IGN: Get the Most out of PS3 Firmware 3.40

Last night, Sony released Firmware 3.40 for the PlayStation 3. Now, a firmware update isn't anything PlayStation Network users aren't used to, but this system update actually does quite a bit – stuff like improved Facebook integration, video tools and a slick new Trophy display.

None of it's rocket science, but if you turn your PlayStation back on right after downloading the update, it might be hard to see all the new stuff right away. So, IGN put together a quick starter's guide on where to go and what to do to access your PS3's new bells and whistles.

The only Future proof console on the market today

D4RkNIKON5048d ago

Truth. Nintendo will put out a new console sooner than later and xbox doesn't have Blu-ray. PS3 is raising the bar in so many areas and hasn't reached it's potential.

Trey_4_life5047d ago

Trust me when i say the PS3 is no where near it's full potential, the future firmware updates will continue to push this console beyond what reality predicts.

We have some of the most technically masterful games like KZ3 and GT5 too look forward too.

The futures bright, the futures playstation.

I just used the video editor for the first time and uploaded it to Facebook with no problems. The quality is great and even though the editor is very simple, it's nice. The new photo gallery is awesome as well, with great Facebook functionality. The rating system in the PS Store is nice. I also like how it shows who has PS Plus and what trophy level someone is right next to their name on your friends list.

I_find_it_funny5047d ago (Edited 5047d ago )

this is all bulls#!t, i dont want integrate with social sites like fb, twitter, picasa, and what not, i want gaming features, G-A-M-I-N-G features, not this bullshit, sharing pictues wtf?
trophies on fb? who the f needs this and what for?
Sony get back to gaming, leave this crap for MS

n4gno5047d ago

"get back to gaming"

they always are, more than anyone else, the others things (editors, facebook, etc) are just others advantages (free).

gtamike5047d ago

Sony has so many games

cappakrako5047d ago

These updates are bullsh*t. PERIOD. Better Facebook integration? Adding trophy levels to friends list bubbles? Taking away Linux? These are good additions?

Sony needs to add gaming related features. Who gives a sh*t if I can look who's commenting on my Facebook pictures? Who says I even have a Facebook page? Back two years ago I would have defended Sony's updates, but now, you Sonyfriends are on your own.

Totally True LCS_ the PS3 is a Beast, it keeps getting more Awesome Features for the PS3 Community and the Line-Up is Just Incredibly Amazing and it just Get Better...

O-T

Video Editor is the Best thing in this FW Update for me...

It's not a massive update with huge features but that doesn't matter , all the little things they're adding over time is making a significant difference , gets better and better.

Paradise Lost5047d ago

Hey it's free, no complaining required.

Godmars2905047d ago

How long have you been on the internetz?

rezzah5047d ago

Enough to know I dont have to pay a extra $50 just to play something I already have.

Montrealien5047d ago

Yet mot enougj to Knowles Thatcher everything PME has a bref Wotherspoon something.

house5047d ago

kinda sad most people don't think like that.
but over im happy with the update and psn+

midgard2275047d ago

It Only does Quality

<(^_^)>

vhero5047d ago

The photos features cool how you can see comments as the gallery was cool looking anyway but with facebook integration now it just beats MS attempt. Then again you get full facebook through PS3 browser anyways. So you get the best of both whichever you prefer.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis4h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast3h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg23h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7223h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 1h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK21h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast3h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake20h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast3h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon15h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast3h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
