Sony is set to release a new firmware update for both the PlayStation 3 and PSP "shortly". According to Eric Lempel, VP, Network Operations Americas, the upcoming PS3 firmware update 3.41 will add a new PlayStation Store recommendations features for games and videos, while the PSP firmware update will further improve the stability some titles:

"Hi everyone, the next PlayStation 3 (PS3) system software update is coming soon. Firmware update 3.41 will add recommendations for games and videos on PlayStation Store. When you’re browsing through the details of a particular title, you’ll see a new “You May Like” section on the right-hand side. This section lists additional items based on the purchases of other PlayStation Network members who have purchased the item you’re currently looking at."

"This feature is a great way to discover new games that you may not know about, and it’s another step toward making the shopping experience easier and better for you all — similar to the five-star ratings feature we added in the last firmware update. Please note that while the 3.41 update will be released shortly, the recommendations feature on PlayStation Store is slated to go live by the end of July."

"In addition to this PS3 update, the next PSP (PlayStation Portable) firmware update (v.6.31) will be coming as well. This is a minor update, and system software stability during use of some PSP format software titles has been improved."

So there you have it folks. Stay tune for the update.

PSP just keep getting the worst updates more so than ever. Can they at least tell us what software the software stability update improves?? Is that too much to ask?

# dont be such a dumbass — fearlubu 2010-07-26 23:25

im guessing theyre not really stability improvements, but another update to temporarily halt the hackers.....only temporarily.....

# useless — elhomerjas 2010-07-26 23:47

what a useless update i see no reason to update my PS3 and PSP

# RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — gbwhitney 2010-07-27 00:08

its out for ps3 now. i didnt download yet tho.

# RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — RiceKrispy 2010-07-27 00:17

On the psp firemware, I hope they improved psx gameplay because I'm getting some serious lag on FF9 in forest battles and some magic spells.

# RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — Grim_Reaper-X 2010-07-27 00:25

Well that was a waste of my time....not really know how this is gona help me in anyway...but whatever...still worst update ever...

+6 # in other words — FreePlay 2010-07-27 00:31

"we patched an exploit on the PSP."

+4 # .. — JETFIRE007 2010-07-27 01:33

Wouldn't be surprised to see on the terms & serv.

Changes(1):
-Patched Exploit

-2 # Are you stupid?!! — SaDuWoOFFLINE 2010-07-27 01:35

What does the changes that an update provide have to do with the terms of service? The terms of service agreement is the agreement you accept by the ACT of updating. It has nothing to do with the content of the update itself. >_

+1 # RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — Techni 2010-07-27 00:41

How about they start adding features people actually ask for. It's like they're completely ignoring the site they set up to get ideas from us.

+3 # Just my opinion but... — Cynthia 2010-07-27 00:49

Or maybe they're just harvesting ideas for future incentives to upgrade. As in when another stalemate happens (between HB coders and Sony), Sony will come out with a firmware update adding something many people suggested/requested, along with a revised kernal w/ greater security or something similar

This is a perpetual game of chess, where Sony will always wait for the HB coders to claim "Check", before doing anything

Something must have spooked them to go to 6.31 so soon after the outed UMD exploits

+2 # RE: Just my opinion but... — Techni 2010-07-27 04:50

I hate that you're probably right...

# RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — Konata Izumi 2010-07-27 00:51

Update is now available, I'm trying to sync my trophy.

+1 # It's here... — |Drifter| 2010-07-27 00:56

At least for the ps3 anyhow.

# Update — XxxBROLYxxX 2010-07-27 01:18

Is up!!!

# RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — Fenrir 2010-07-27 05:00

I just recently submitted a blogshare idea to them to remove share lol its obvious they do not pay attention to what folks are asking for, so far at least from what I can see out of the 1000's of ideas they have not implemented one.

I have yet to look at the top 10 in the store or the staff picks so I highly doubt that PS recommends will be of any use too me. If they really want to make things worth while they should focus on stability and features that actually add value to the system and give customers new and old a reason to turn the thing on.

As nice as PSN is Live kicks its ass in terms of features, paid and unpaid. Sony is not as much about innovation as they are making the $$$ if they were MS would have a hard time competing with them. What better way to make the $$$ than with an update disguised as something useful for users to spend their cash. Like PS+ "We promised you the moon, heres a photo of it"

On the PSP side of things I don't think we are going to see much for it anymore, with PSP2 in development its only a matter of time before they stop supporting the older gen PSP models. I am surprised it has managed to make it this far in its lifetime.

-1 # PSP 2? WRONG. — Karf 2010-07-27 23:19

Hehe you make me laugh. You actually believe that the PSP 2 is in development? Well, first of all, that roumor started around may 2009. When was PSP Go released? November 2009. And still, people think it´s still in development. SIGHS. Man, they´r are a lot of DUMD people in this world.
I have PSP GO. IT´s AWEOMSE! WAY better than the other PSP versions. People say taht if you drop it once, it breaks. Well, i have droped it 12 times, from aout a meter, and it´s running PERFECT. So you guys better clear your minds up, cuz The PSP 2 roumor is just something some guy started. And belive me, I know, cuz I have done it myself. IN school, not the internet. So people, use your brains... Use´em. A lot.

+1 # humm another update for me to not care about — lunas 2010-07-27 05:03

im still on 5.00

# agree — ferret7463 2010-07-27 14:56

I am still using M33 3.90 because all i bought the PSP for was for emulation abilities. The actual games for the PSP sucks A$$. I used to like SONY til they started acting like they still own the device i bought. The next generation of hand helds i will be with nintendo. Also with the
" “You May Like” section on the right-hand side. This section lists additional items based on the purchases of other PlayStation Network members who have purchased the item you’re currently looking at."
Hum does this sound like all it is an sales hitch? really is it that bad for you SONY?

# how about.... — Gene Ween 2010-07-27 05:42

how about the firmware update to 3D blu-Ray sony. stop the stalling an release it already. I don't care about staff picks... neither do most people.

# RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — Walo 2010-07-27 08:54

This PS3 update should've been optional, there's nothing(known) there to warrant it as mandatory.

-1 # RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — NakedFaerie 2010-07-27 09:31

And the new stuff is?

Another 2 useless updates from $ony.

# RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — QJV 2010-07-27 10:06

Was hoping that Sony would re-add OtherOS to PS3 again, but that's an unfortunate thought.

A bit pointless this update but it's nice having recommendations .

+1 # RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — aperson2 2010-07-27 11:12

Stability improvements for PSP?

In what games? I have never found my PSP "unstable". Its never crashed no matter what UMD, PS1 or any other kind of download.

I wonder what its really for?

# RE RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — tloyd11 2010-07-27 11:32

To be a dickbag to anyone who uses custom firmware and to probably break the psn access we have with psnlover

+1 # RE: RE RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — aperson2 2010-07-27 15:39

Ah right. I don't care for hacked firmwares, I gave up on mine when Peacewalker was out and didn't want to wait for a patch. Lost emulation but at least I don't worry over firmware updates anymore.

# RE: RE: Sony: PS3 and PSP firmware update coming soon — Asskickulater2 2010-07-27 12:18

exploit patch duh

# Update ... — inF4MOUS 2010-07-27 17:16

WTF Sony .. another useless update
I'm pretty sure they patched an exploit somewhere

+1 # grreat. locked out again — lusid 2010-07-27 23:47

Every time I go on a trip they update the PS3 firmware, and I'm locked out of remoteplay until I get home.

Why can't I at least install the update over remoteplay?

Then, every time a new firmware update is installed they disable remote start. So even if I could install the update remotely I would be locked out after the reboot.

WFT.
