The PlayStation 3 (often abbreviated PS3) is the third home video game console created and released by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
Firmware 3.00 is up!
Finally finished, at quick glance loving the bigger text. But wheres my new avatars at? I was psyched to finally get something new instead of the same lame as pics that have been there since launch but theres nothing. And they didn't even add the avatar section to the store either.

I like the new opening screen, but SPARKLES? Really? They look ridiculous and tacked on. The new friends status on the top right is great; however, I think the new friends list looks awful. Bland gray? It reminds me of the old Account Management page from 2006.

yeah I hate the new friends lists, Maybe it will change with new themes. And the font is WAY To big, I am not blind sony!" I like the new opening screen, but SPARKLES? Really?

" @Bucketdeth: I'd give up staying home updating my PS3's firmware for a vacation any day of the week. "Hmmm I actually missused the word "vacation"
Lets just say I'm away from home and I don't get to play my PS3 for about 2 weeks, which isn't horrible but I do miss playing a game every now and then.
I watched the announcement video but thats not how they made it sound. They made it seem like we were going to get new free avatars and then there would be pay ones. Either way that bites, I'd like some free avatars because I have to make all PS Store purchases with prepaid cards because for some reason it won't accept my credit card. So I just can' make small purchases like that, it has to justify the purchase of a $20 card. Now if I wanted an avatar just like if i wanted a premium theme it has to be fitted into a larger purchase.
I like all the icons and stuff but I I'm not feeling the sparkles. Good thing i can turn them off in system settings.

Hey, an arbitrary numbering of a free update is REALLY important." @Lashe said:
" Okay so they made... sparkles? And the font's bigger? And when I play with my right stick the video moves?awwww. someone needs a hug? "
This is worthy of stepping up as 3.0? Fuck you, Sony. Fuck you right in the eye. "

The status bar is a neat addition, but that really should have been there from day 1. -sigh-. Almost tempted to try put a PS2 game in just in hope that there's been some sneaky addition of BC because otherwise, this has been a major disappointment.
Of course the best reason to have this firmware is it fixes the annoying battery meter over the clock! I have all but stopped playing my PS3 because of this! *sarcastic grin & cackling implied liberally*
" Okay so they made... sparkles? And the font's bigger? And when I play with my right stick the video moves?Perhaps getting a bit angry there, but the choice to make it 3.0. was clearly just to make it sound like a bigger update. I do like some of the changes, but meh, what more can really be said about this? I don't pay money for themes or avatars on XBL, I'm certainly not going to here.

" Of course the best reason to have this firmware is it fixes the annoying battery meter over the clock! I"that was a big error, everytime I saw it I just thought the dudes at Sony were retarded.
" The new LittleBigPlanet theme is also on the PS Store. It kicks ass. It costs $2.99, however. "$3.00? Fuck it.
