Forums - Sony - I am sick of all these updates!

I really think that I have a cursed PS3. My Wii60 downloads WAY faster, and they are all wireless connected to the same router.

They take 5 minutes top (install+download). What really pisses me off though is multiple game updates and when you have downloaded 6/7 it gets corrupted and you have to start all over.



Are you using dial-up? Carrier pigeon? If your using wireless, something ain't right. I'd just download the firmware on a PC to usb flash drive, then use that to update. I treid it last time, it's the fastest way.

I only download updates when they are required for a new game - but then they are always on the game disc - 20-30 seconds to install.

I think there is somethign wrong with your net connection btw

PS3 3.30 System Software Update

Hi everyone, in our continued effort to provide the best, most comprehensive entertainment experience possible, we’ll be adding a few new features to PlayStation 3 (PS3) via the latest system software update, which is a mandatory update and will be available shortly. Most notably, you’ll see some new sorting options within Trophies that make it easier to claim bragging rights among your friends on PlayStation Network.

  • Trophy enhancements –- Now you can more easily sort trophies in the [Trophy Collection] and [Comparing Trophy] sections. Sorting can be done with [Trophy Collection] in the [Game Category] and also when comparing trophies with your friends in the [Friend Category]
    • Trophy Folder (Title List) can be sorted by game name/ by title according to the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
    • Add-on list (Group list) can be sorted by original/the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
    • Trophy list can be sorted by original/trophy name/grade/date of obtaining the trophy (ascending/descending)

In addition, this update preps the PS3 system for some upcoming new features, including 3D stereoscopic gaming, which is coming soon to PS3, in time for the launch of Sony’s 3D BRAVIA TVs.

Let us know your thoughts and as always, we look forward to your feedback.

They are usually useless and they usually take a lot of time. Im not a fan of the updates, I haven't used a single feature they added to the system. All I can say about it is that its one good reason to not use PSN.



Tease.

yeah I really hate when they added pointless things like trophy support to the PS3.

Who the hell uses that crap anyway?

avoid the PSN.
