe MVP
Speak on it. This dude owns a PS3 and should be able to gripe however he sees fit. Its crazy that this dude is completely RIGHT and so many of you act like he killed you're best friend (or did he...lol).

Updates are good...but not when they seem like patches. Loading time for trophies? Why the hell was that EVER a problem? I much prefer the Xbox model of a big few updates a year that add actual functionality, not just fix some SW bug that shouldnt have been in the first place.

OFF TOPIC: And to that Kobe hater on the second post....b@lls to you. The Celtics wont even make it past the Cavs. Last year MVP...Kobe. Not Garnett, or Pierce, or Allen. Nice to win a championship after how many years?! LOL....

And that Spike Lee directed Kobe movie debuts on ESPN this Saturday!!!

They pretty much have stated this from the beginning.

Its an update.
All you kids need to learn how to text chat on you phones.

Personally I don't even use in game music on my 360, so I see no reason for it personally on the PS3. I usually enjoy what the devs intended for me to hear within the game.
