everytime there is an update I see people complain about this or that problem with the new update, I swear it must be psychological, because I always updated the instant, it's been available, and never had an issue...

It's the placebo effect.

I updated my PS3 a few hours ago and my 360 is having trouble reading a game disc.

Damn you PS3!

Bingo... My Ps3 has been pretty much for Blu Rays and the occasional DVD for a while now.

If I get the urge to go to the PSstore then yeah... I'll have to update.

it may have already been covered, but what the hell was the update for? I mean other than to waste my time

Add me to the list of people that had a lockup after installing 2.17

I was playing a game of CTF in Warhawk last night and it locked up tight. First time I've ever had a lockup since 12/06. Hopefully they get the next update out soon.

Wow, lofty expectations. WTF do you expect from an update that goes from 2.1 to 2.17? Obviously it was a relatively unimportant update. Wait for a bigger update, say to 2.3 or even 3.0 to get important features.

Don't look for either of those to be implemented in the PS3 until they're available in regular priced player.

The Profile 2.0 update has been ready for months.

[topdolla69]

two questions
1. what the hell did the update do, besides making my stranglehold games glitchy
2. what is profile 2.0?

For the likes of me I cant figure out were on that page that you are supposed to click on to get the update.....

There is no link that says something to the effect "Download Here"

Click 'Update using a PC »' at the bottom of the page then there's a 'Download Now' button under the picture guide.

only real problem I have with updates is that I never expect it..I fire up the ps3 just itching to play online and I can't until I update which usually takes half an hour at least.. also I really have no idea what 2.17 is about.

It took me 6min to dl and and installed in 2m. It was to fix game lag issues. Calm down people.

Those are all features included with 2.10.

i didn't say new...it just says revised features. so i'd assume, bug fixes of those features.

[richieb1971]

I've yet to get one of those DLNA 2103 errors on my PS3 since the update.
