Not everyone was happy with Sony's Firmware 3.0 update, we all know that. Apparently though, it turns out somebody was mad enough to actually file a lawsuit against Sony for having the said upgrade cause "malfunction" to his PS3 unit. Reports of freezes came rolling out almost immediately when the firmware was released.

Even though it did fix the issues caused by PS3 firmware 3.00, the release of firmware 3.01 also led to reports of Blu-ray drive errors from those who updated. Sony says it's not the firmware that's causing the issues, though.

Yesterday, we reported on another rumor about cross-game chat being included in the coming FW 3.10 update. Well guess what, we have another rumor for you -- FW 3.10 is "Coming Soon".

Thanks for this huge news, Naroon! Remember that much-hullabaloo'd issue on the PS3 voice chat? Well, looks like there's a "development" to this said feature, rumor as it still may be. Find out what this "development" is after the jump.

The PS3 may have lost its throne to the DSi in the Japanese hardware charts this week, but the PS3 blog has continued to see big news. We saw a spat between the BBC and Sony, problems fixed and problems caused by a new firmware update, and the release of the demo for what promises to be one of the great PS3 releases of the year, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. All that and more in the PS3 Weekend Warrior, available after the jump.

With the release of the FW 3.01 update, many thought that their issues with 3.00, particularly the one with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, will be resolved. But out of the frying pan and into the fire, comments at the PlayStation Blog indicate that 3.01 causes more problems than it solves. After updating, many users seem to have experienced problems with their Blu-ray drives. Bummer.

Thanks to linked2thepast06 for the tip-off!

Heads up PlayStation 3 owners! The latest PS3 firmware update v3.01 is now available for download. According to Sony, this update improves system stability during use of some PlayStation 3 format software.

Despite presenting problems for those who've already made the firmware upgrade, it seems that FW 3.0 has accomplished what it set out to do - boost sales for the PlayStation Store. One developer that benefited from this upgrade is Doublesix, which told GamesIndustry.biz that Burn Zombie Burn sales jumped 40% since the firmware's launch.

Those who've already taken the time to download the big FW 3.0 update may have had a few bones to pick with the new features. From the changes to the XMB, playing music and browsing simultaneously, even the problem with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - you've been asking, now the European PlayStation Blog has a few answers.

Uh-oh. Looks like FW 3.0 just made Uncharted a bit more unchartable. Reports are coming in of freezing complaints on the game, ever since they updated to the newest firmware update from Sony.
