April the 1st saw the release of an official system update for the PlayStation 3, an update which has landed Sony in hot water with one disgruntled customer. The update – v3.21 disabled the ‘install other OS’ facility which basically blocked the ability to install the Linux OS on any PS3, although this feature was available on all but the ‘slim’ versions of the PlayStation 3 prior to the update.

It appears some new alterations are soon to be made to the PlayStation 3’s XMB in the next firmware update. You can update your Facebook account through your PlayStation Network account, change the colour of your gamer profile to fit your mood, and apparently there will be a more efficient way of looking at your photos.

It’s nothing too exciting but a push in the right direction I think.
