So last night, after a week of abstaining from using the internet at home (was part of an experiment I did on myself), I finally managed to conclude that having internet at home didn't do significant damage to my study habits.

After a week of hard work, I needed to play Call of Duty 4 online (yes, I don't play MW2, and if anyone's interested you can add me: SilverSkylark) and I was told that I needed to update to 3.30. Tried to do it but after two or more minutes of 0% download, I decided to check out how large the file is (too lazy to let the ps3 dl overnight). Turns out to be 166mb (170 after downloading) which my schools internet can handle pretty easily (downloaded it this morning, done in 10 minutes. Internet is crappy here).

So while looking for the update, I noticed that there seems to be issues with the update ranging from non responsive bluetooth controllers (unless you connect them manually) to turning your PS3 into a big ass paperweight. Some issues also posed problems as the game will freeze after 15 or so minutes of playing and bugs the game sometimes.

The crappy thing is now that I'm thinking twice on updating to 3.30 since Sony hasn't released a stand on it yet about the update (or maybe I haven't looked hard enough) since some people are really pissed off because they became Sony's Beta Testers and some of the units actually broke down.

So, if anyone of you updated to 3.30 and had problems with it or knows about the issue more than I do please do share.


My ps3 is 60GB Fat, my dad got it 2~3 years ago, don't know if that helps..

well, you're going to have to update if you want to play online and keep recieving updates to your games, so there's not much choice ...

i heard failure stories as well.
a new fw screwed over the slim ps3's internal clock, cant play stuff till next fix.
lol.

if you are really that cautious, go look at the sony boards for problem first before upgrading.

Hmmm my SSF4 has been freezing at the ending screen after a match where the points are shown with me unable to return the lobby for like 10 min ./ a reset. I've also been randomly signed out of PSN quite a bit too. Even though I'm always able to re-logon its annoying and sometimes my inbox + friends list disappears only to return later.

Sorry sung, I see you msg'd me a bunch and I never saw them until like now (night time). Not trying to dodge you.

But ya, if you don't have ti play your game sonline i guess I wouldn't be in a rush to update it

well I have an option not to update...what I'm asking is that if I should update because 3.30 can fuck up my ps3, I'm not after playing online.

You can look it up further but I remember Sony telling people to not play their PS3s so that they don't get all the bugs associated with the patch.

So, wait a bit to download it unless it's required for a game
