PS3 Version 3.0 Update
Well, when I went to log into my PSN account the other day it said that version 3.0 is out and its time to update. I got a little excited as the description for the update said some updates to the XMB design. Well, after I downloaded and installed the update i was surprised. They changed the start-up text from Sony Computer Entertainment, to the new PS3 logo found on the PS3 Slims. The background also has these little "flurrie" things flying around as well... Pretty cool. Now a PlayStation Store icon has been added to the Game and Video section for quick access to that type of content on the PS Store. Also new in the PSN section of the XMB is the What's New app. This basiclly shows whats new in the PlayStation World, such as games, and hardware and you most recently ran games and apps.
Some pictures i took of my PS3 when i hooked it upto my computer via it's TV Turner. So these pictures wont be in full 1080i HD like I normally have it... but this works! =D

As you can see their are some other updates to make it a little nicer. Such as the upper right-hand corner, they got rid of the Information Feed, and combined it in a box with how many friends are on, if you have any messages, the time, and date.
Thanks for reading! =D

PS3 Firmware 2.70 Update
So when i turned on my PS3 today it said an update was needed. So I did.
This update includes a copy and paste feature, which is really quite nice.
Also you can highlight a game and press triangle and search the web more on this game.
And chatting while playing in game.
Their is also more to this update, but those are some of big installments of this firmware upgrade.
Now Sony, we just need Home to get even more upgrades.
