Stupid Question. Do I need to update to 3.01 to play Tekken or God of war collection?

[AutomaticDriver]

I have not updated to 3.01 because of all the problems that people have said they had after updating.I really wanted to buy God of war collection tomorrow and I just wanted to know if I had to update to 3.01 to be able to play the game. Also has there been any games that have been released in the past month that you have to update yur system to 3.01

if you want to play Tekken online then yes. I wouldn't think you would need to for God of War. If your ps3 isn't up to date it just wont log into to PSN.

Yes. However, 3.10 should be out soon, if it makes you feel any better.

Not true 3.01 wasn't a mandatory update(though fixed the freezing in Uncharted) but it doesn't ask you to update when signing on only the 3.00 did that but 3.01 didn't. So if he's running at 3.00 then he can still sign on anytime.

Just to make sure everybody understands that it doesnt matter about me connecting to PSN I just care about being able to play ps3 games even if that means not playing online. thats why i was seeing if I had to update to 3.01 just to play offline.

When you pop in your game, it will tell you if it needs an update or not and it'll update the firmware from the disc rather than having to download it.

God of War collection maybe but it's not even out yet so can't say for certain but Tekken probably not unless doing it online then maybe.

The problems with the update are only on some people but most people don't have any problems with the update like myself.

3.00 had issues NOT 3.01

I'm not aware of any issues with firmware 3.00. Uncharted 1 had some weird freezing issues with 3.00 but that's what 3.01 corrected...
