It has to be under the following folder structure:

pc_update_clip_diagram_US.jpg


Folder names have to be capitalized and the file name has to be “PS3UPDAT.PUP”.

Okay I want people to know exactly when I download a demo for PSP. That way when I talk to my old college friends they know that I'm failing at life. Thanks Sony!!
Click to expand...

They won't know if you don't turn it on?

Seriously, how can people complain about something they must activate for use. Don't tell me the PSN monkey is pointing a gun at your head forcing you to enter your FB account info?

Downloading PSP update too. Media Go didn't detect the update but the PSP did.

My download/installation was pretty fast but then again it seems I was one of the first few people that noticed the update was up. Servers are probably being smashed right now.

I changed my tab to orange, I think it looks cool :D
Oh, and I can't really noticed what they changed in the photo section...looks exactly the same to me.

What? For photos stored on the PS3, it shows as a grid instead of a list. I would think that is immediately noticeable.

Just 2 folders right?

Make a PS3 folder then put it in a UPDATE folder?
Click to expand...
PS3 folder up top, UPDATE folder inside the PS3 folder, actual firmware goes inside the UPDATE folder.

mmm maybe I should go back and check, I do have a bunch of pics stored in the PS3 and didn't see any changes but then again I rarely spend time in the photo section

Man, Sony needs to get the word out more (or maybe my friends are dumbasses) but half of my friends list has asked me where the facebook app. is and how to change the color of their gamer card-thing. :lol I don't have a problem telling them, but is that just because 1) it's updating at night at a weird time, so it kinda sprang on people, 2) Sony just doesn't get out the word of this stuff well enough, or 3) these people just don't read any news? I guess it might be a combination of all three since most of these guys are the "I play Call of Duty, and I kick ass, and I know everything about games!" without really knowing much. Oh, and the color stuff is cool, facebook stuff is...eh, cool idea, but now it's time to annoy my family with updates like they did to me with Farmville stuff! (and yes, I know you can block that shit :p), and I like the way the photos are setup now.

I dont know why every time I turn my PS3 on it says

"The previous operation was canceled. The system is attempting to install again. Do not turn off the system" etc

Than get notice that an error occurred during the operation WTF. I cant even get to the main screen to cancel the installation. What do I do?

Yeah, I could definitely see how your "Average Joe Gamer" would never be able to find the Facebook stuff--it's not exactly out in the open on the XMB. Guess Sony is fine with just relying on word-of-mouth instructions.

Sounds like you might have bricked it : (

Try going into the diagnostics menu (Flip the rocker in the back off then on, hold the power sensor till the system beeps three times, let go of it, then hold it again for three beeps) and reinstall the firmware.

It downloaded pretty fast here. Its about six twenty in the morning here. As its still installing, I'm kinda worried that iplayer might not have a dedicated icon. :(
will update asap... So iplayer is gone from the tv menu for real. :-(

Psn monkey fix this shit.

ps. I see the facebook icon under account management, but nothing there as to how to connect your psn account with facebook. Should that facility not be there?

Except it isn't a region block or region coding. They're REGION FREE BLU-RAYS.

Just to clarify for the people that aren't aware of the issue ... it isn't that Sony is actively stopping region-free discs from working (many do) ... the issue is how NTSC PS3's handle PAL (25/50Hz) content.

I didnt think that was an issue anymore with hd.

It isn't with HD content, that's fine. Many blu-rays still have content encoded in SD, such as extras and trailers. Now, I don't know what exactly is encoded in PAL that's preventing discs from playing at all, I assume it's a studio logo or the Interpol warning or something else that's not skippable that's encoded in PAL.

It shouldn't be, except that some studios are stupid.


For example, a number of BBC releases are broken. The issue is that they put PAL content on as part of the initial warnings/trailers/loading screens that aren't skippable. Way back when, the PS3 would see that it can't display it ... and skip to the next 'track'. That would either be more trailers or in most cases the main menu.


A previous update (this was a while back), completely fubar'd things. Not only would the above issue occur, but if you selected any 'extras' from a disc that happened to be in PAL, the BluRay would freeze, and eventually crash out to the XMB. They later fixed that specific problem (if you actively select PAL content, it will do nothing for a few seconds, then gracefully return you to the menu you were at) ... but never corrected the issue for PAL on start-up.

The most stupid thing being that a NTSC/UC PS3 can handle a PAL signal just fine and convert to NTSC when necessary. SO. STUPID.

I sort of grew to preferring the uniformity of the old look. In this new version I find the white outlines around the userpics to be distracting.

The new method for viewing pictures is cool, though.

It can? While frame conversion isn't particularly difficult to implement (though looks kind of assy), I wasn't aware of anything demonstrating they had implemented it?

It has a PAL <-> NTSC chip. It can fully convert a straight .VOB file from one of my ripped PAL DVDs and I confirmed it was running 480p at the time. I even managed to get it to do 480i from that. Full colours and the whole bit.

PS: Just got word that I am famous outside of GAF for this issue. Tee hee.

Really ... interesting. Hadn't tried any PAL DVD's.

Note, this is from memory card/stick/usb. If you put in a region free PAL DVD it says "Cannot display PAL broadcast", but a completely unaltered .VOB file runs just fine.

Wow, I did a similar thing with a PAL DVD .VOB rip (Star Wrek: The Pirkinning), but I assumed it was ps3mediaserver that was doing the conversion.
