PlayStation 3′s 3.0 Firmware Upgrade Is Now Live

1:15PM September 1, 2009 | Dan Nosowitz

The PS3′s newest firmware upgrade, 3.0, is now officially going out to all the consoles in the land. Plus, it looks like it’s got a few more tidbits packed in than we previously thought.

Go to “System Update” in the XMB to get the update, which replaces the Information Board with an icon-based system called “What’s New”, plus premium themes, trophy displays and a status indicator at the top that shows things like number of friends online and messages. Check it out and let us know of anything else you find hidden in the update. [PlayStation Lifestyle]

    Does anyone know if this gives it Bravia Sync?

      I could be wrong, but I think the Bravia Sync feature is limited to the new PS3 Slim.

        Yeah it’s on the Slim, i’m just crossing my fingers that it will be in this firmware upgrade. As it allows control through HDMI cable (not like a universal remote sending multiple IR signals) i’m hoping we get it, fingers crossed!
