Major Problems with 3.10

XMB has crashed hundreds of times.

XMB is also extremely slow.

Trophies do not load up correctly.

Store takes ages to initally load, and then nothing shows up.

With XMB this bad, my PS3 is practically unplayable on.

EDIT: Tryed MW2 online. Get to matchmaking then freezes everytime; invites and join sessions do not work. Pressing 'Quit Game' turns off system and vice versa.

Controller also turns off when ever I turn off a game.

So far, so good here.

No problem with mine except the trophy thing to, think thats a server problem thing.

After the update it seems things run faster than before and I have one of the release 60 gig systems.jimm895

I also found a few, but relatively minor problems with the new firmware update. I have the 40GB version if it helps.

After I downloaded the update, I restarted the PS3, excited to see the new friends list and Facebook features. After about 5 minutes however, I began to hear my PS3's fan noise increase greatly. I took a glance, and saw it shaking viciously on the TV stand. Sharp objects began coming out of the blu-ray drive, and I assumed that the disk inside cracked and shattered. I was very wrong. Within the next 5 minutes, it began growing arms and legs, and the sharp objects were its teeth. I quickly plugged the PS3 out of the electrical outlet but it was too late. It seemed as if the PS3 managed to build its own electrical generator inside within those 5 minutes. My 6 year old brother tried hitting it with a hammer, but the PS3 became angry and swallowed him whole. In half an hour, the PS3 grew to the size of my two story home! The swat team was alerted and managed to take down the PS3, but not without heavy damage to my house and car. I have tried contacting Sony over this issue, but they haven't responded yet.

Is anybody else facing this issue? I have found that the weakness of the monster-like PS3 that transforms post-firmware 3.10 is the power switch behind it. If you manage to hit the switch after it transforms, it gets deactivated and crumbles down. That is how the Swat team managed to disable it. If you have a PS3 Slim and this has happened to you, I honestly hope you have a spare RPG hanging around, because I think the power switch is the only way to "kill" it.

Hopefully Sony fixes this in their next patch before anyone gets hurt. For now though, I wouldn't update if I were you.

No problems here.

It would be best if you provide some sort of information on your PS3:

Which model?

Did you upgrade HDD?

Refurbished PS3?

Intercooler, usb-powered fans, resting position of PS3?

Consider yourself lucky that you haven't had any problems.

I updated to 3.10 a couple of hours ago and have experience none of the issues you mentioned.

I'm having a minor issue with 3.10 as well. Both my dualshock controllers won't stay synced to my PS3, they just flash repeatedly. The batteries are fully charged on both, and I connected them via USB and they still won't stay synced after I remove the USB cable.

Also, I have tried to reset the controllers via the little pinhole on the back, and that did not help either. :(

Works fine for me.

I also have problems with the trophy list. Not only that but it doesn't allow me to view my profile because it starts to update trohpy info and then an error occurs.

A friend of mine also had the same problem but after a day it went away.

Strange. On the other side of the coin I installed the upgrade this morning and have noticed NO changes other than the way photos are displayed. I have 40g purchased new 2 or so years ago.

I've had some problems initially downloading it and with syncing trophies. Once I did both of them once it's worked perfectly.

I will check my trophies to see if they are different.

No problems for me. In fact, the time it takes to log into PSN have shortened and the XMB and all its functions seems to have been sped up a tad.

I can't connect my controller wirelessly since update, it works fine when plugged in via USB but when I unplug the USB it wont connect.

XMB has crashed hundreds of times.

I'll have to disagree with you since I updated my PS3 to 3.10 yesterday. After the update, I messed around on the XMB, PSN & Home for half an hour to an hour & didn't notice any lag or slow load times. I even DLed a demo from PSN which was 550MB & took less than 4 minutes which is extremely fast even for me. After messing around on the XMB, I played Resistance 2 for a few hours & got some trophies which I think should be there but haven't checked (Don't really care about trophies). You are probably one of the few who are experiencing some difficulties but maybe you are overexaggerating some of the things you are experiencing.

But, just to be sure, I'm gonna go pop in a game & play around & browse around PSN. If I do notice anything different, I'll post back. I highly doubt it......

Edit: I have a 60GB model with the YLOD recently fixed. Not sure if it applies to anything or means anything to anyone but maybe it might.

downloaded this morning, examined and no problems for me. model bc80gb

I have a problem - my trophies sort of get added to my trophy card, but the level doesn't increase. I'm stuck on level 12 1% :?

I'm pretty sure that the Trophy syncing thing isnt the firmaware's fault but MW2's fault, It takes forever to sync up even one trophy and this problem only started to happen after I got MW2.

after updating to 3.10 i was able to connect to PSN/MW2, BUT my headset no longer works! i tried un-pairing it, and then re-pairing it w/ my PS3 but it wouldn't pick up my voice (no its not muted) and i couldn't hear anyone through the earpiece.

my younger bro was unable to connect to PSN after installing the update. he tried restarting his router/modem several times but no dice.

The only thing I noticed is that my browser crashes all time time and freezes my Slim.

Oh but wait.. that happened before the update aswell. nvm :lol:

Sometimes it's taking longer to read bluray movies since the update and sometimes it won't read them at all until I take it out and put them back in. Anyone else experience this?

yeah ive had problems syncing my trophies but other than that its a good update personal

i have the fat 80gig that came with MGS4

and havent had any problems yet

but it does seem that the xmb icons do load a but slower

3.10 is garbage. Installed on my slim and now i have major bluetooth issues. Have to retrain the controller multiple times every time I power on (tried other controllers too, same thing). Have to retrain my bluetooth headset every time as well. Also experiencing the freezing t matchmaking screens for MW2. They better fix this BS soon.

I've had it installed for a couple of days now, and everything is working perfectly. I've played ACII, GoW Collection, and watched several Blu-rays.

60gb, by the way.
