i kno we're a little bit of a minority but i want auto sync support for trophies... maybe somewhere down the line.. when im 30 itll happen lol
It seems we are over due for A big update, but since the hack and the network being down i think all those plans are going to be pushed back into later in the year or the start of next year.
Anyone had a problem with the new update last night?
I was in the process of updating and once it downloaded the patch, the screen turned black. My controller turned off and I couldn't turn off the console through the front button. I had to hit the switch in the back, luckily as soon as I turned it out the installation of the patch started and finished. Weird.

Hi everyone! As we are continuously working toward providing the best gaming and entertainment experience on PlayStation 3, I wanted to give you all a heads up on the following new features and changes coming with the next system software update (v.3.70).
To make things easier for PlayStation Plus subscribers, we’ve added the option to automate two existing features. The [Automatic Download] feature will now be called [Automatic Update] as a result of these new options;
- A new auto upload function for online save data back-up will be added to make it easier to back-up your game save data. Under (Game), select the game for which you want to automatically upload saved data, and then press the Triangle button.
- Also, Trophies will now sync automatically at the timing of Auto Download.
A new recommendation function will be added that enables you to share your recommendations for PlayStation Store items, such as games and videos, with PlayStation Network friends. You will be able to send messages with a store link from the product pages within the PlayStation Store.
Due to the increase in video applications being offered on PS3, we are adding a new category on the XMB called TV/Video Services. This category will include video applications such as Netflix, Hulu PLUS, and VUDU.
You’ll be able to find and download all of the video applications available on PS3 directly from this new XMB category.
A folder labeled “My Channels” within this category will allow you to easily access your downloaded applications. Any videos downloaded from the PlayStation store will continue to be placed in the existing Video category on the XMB.
Two updates for all of you enjoying Blu-ray 3D movies on PS3:
- 3D support will now be available when accessing Java-based special features on Blu-Ray:
- DTS-HD MA, DTS-HD HR decoding/bit stream output (or lossless audio) will be supported while playing Blu-ray 3D movies.
- 3D digital photos in MPO format can now be viewed in 3D on the XMB and in the Photo Gallery app.
System Software Update v4.25
At this year’s Gamescom press conference, we announced that Online Game Save Storage will be upgraded to 1GB for PlayStation Plus members, and I’m happy to report that the increase will be available soon with PS3 system software update (v4.25)!
After you’ve installed the update, simply go to the Saved Data Utility under the Game column of the XMB. From there you can access the Online Storage folder and find any existing game saves already uploaded, as well as the increase in space to 1GB. So set your automatic download to upload every game save for every compatible game you play and enjoy the additional breathing room. You can also continue to use this feature to selectively upload game saves you specify.
The update is now live for EU users, and will be available to US users soon.

Finally I can back up my save for Afrika!!!
Yep! Got this last night. For those upgrading who have PSN+, you have to load up your cloud storage, and you'll see it still has 150MB. open THAT folder, and you'll see your saves loading up. You can then back out and see it's now registering 1 gig.
Not sure why ya have to do that, but you do.

It looks that way unfortunately. Who knows... it could just be regular maintenance knowing Sony, so I wouldn't get your hopes up mate. It would be nice to see some new "features" or something though, because like you said... it's been a while!
wouldn't mind Beta testing the new interface for the ps4
.Ok, now i can wake up from my dream
FYI kids, the new ps3 update 4.45 is locking up ps3s after updating. Don't update until its safe! Just trying to help. Also note it looks like its affecting ps3s with drives over 500gbs
I have a 320g HD on mine.Not to jinx myself,but i updated before i knew about this and i haven't had any problems so far.I feel sorry for those people who have lost their ps3's to this.Sony was on such a roll for a minute there,i guess this bring them back down to earth.
Why would people want to turn the sound off for when they earn trophies?This was a lame update and now it's causing lock ups.I recently seen a joke that was classic though.

Its not just the sound but also the notification that pops up. Takes many out of the immersion in the game.
And the update was taken down in mere hours of it going up. Problem was it was a mandatory update on a sunday night. Needed to update just to use netflix.
