The focus of this update is Netflix, but there are some other features.

This is good stuff, sir. Thank you for posting it. I don't have a netflix account, but I might just go back because of this.

Thanks Sony, you just fking owned me. I backed up my hdd so I can transfer everything to a ssd and now my PS3 won't boot up because I need to update to 3.50 first. I hope this doesn't mean I need to re-backup all my files again

This is weird, I put in my hdd and it says I already have 3.50. I guess I'm doing the whole back up thing wrong.

Edit2* - Fixed it. Didn't know I had to install the firmware on a new drive before I can use it.

I'll run the update and take care of that at the same time! Should take about two minutes. Multitasking at it's finest!

I have not ran an update since they took away the Linux option.

Nice to see Netflix finally integrated on XMB.

I went through like 3 instant streaming discs one time before they finally sent me one that worked.

You don't have to worry about all this silly BS with the X-Box 360.

True dat.

Downloaded Netflix last night on my PS3, seemed the same as the Xbox one.. simple to install and download though.

X-Box 360 is the dominate platform of this generation.

good news for me i prefer playing games on my 360 but do not have the time, patience nor the skill to play online really.

i bought a year of xbl last year as some friends on my bball team wanted to start an online madden team but 4 of them got busted for modded xboxes so the xbl was pretty pointless for me outside of the netflix.

my xbl expired last week so at least i can use the ps3 one to stream movies and tv now. i tried the disc but thought it was a pain.

X-Box 360 has better games than the PS3.
