[lilsonic11]

he does have a goog point

[MrMMABoy]

how do you change the colour in the backround cus i hate mine xD

[FrostfoxFTW]

@MrMMABoy The same place you change the theme of your PS3.

[abcdefgol992]

That afrika theme is too sick

[kdotmj]

way better than xbox live homepage

[GhettoBlaster332]

lol yes i have batman...

[Julian24151]

NHL 10 W00T haha, when i get my ps3 im going to add u

[ShallaMalla031]

The 3.0 is cool but it has some flaws like everythingin the world... Except Chuck Norris

[wafeldude]

they should allow an option for the old start up thingy. i like the old one betters o wellz :/

[sestrensaz]

Nice tip about the Afrika dynamic theme... I'll go nab that now ;)

[chilelocs]

if only we could play music and games at the same time

[FrostfoxFTW]

As of right now, only certain games allow that. I just use my iPod instead until they allow that.

It would be cool if a lion ran out and all the Zebra ran away. Then the lion could go away and the zebra would gradually come back.

[TerorisT88]

I don't actually like 3.0, because I bought a fake ps3 controller and it doesn't work with the new firmware (of course I'm even more mad that the controller is fake. How the Hell Sony can allowe something like this it's a perfect copy of the real controller with Sony printed on it ). And I don't like that PlayStation 3 logo doesn't pop up when I start a game that was classic.

[FrostfoxFTW]

Sucks about buying a fake. I do miss the logo and sound when I start a game too. Not sure why that had to go. If anything they could of changed it to the new logo and leave it alone.

[XtremeGamer4life]

Hey man, I noticed that you didn't set any pictures for your users. Its pretty cool, when I log in I have a picture of me next to my name and other pictures of people for other users, you just have the standard plain smiley face. btw that video you took was cool, do you live near the tapai 101?

[FrostfoxFTW]

I do have pictures, they just weren't loading fast enough. I can see the 101 from my house, but I wouldn't say I'm close.

[718Digital]

cool video man

i agree with the clock and buddy background PS Store statements you made

i need to hop on my PS3 and check this new stuff out

[ecstyles411]

FrostfoxFTW...Why must we bitch about minor things? I mean seriously. Anways, its pretty obvious why they decided to move a "portion" of the PS store under games, which is for easy access and I find it quite flexable. Another thing I like is the active background (Thank U sony!!). Now only we could go to other websites and download more active backgrouds (for free) that would be kewl. I'm sure this would be possible since we can download themes from third parties.

[FrostfoxFTW]

I can accept all the changes they made, and I'm not going to actively "bitch" about them, they were just my thoughts on the design. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

If they move the PS Store icon and its functions to where the old one is, I think it would work a lot better.

I have some bad news for you. As of right now, only game developers can make the dynamic background as it uses a Sony SDK to create. Which means there is little to no chance of letting the users create their own.

[ecstyles411]

I'm not sure if you heard of dreamscene, but its soming very simular to the dynamic background for the pc. Everyone use to think that "XMB themes" would only be develope by Sony. But now you could basicly google PS3 themes, and download them staright to your PS3. So i'm willing to bet in a couple of months (if not sooner) we will see users creating dynamic backgrounds for download.

[FrostfoxFTW]

I have heard of dreamscene because and it is pretty cool thing. I sure hope that users will be able to create the background, but I'm not holding my breathe.

[AtharvVij]

I love the update. The shiny particles the copying of the text and other lil things make ps3 pretty cool.

[SiIverGriever]

can u please tell me what is that japanese icon or something u have under your disc icon..

is it a game or what???

[FrostfoxFTW]

That is like a game/news programs. It is a daily updated news program where they advertise things around Japan. It's all in Japanese, and really confusing.

[planbsk8er195]

im one of your friends on psn

xXzero_4_lifeXx

[vicenteo09]

good vid. I have updated my ps3 yesterday and i love it :D!

[ps3kid15]

lol i had some of the same thoughts as well

[kcinkiller1]

they also added the faeture to dlete all chat rooms which is cool. I like it.

[FrostfoxFTW]

Thanks! There is also a feature to copy and paste messages, but maybe that was in other versions too, I just never used it.

[kcinkiller1]

It wasnt. I use chat rooms ALOT and was always frustrated that this feature was missing.

[nebtankproductions]

awesome!. I agreed with almost everything you said. i do agree that the silver name indicator should only be active if a friend is onlne.. and maybe a small trophy level thingy next to thier name... just ideas tho.

[ChimeranHelghast]

I love Zebras!!!

Awesome Intro

Fusion- FrostLeafLaughingFilms!!! lol

[chaosthunder101]

i think that they should of added trophy information in the grey background of each of your friends

[FrostfoxFTW]

Now that is an excellent idea.

[AlexanderArts]

I didn't have so many nit picks. I don't like the backgrounds behind your friends though - looks ugly.

I like the new clock section though.

[FrostfoxFTW]

Are you one of the people that need 2 clocks?

[AlexanderArts]

It is against my religion to read digital clocks after 2pm.

[JoshB2561]

I heard something about premium avatars!?

[speacialperson12345]

3:05 haha Swift Pro was online 1 minuteS.

[robo141x]

Well its still early so they can change a lot, personally i like the dynamic themes and bigger fonts, what they can do better would be to have a "PSN Card" when you look at your name on the friends list its just avatar, comment and what game your playing they should let you customise how that little card looks, purple with blue stripes for example GAME ON!!!

[CARLiNNiT]

In the UK we have a new column called 'TV' and there's a link to the BBC iPlayer, where you can watch all the latest TV shows on your PS3 if you missed them on TV or whatever. You get get it online on the PC too, and you could previously on the PS3, but it's kinda cool they gave us a shortcut to it. It's handy

[FrostfoxFTW]

I guess that would be nice to have. I tend to watch that kind of stuff on my PC anyways.

[SuperGamersShow]

it would be cool if any lions or cheetahs come and kill a couple animals in the background

[FrostfoxFTW]

They would have to make that an option. Don't want to scar kids before they have a chance to walk in on their parents making more babies.

[FrostfoxFilms]

First!

[keenanlfc]

I`am from ireland and my update give me bbc on demand! Basically a crappy tv channel on demand lol

[FrostfoxFTW]

Better than nothing, right?
