PlayStation®3 General Discussion

[noseyrook]

I have just bought a new ps3 slim. When I updated it to 3.21 everything was fine then yesterday I was forced to update to 3.30 know I am having bluetooth device sinking problems, my official PS3 headset wont sink but it sinks fine on my older 60GB version.

After a while of messing around I eventually got the headset to work but when I turned the ps3 off and pulled the plug out it lost the bluetooth headset information again and failed to sink.

I don't know what to do because if I get the console replaced I am forced to update again then I might experience the same problems.

1. Delete the BT device from your devices list in [Accessory Settings].

2. Turn off your headset, turn off your console.

3. Turn your console back on, plug in your Official headset via USB. You must use the USB slot on the device, do not connect via the stand.

4. You will receive a message stating "Register Complete"

5. Unplug the device and turn it on.

Should fix the problem.

It worked, thanks for your help. Has other people reported problems with the latest firmware update 3.30?

Dualshocks not working and the usual "firmware 3.30" has bricked my console.

I  wish they would bug test the updates before release, and also they should not make them mandatory so they give people the chance to do some research on the update first and decide whether or not they want it. A brand new console can be bricked way too easily by a ***** update that wasnt really needed in the first place.

You have done that all wrong. The latest craze is to moan about firmware updates removing features, not moan about it adding features.

shawty forgot to mention that Sony gave you the FW for free, so you should be grateful! You just know they would have made buckets of money (well about £1 at most) if they charged for Trophy sorting!
