Sony Demolishes PlayStation Network, Firmware v4.10 Now Live

Posted on Tuesday, February 7 @ 19:07:30 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

You want change? You got change! Sony has just released a new firmware update for the PlayStation 3 and they aren't in a mood for messing around!

Firmware update 4.10 is now LIVE and there are several changes you should be aware of. For one, there is no more PlayStation Network. Now before you throw up your arms and scream like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, it isn't that there is no more online service for PlayStation, but rather that it's been renamed. As you might have heard during the week, the PlayStation Network has been renamed to Sony Entertainment Network. While it currently is only a change of name and image, this could mean a lot of things for the future of online services on PlayStation hardware. As we saw with the Vita, Sony isn't exactly sticking with the XrossMediaBar forever, and there are plenty of reasons to evolve to today's standards.

Thankfully, the name change isn't the only thing included in PlayStation 3's v4.10 update, which I might add is 180MB large (sorry to those of you still using a 20GB hard drive). The internet browser on your PlayStation devices has received some TLC. Not only is it more stable, but it also supports websites that in the past would fail during query.

So what are you waiting for? Turn your sleek and sexy PlayStation 3 on and start downloading! It'll probably take you all night since everyone is downloading it, so prepare some coffee while you're at it.

    Wow I wish they had made their interface and online service not suck back when this console generation was still relevant, or I might have had a PS3 right now.

    It's better to download the update on your PC and just do it through a flash drive. Much, much faster.

    It still shows up as PSN. Maybe there's a misunderstanding here, and the PlayStation Network is now simply part of the Sony Entertainment Network.

    I spoke to a Sony rep about this. The PSN logo stays, but it's Sony Entertainment Network now. At least that's what I was made to understand. Sony may not even know for sure.

    I imagine the conversation:
    Anthony: So... could you tell me what's going on with the new SEN looking the same as the old PSN?
    Sony: 知っている人、私は以下の本当に気にしない !!

    Every time i turn my PS3 on i have to sit and wait three hours for an update. Its going to be an amazing thing when i can just turn the damn thing on...play some games and not worry about this constant shifting. Wii doesnt do this as often (( to admit...i dont use the damn thing much )) and Xbox plans these huge shifts well ahead of time to allow for a once or twice a year update. I heart container the new consoles that are out on the market but these downtimes and loading scenarios i ALWAYS seem to have to go through with my PS3 keeps it shut off.
