3.10, it seems, is all about Sony getting feedback on errors, whether that’s from users (in the event of a system lock-up) or developers. We’ve heard overnight that bugs that would have slipped through the net in previous firmwares are now highlighted in the latest system software, with Trophies being the main culprit of at least one anonymously reported lockdown. This, of course, is good news – it will hopefully result in less buggy releases and fewer day one patches.

On the flipside, then, as reported by PS3Attitude, is the way your PS3 will now ask you to send off an error report in the event of a crash. This is a cool new feature, and will presumably allow the technical bods at Sony to see exactly what’s causing the problems and work towards getting them fixed – they take minimal details from you too, so send off those error reports and everybody wins.  Don’t worry, they won’t tell anyone you were playing Terminator: Salvation.

  1. did one today nice feature


  2. “Don’t worry, they won’t tell anyone you were playing Terminator: Salvation.”

    Or looking at certain sites on the internets… lol

    I think this is great, you cant fix a problem if you dont know about it.


    • Actually, I’d imagine they would want to know about problematic sites.


      • oh.. erm.. er.. yeah, i was talking about erm.. google and stuff yeah thats it..
        lol


    • Porn sites undoubtedly get surfed on the PS3 and some of the major adult industry studios are keen to get their content on the PSN. It’s a highly lucrative industry and the likes of PSN/XBL are great transport mechanisms for such filth… for such media. :-)


  3. I’m going to be seeing a lot of this screen since I just updated my Fallout 3 to GOTY and have started playing through again.


  4. @ nofi: you mentioned the other day http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2009/11/17/firmware-3-10-its-official/

    that “There’s at least one hidden feature, too…”. Is this that feature, or is there something else?


  5. How do you know we’ve all been playing Terminator: Salvation?


    • easy plat for those trophy whores not that i am one lol


  6. This should have been in there from the beginning.
    Since the PS3 now runs with a proper OS, it needs to be handled like one. Error reporting is just one part of it, and Firefox is going to be the second part of it. MKV support might well be the last part of it (fingers crossed eh?).

    Anyway, this should help out Sony and all the PS3 devs quash those bugs as soon as is possible. Good work Sony.


  7. Who are you and what have you done with the real Nofi? You are obviously an imposter as you are being nice about Sony.


  8. Smart addition.

    All I would like now is an option to change back the font size.


    • Yeah, I was hoping this option would come with FW 3.10 too.


      • No need for MKV support, get a free program called PS3 media server installed on your PC and it streams it to your ps3 and also converts it. So your ps3 will instantly play MKV’s ISO, anything….. Its brilliant. and FREE!!!!!


  9. Mine crashed last night after installing 3.10 (I always get the 3 beeps and a reboot crash when exiting LBP) and I didn’t get this message.  So it’s not for all problems…


  10. Nice edition. I hope I don’t need to use it for a while though!! ;)


  11. Nice feature, is that the hidden feature you said there was?


    • couldn’t possibly say.


      • That’ll be a no then ;-)


  12. cool cool, is all good isnt it. now back to terminator salvation! 


  13. Since 3.10 I can’t sync my trophies… and therefore cannot change the colour of my profile box!


    • Me neither, gets to 6% and gives an error. It’s not like I’ve got millions of trophies either.


  14. That is really good!
    Fallout 3 would make this come up loads.
    But I like… now just get feedback on PSN users Sony ;)


  15. Good feature but what happens if an error occurs sending the error report? ;)
