Post: PS3 Owner Gets System Software Update Notification While PSN is Down
05-10-2011, 09:54 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The PlayStation Network has been offline for several weeks now and Sony have been reiterating that they’re trying their level best to get the PSN back online. Sony stated recently via a blog update that a PlayStation 3 firmware update will be released upon the PlayStation Network’s revival, and now it seems that one PS3 user has already got the firmware update notification whilst PSN is down.

A user on GAF posted the following images showing he received the firmware update notification whilst the PSN is down today (click on image to enlarge): The PS3 owner, DailyVacation, was asked to verify his current PlayStation 3 firmware version and he replied:

Still at 3.60. If you select yes, you get the message stating you already have the latest firmware. So it seems they’re activating it for certain locations? I’m gonna put up screenshot in a bit.

Could Sony be starting to finally bring back the PlayStation Network?

So all i where trying to say is, i tought the OFW's where also down (not downloadable) if the whole PSN System went offline..


What I am saying is you dont download the firmware from PSN, you down load it off the internet. When you click yes you want a upgrade it links you to the download link on the playstation website, its a direct download link.

im on rebug firmware and under system settings it says your on 3.60, but it will still have an update screen if you go update via internet. even if you do select to update, it says your on the latest software. this may be what happened
