"Hi everyone, PlayStation 3 (PS3) firmware update (v3.00) adds a number of great new features that were excited to share with you. The latest update incorporates changes that improve navigation on your PS3. First, youll notice some cosmetic changes to the design of the XMB (Xross Media Bar). Weve enhanced the look and feel of the XMB so that its easier and even more intuitive to use. Weve also added network improvements and personalization options to help enhance your PS3 experience.
Additional highlights from update 3.00 include: * Whats New The Information Board will be replaced with a Whats New section, which allows you to enjoy interactive PlayStation news every time you start the PS3 system. Located under the PlayStation Network icon, Whats New displays the latest and greatest game, video, PlayStation Network and PlayStation news and releases, as well as your recently played games, in a sleek, new animated format. * Status Indicator In the top right corner weve added an indicator bar, which displays your user icon, friend icon, the number of friends you have online and a small message icon to let you know if you have any new messages. The indicator also includes a scrolling ticker that features the latest news from PlayStation Network. In addition, when you press the PS button, the battery life indicator will no longer cover up the clock. * Friends List Now your PlayStation Network friends will appear in a slightly redesigned format on your Friends List. Also, messages will now be viewable from each of your friends respective profiles. * PlayStation Store Shortcuts Weve added a handy shortcut icon to the PlayStation Store under both the Game and Video categories so you can access the latest content quickly and easily. * Personalization Personalize your PS3 with new dynamic custom themes and avatars. Dynamic themes as well as free and premium avatars will be available through PlayStation Store. A dynamic theme takes your screen to a whole new level as it incorporates animated objects into the background. * Trophies Showcasing your hard earned trophies just got better. Update 3.00 gives game developers the ability to modify how they display trophies for add-on content. Base and add-on game trophies will continue to be combined into a single list so you can see where you stand in a game as a whole. Within that list, trophies will be broken out into subcategories—base trophies and add-on trophies—that way, you can easily view the percentage of your base game trophy collection, and separately track your trophy progress in add-on packs. Look for this enhancement to be included in upcoming games."

I've just purchased a PS3 slim and I'm impressed.amazing console very reliable and there are awesome games to choose from no longer need to worry about 360 RROD.if MS were smart and kind enough to release a new reliable version of 360,I would stayed with 360.
my ps3 died after 3.00, luckily in norway we have 2 years waranty.. so i got new free. still what the hell!!? the xmb is getting more ugly for every firmware. friendslist after 3.00 is a joke, i mean the xmb looked so slick and nice at first, but now it looks messy, its too big, and ps store icons everywhere. they need to do a full makeover. and for gods sake hire some designers to do it, clearly theres noone there now...
