[Ancient_One]

Firmware 3.61 for PS3 has been released.

Update now.

PlayStation®Network
New for 3.61: As a security measure, this system software update will require you to change your account password before you can again access PlayStation®Network *. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this process. > See details

* Applies to the master account and all sub-accounts.


Caution
When you change your password, an e-mail message may be sent to the e-mail address registered with PlayStation®Network (your sign-in ID). If you cannot receive messages at your registered e-mail address, you will not be able to change your password.

If you cannot receive messages at the e-mail address you have registered as your sign-in ID, before changing your password, make sure you have an e-mail address where you can receive messages and then contact PlayStation® Consumer Support.

Depending on your country/region of residence and the network environment you are using, you may not be able to change your PlayStation®Network account password or make use of PlayStation®Network services for some time after updating your PS3™ system software.

The ability to change PlayStation®Network account passwords and use PlayStation®Network services* will be made available in all regions within a few days.

* This does not include the use of PlayStation®Store.

Damn I installed it thinking that it would let me back online again, but no... not to be

[Pure Mongrel]

Me too. That being said I did not try and change my account details, will have another look when I get home from work.

Ok so it works now, after update and being promted to reset your password.

but Playstation store not working.
will try BFBC2 online and see if that will work... currently updating to 1.05... and by the looks of it, it's gonna be a while too

have you noticed that xbox downloads quicker than ps3?

[Pure Mongrel]

Yeah, but it had improved of late.

I would not judge the PSN speeds at the moment though. I am guessing that there are a lot of people trying to get on and limited bandwidth as the PSN gets back on its feet.
