Firmware 2.35 now available for download

[Hornet2112]

"I just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that a PS3 firmware update (v2.35) will be released shortly. This is a relatively minor update to improve stability of some PS3 titles."

No idea what those titles are yet. Go for it!

No idea what it is but it is downloading something.

Now on 2.35 but what is it?

 

[DisguisedCoot]

stability for some PS3 titles have been improved, i think its related to the GTA4 issues on mthe 60gig versions of the ps3

Japan site usually first to update I'll check to see if there's anything.

It just says "increased stability for some PS3 software". They often sneak other stuff into updates unannouced though so I guess it'll be a while before we figure out all the bits and bobs.

Not for GTA4 according to the US blog (post 3):

Touch wood, but I have a 60GB PS3 and GTA4. I've only had a couple of minor problems in like 15-25 hours of play, they are one freeze which I noticed the HDD light was flashing away left it for about 5-10 seconds and it continued on like normal. Also, when I was quitting the game it was saving and it appeared to stall, but it did not loose my settings next time I played. Either I'm really lucky with mine or something but like I said - touch wood it stays the same

I thought the next update was going to include in-game XMB.

 

[shaun1208]

In-game XMB is gonna be on the 2.4 'summer' update

 

[FrankieAD]

just hoping that in game xmb is in the 2.40 update,

There always seems to be an update for the PS3. I went to play COD4 yesterday and it needed a game update and 2.30 download... I go to play with a mate today and its a 2.35 update. Thats all fine and dandy if you have uber speed broadband but it takes over 3 hours for one update on my connection!
I admire sonys commitment to optimising their console but I wish they would just get it right and be done with it!

You obviously dont boot it up regularly, I think 2.3 came out about 3 weeks ago

It's better than not getting supported, don't you agree?

 

[C225]

Just did mine seemed to take a while for me on my 8meg to download usually takes 5 mins but this took at least 10 so america must be awake.

So any ideas on what this update is and what it brings?

Still at work

You could always downoad to a USB memory stick from the website. It always seems much quicker than doing it through the PS

As mentioned before it improves stability to a number of unnamed ps3 titles (not gta4).

I really wish sony would start issuing release notes with the updates...
