If you turned on your PS3 today, you would be encouraged to download the latest firmware 3.61. This new software has been released in preparation for the rebirth of PSN, which has just gone back online in the UK, after the US went online earlier yesterday. Other European countries are expected to follow shortly, as Sony rolls the service out across the world.
When users turn on their consoles, they are encouraged to create a new password on the machine they created their ID on. If you’ve swapped your old PS3 for the slim edition then you need to change your password via a Sony website. More details are available via the PlayStation Blog. Finally PS3 users will get to scratch that COD itch that has been plaguing them for over three weeks now.
About bloody time too.
