Ah! USB update for the Xbox today? Forgot about that, my daughters going to be stoked.

It always seems that no matter what system gets an update people moan about machines being bricked.

I bet half of it is fanboy bullshit.]]>Apr 6th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/

Updated my PS3 and all of a sudden out of my 15 PS3 games, the only ones that would load were GTA IV and FFXIII. But my PS3 was messing up a little before the update. GoWIII kept freezing up on me during the game. All I did was open up the system, airdusted it out and when I closed it back up, all games loaded again...sadly GoWIII will still freeze up on me from time to time.]]>Apr 6th 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/

The only way I can resolve it (and it still seems random) is if I go to my PS3 network settings and test the connection. Usually after that is successful I can connect, but then it won't connect when I try to play Battlefield Bad Company 2]]>Apr 6th 2010 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/

The previous PS3 update caused mine to have power on/off problems, then Sony quietly slipped out an updated update -- and things were fine again, without Sony ever admitting a problem. I'm betting that will happen here.

But I'll never know because I'm not updating and losing my "Other OS" option.]]>Apr 6th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/Apr 6th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/I updated and it's runs beautifully considering COD MW2 has been running for 10 hours straight and then on and off since the update.

Considering they dont have any CFW up at all, you might be waiting for a long time. Then they have to get the CFW to work with PSN and Blu-rays. Don't hold your breath for Geohot. The iPhone is not the PS3. ]]>Apr 6th 2010 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/Even after having Linux on mine.

Two stories that will always be found on Engadget:

"The Apple Store is Down"
"PS3 Firmware Update Problems"

The second story almost always includes the "there doesn't seem to be any consistency to the issues we're hearing about, and apparently there isn't a large enough number of people affected to warrant an official response from Sony" line, nevertheless, it is reported as diligently as an Apple store outage.]]>Apr 6th 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/
yeah but apparently its a hardware issue.

If they posted about iPad problems, they'd have to give back the shill money the earned posting 10 articles about apps in less than a week.

I've actually enjoyed the iPad coverage, but that many articles about nothing but apps just screams, "Look how cool this is, you should totally buy one."]]>Apr 6th 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/I already posted this WiFi news, in the post ipad vs joojoo, but seems like Engadget staff didnt want to have this news as BREAKING in a yellow ribbon at front page, dont know why, Isnt this news REALLY BREAKING, I thought the iPad was perfect isnt it??]]>Apr 6th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/06/ps3-firmware-3-21-locking-out-more-than-just-other-operating-sys/
Too bad nobody gives a rat's ass about your Ipad wifi posts.

especially not in a PS3 article.
