Sony PS3 v3.10 Update: Do you have any problems?
Filed under: Gaming, Sony Playstation 3
If you didnt know by now, the Playstation 3 has just been updated to firmware version 3.10, adding features in the way of XMB Facebook support, Tweaked Friends lists, European Video Store and much more.
Considering the long list of problems that occured for some of our readers in firmware update 3.01, we would like to know if anyone is experiencing any problems after the update.
We ask this, as we have had requests from our readers asking if the new update has solved the disc reading errors that a lot of you were reporting after 3.01, so how is everything looking for you?
As far as we know, this is still an isolated case which is only affecting a few of you, but we still thought we’d ask you for your feedback following the new update.
Leave us a comment below if you have noticed any problems after installing the new update.

I updated this morning. Jumped online with MW2. No issues.
having problems connecting to online gameplay after i updated. any1 else having this problem?
forgot to mention im playing cod4 modern warfare
i`m having Bluetooth issues since update 3.10. neither of my Dualshock 3 controllers will connect via bluetooth , only via the cable ? Can`t get my official Ps3 controller to work either ? All worked fine until this recent update. (Ps3 slim)
YER HAD THIS VERY PROBLEM RIGHT NOW…I SWITCHED IT OFF ABOUT 4 TIMES…AND THEN I CONNECTED THEM WITH THE CONTROLLERS AND RANDOMLY IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN…
FOUND IT WEIRD, AND THOUGHT MY PS3 WAS ABOUT TO DIE ON ME
Ditto. I’ve had my PS3 slim for just over a month, never had an issue before. Now after the 3.10 update, both of my controllers are having issues connecting with bluetooth. If I restart a couple of times and screw around with them, I can manage to connect and play without issue. But I just updated the night before last and have already had this connection issue pop up twice.
I am haveing some problems with the new 3.10 update: the BBC Iplayer link has gone, the console will not find any external divices such as my ps3 compatible external hard drive, and mp3 player which was fine befor 3.10 also typing comments on facebook through the ps3 only works some times. a fiew mins ago i turn on my ps3 and the only thing that was there was the interactive background NO icons, i waited a fiew mins and then it came back but thats never happend before. saying that the update has got some nice features that are very good. thanks for reading
Sooooo, I updated and no problems yet, but where is the facebook integration it was talking about?
Mine wont play discs. When it does 1 out of ten times. I get one game of Modern Warfare2 and it freezes on the stats page at the end of multiplayer. It never did this until last night when I updated. After a hard reset it wont even show the disc icon. I hate sony with their stupid required updates. Why do I need facebook and photo album BS on my gaming system?? If anyone else is having problems please post so maybe sony will fix this crap.
Having same problem of not recognizing any Bluray movies or games after updating to 3.10. Tried a regular dvd movie and worked fine, but after restarting, restoring original settings, etc. still won’t recognize bluray discs. HELP!!!
I’ve got exactly the same on mine ATM!
Any ideas guys???
I’m totally there. After updating to 3.10 (don’t know what version I was running before) my system is now a very expensive DVD player. No PS3 games, no blu-ray. I was running the Netflix instant streaming disk too, I wonder if that is a factor somehow? Anyway, the full reformat didn’t work at all, and according to Sony, the only fix is to send it in and pay them $149 for a used refurb.
SAME DAMN PROBLEM! I updated to the 3.10 version and during a game of MW2 (when viewing the online scores at the end of a match) my PS3 completely froze. I had no option but to switch if off at the back. Nothing else would work to shut it down. I restarted it and it wouldn’t play any games or blueray movies. Actually it doesnt even read what I put in it. I never get a disk indicator to pop up, the circle in the top right hand corner just keeps spinning but never reads anything.
I haven’t tried a DVD but I never use those anyway! Im so mad because it is 1 month out of warranty and Playstation wants to charge me $150 to get if fixed. I think this is BULL S***. If Sony’s update is what is disabling the blue ray drives in so many people’s systems why wont they step up and fix them free of charge! Thats some corrupt BS.
My son just downloaded 3.01 update on Sony PS3 slim now it is inoperable. He cannot get a picture at all. I read where there were issues with this update. It is still under manufacturers warranty and could be shipped back for a new one. Anyone else have this problem? Is there any kind of fix or just send it back? This is frustrating since it is only 2 weeks old and ran perfect before he did this. It is a SATA drive (120 GB 5400 rpm) so maybe replacing this would possibly get the system back in working order? I am for sending it back since it is under warranty. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
i am having the same problems as craig. i updated to 3.10 last night and today the ps3’s drive sounds funny now. it will load the game(any) but i cant get it to play. i try to quit the game and it seems to freeze for 10 minutes while it figures out what to do or bring up a blank screen and do nothing. everything was fine before the update, please fix it soon
WARNING ANELP NEEDED
I updated my PS3 to software 3.10 last night. This morning I tried turning on PS3 and it seems to have messed up. I always have it plugged into same tv and it worked before.
PROBLEMS:
TV screen stays blue even when ps3 sitched on
PS3 usb ports are NOT not working
PS3 wont turn off by holding power on system or controller
Ocasionally the PS3 did register ports and :work: on TV but the TV was completly pixelated. Could read writing but no background and controllers wouldnt work to select the yes or no option.
When holding in PS on controller it didnt bring up that screen either.
This software update 3.10 really does seem to have killed my PS3. It was working perfect…..
