While the scene looked forward to his Ps3 said CFW 3.61, Sony gives us today the new official firmware 3.65.

Although the 3.61 OFW has not yet passed its first month of life on the official servers of PlayStation Network, it has just left to his successor, the firmware 3.65. The new version does not have much to console in terms of functionality, but rather is supposed to "improve system stability" according to the manufacturer.

Quote:

Discover the features of the updated system software 3.65 PS3.

- Saved Data Utility for PSP games. The feature "Saved Data Utility (mini)" under "Game" is now called "Saved Data Utility (mini / PSP ™). You can now save your data backed up PSP ™ by copying the hard drive of your PlayStation ® 3.

A humble Jack Tretton has opened the Sony E3 press conference with apologies to retail, third-party partners and consumers for the downtime that crippled the PlayStation Network for six weeks.

He said that network levels were now back to around 90 per cent of what they were before the service was hacked and user data was compromised.

"To our partners... I know the network outage was costly to you," he told the audience. "What's been incredibly inspiring is your support and offers to help us get back up to speed."

Addressing gamers he said: "You are the lifeblood of the company. Without you there is no PlayStation. I want to apologise personally and on behalf of the company for any anxiety we've caused you."

Chancing a light-hearted note, he commented that journalists are known for relishing bad news, and for that he offered "you're welcome."

Sony's PlayStation Vita is obviously the company's handheld of tomorrow, but it's the PlayStation Portable that's being credited with the assist. The PSP has been a flagship device for Sony since December 12, 2004, and during its time on the market, a grand total of 70 million have been moved globally. That's the number belted out here at E3, which sounds downright ginormous at first listen. Unfortunately, that's nowhere near the 100 million DS units that Nintendo had shipped... back in 2009. It's worth mentioning that this tally includes the original PSP-1000, the slimmer / lighter PSP-2000, the not-too-different PSP-3000 and the critically panned PSP go, and we're guessing the Vita will eventually be lumped in here as well at some point. So, Mario's still laughing, but hey -- at least Sony's sold 298 million UMD units, right?

If you didn't know, Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is taking place this week in Los Angeles. During Sony's Monday night press conference, they have finally revealed the official name for their forthcoming handheld game machine. Previously codenamed NGP, the device is now officially called PlayStation Vita.

Sony executive Kaz Hirai arrived on stage to announce that Sony will offer both a Wi-Fi only model as well as a 3G model available later this year. He said the Wi-Fi only model will cost $249 and the 3G/Wi-Fi model will retail for $299. Hirai announced that Sony has partnered exclusively with AT&T to be the American carrier for the 3G version of Vita. This actually drew some laughs and groans from the crowd.

Sony executives said there are more than 80 titles currently in development for Vita. Among them, "Uncharted: Golden Abyss," "LittleBigPlanet" and "ModNation Racers."

During the press event, Naughty Dog showed off how the "Uncharted" game will take advantage of Vita's two touch pads and tilt capabilities and just how good it will look on the sprawling 5-inch OLED screen.

In a surprise announcement, Ken Levine, founder of Irrational Games, said his company will be making an NGP game set in the "BioShock" universe.

Cheers went up as a trailer for "Street Fighter X Tekken" played on a giant screen in front of the packed house. Yoshinori Ono of Capcom not only arrived on stage to tell the happy audience that they would be making a version of the game for Vita, but he also played it in front of the audience on the big screen.

Game executives not only touted Vita's power and connectivity, but the way games would be able to be played both on Vita as well as the PlayStation 3.

"We’re confident that the PlayStation Vita will be the first device to truly blur the lines between entertainment and real life," Hirai said.
