We’ve been contacted by a TSA reader regarding some issues with PS3 firmware 3.70, and by searching the old Interweb it seems that he is by no means alone with his problem.
“Basically, since the release of Firmware 3.70 earlier last week which added new features for PlayStation Plus members, the ‘Auto Updates’ feature isn’t working. The console no longer updates game patches, finishes downloads you have pending, and more importantly, does not automatically upload save game files when you choose a game to have this enabled.
This was a new feature, but many of us can’t get it to work, and actually can’t get the entire ‘Automatic Updates’ feature to work anymore.”
This doesn’t seem to be happening to everyone, as some are reporting that their auto updates are working perfectly. Is anyone here having any problems or, more importantly, has anyone found a solution? As of yet calls to Sony customer support have had no success.
Thanks, Jay

Like frailfury says if you update your clock via internet then when you switch off the ps3 go to the users bit on XMB (far left) then go on turn off ps3/system it might work. Worked for me as I was turning it off via ps button on the controller. Have a go.
