PS3 3.01...

[anthony87]

I know this issue with the 3.01 firmware has been around for awhile but I just wanted to double check with any PS3 owning Escapists. I haven't been able to sign into the PSN since September because I'm reluctant to update the firmware after everything I've heard but at this stage I'm starting to get a little impatient.

So, do any other Escapists own a 60GB PS3 from 2007? If so, has your console been affected by the 3.01 update?

 

[D-C-P]

Yes I do and no it hasn't

 

[Tartarga]

Mines been about the same as it always was.

 

[RanD00M]

Mine is up to date and nothing is wrong.Other then the fact that it cant play my copy of GH3.But that happened before 3.01.

Yes I do own a PS3, no that hasn't happened.
Stop being so superstitious about it and update the bloody thing.
Also what have you heard, and where have you heard it?

Nothing bad has happened to me at all. Get the update, deal with the issues if they come.

Well in his defence, a friend of mine had an error occur due to the last firmware update. It's nothing drastic, he should have had the BBC iPlayer added in the TV tab but didn't.
Mine updated just fine though.

I know I'm proabably worring about nothing but I only got my PS3 working again in Augest after six months of it being broken, plus it plays every one of my PS1 and PS2 games no problem so I'd like to avoid any problems if possible.

As for what I've heard and where I've heard it, I was reading on the US Playstation blog that there have been people who've had their consoles stop reading blu-rays and DVDs all together.

As far as I remember (PLEASE CORRECT IF I AM WRONG), there were massive issues with Firmware 3.0, which was around a good while and people complained about. Later we got 3.0.1 which I got instantly as I got my PS3 3 weeks back and so far I got no problems at all. The only thing I noticed is an occasional, very short lag of maybe 0.1-0.2 seconds in GTA4 and I believe that has little to do with the firmware. So in my book (as a noob) it looks safe to me.

Im not shure how many GB PS3 I've got, but I've got the latest update and mine works perfectly. Is it only the 60GB ones that are affected?

 

[Remleiz]

my 320gb PS3 is completly fine

 

[metalmmaniac]

i have the 60gb and totally up to date. i've had no issues...

what are the supposed issues?

 

[IamQ]

All the issues that were, are fixed.

I updated my PS3 once the patch came out, and I didn't have any problems at all actually.

I have an Xbox, I have very little to contribute
But all the problems should be fine by now
