Another update? It didn't tell me yesterday when I was on that there was one. Did it just come out today?

In other news, Hulu is no longer availabe to view on the PS3 browser thanks to a TOS change.

Me neither. I usually see them before somebody posts here.

No. It came out a few days ago. I had to go and check through the update option. Don't know why it wasn't automatic.

 

[Zookster]

I guess I should do likewise. I've been playing a lot the last few days and not a single prompt that a new update is available.

 

[lakebum431]

Also been playing a decent amount and haven't been promted to update. I'll check for it tonight when I get home.

Wish they could do something to reduce the fan noise. Love the PS3 for playing games, but the fan noise makes me wish I had a stand alone BR player for movies.

 

[DodgerKing]

Mine is not loud at all. In fact, I have yet to notice any fan noise.

 

[lakebum431]

Fan noise not a problem here either. I keep mine in an open shelved cabinet and can't hear it at all.

 

[Zookster]

I hear it quite a bit with my 40Gb; fan noise depends on a few things, including SKU, ventilation-room temperature, what it's being used for (usually louder for upconverting and game playing).

 

[Ramy]

Mine never did say I had to download it. I went and looked for it and forced the download.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Same here.

 

[lakebum431]

Finally forced the download last night (I had forgotten about it).
