PS3 System Software Update (v3.65)

Earlier tonight we released an optional system software update (v3.65) for PlayStation 3. This new firmware improves the operating stability of some PS3 format software, and changes the XMB item SaveData Utility (minis) to [SaveData Utility(minis/PSP)].

Again, this update is optional, and can be downloaded by selecting System Update from the Setting column of the XMB.

Optional update? What the.....

[Joni-Ice]

Yes Optional. Read the article for details. My PS3 should update automatically.

[Lazyeye79]

Its only optional if you don't want to sign in.
If you want to play online then you have to update.

@Lazy

Um Its OPTIONAL I'm Still playing online, even after turning my console on then Back on.

Now we wait for the
"PS3 FW 3.65 bricked me" article

[nopunctuation]

Optional my ass. I had to download that in order sign into psn. Id call that mandatory.

[b_one]

BS... i didnt had to update anything to sig in

[Nitrowolf2]

I didn't have to get it. My AutoDownload downloaded it but didn't install it yet and i'm online with previous FW.

So random... i was wanting to play Infamous 2 immediately after coming back from Gamestop.

edit: There's a 1.01 update for Infamous 2 and it restarts your PS3??? wtf?

edit: It installs a 107mb "Infamous 2 Additional Content" and then restarts the PS3 again. This is after the 1.01 patch's restart.

i hope this fixes the la noire problems. i had the work ps3 break while i was playing and my home systems fan went into over drive blowing dust out of it. like it caught on fire.

[Joni-Ice]

Dude read the article, it will tell you what the changes are. Has NOTHING to do with LA Noire.

[PirosThe4th]

didn't happen to me on my slim... if it sa fat then its time for you to change cooling paste before it goes ylod...

[kitt2112]

Hey DUDE! i did read the very small article and maybe you can explain to me what "operating stability of some PS3 format software" means ? Do you really think sony would come out and say well this fixes the problems some of you have had with la noir, Opp's sorry for any damages that may have occurred. i called sony and they denied any responsibility and said there's no proof on what caused the problems. Is La noir not a ps3 formated software?

And @ PirosThe4th the ps3 at my work is a 60gb, the laser went not the mother board , my home ps3 is a metal gear gun gray 40gb, and it's still working fine, thank god.

[KillaManiac]

Says it improves operational stability of some PS3 software.

If a random update can possibly improve performance how can you not be happy about that?

[rdgneoz3]

Some will be unhappy that they have to download an update for a few minutes, even though it may help improve operating stability.

[Omar91]

im hoping that since they revealed xmb for psvita, that they implement xmb somehow to the ps3.

[ChrisGTR1]

you know what pisses me off is how they showed off that vita is going to have 8 player cross game chat then you look at the ps3 AND IT STILL DOESNT HAVE THIS!!!! seriously WTF! how does a portable console have something like that and your all powerfull cell processor console cant do it.

[dangert]

wat he said ^^^^

[HowarthsNJ]

MS owns the concept of cross game chat on a console, but not on a portable.

Personally, I don't want to chat while playing console or portable.

[Nitrowolf2]

I'm wondering is PS Vita is more powerful then the PS3 when it comes to the system OS.
8 Player cross chat, thats two more then PS3 all while in-game.

Maybe we will get an update?

I think PS3 can do it
