update features (ver 3.61)
main bulletpoints:
After you update to version 3.61, you will be required to change your account password the first time you sign in to PlayStation Network. Please change the passwords for all of your PlayStation Network accounts. Visit eu.playstation.com/ps3psn for further details.
Note:
*When you change your password, an email message may be sent to the email address registered with PlayStation Network (your sign-in ID). If you cannot receive messages at your registered email address, you will not be able to change your password.
*If you cannot receive messages at the email address you have registered as your sign-in ID, prepare an email address that you can use to receive messages and contact us at uk.playstation.com/contact before you attempt to change your password.
*Depending on your country/region of residence and the network environment you are using, you may not be able to change your PlayStation Network account password or make use of PlayStation Network services for some time after updating your PS3 system software.
*The ability to change PlayStation Network account passwords and use PlayStation Network services – except for PlayStation Store – will be made available in all regions within a few days.

Apparently Sony don’t need to rest at all, very surprised that they’re doing this on a weekend.

To be fair, it doesn’t seem to be online anywhere in the US yet either, seems like the European blog is just behind, as they often are. Well, I guess that’s the case since the US press release says the PSN will be going live first in the US and Europe.
