PS3 Firmware Update 3.41

The next update for the Playstation 3 is already out and it's kind of a snore.  Update v3.41 adds the "You May Like" feature on the Playstation Store.  This new feature adds a "recommendations" section for games and videos.  On certain items, you may see the "You May Like" section on the right hand side of the screen.  This section shows other content that may be similar or based on other purchases by other Playstation Network users.  

"You May Like" is a good way to find similar games that may be to your liking or to find that one game that you've been looking for.  It is said that the feature will go live by the end of July.

I have downloaded v3.41, but I haven't seen the "You May Like" section yet, but I guess I'll have to wait until the end of july.

Naughty Dog Talks Cross-Game Chat

Earlier this month there was talk about cross-game chat coming to the PS3 in the next firmware update 3.10. Now, a comment made by ReklissAbandon, a Naughty Dog staff member, was left in a forum post about Uncharted 2 online communication. He said.....

"I think they wanted people to have fun and enjoy the show since all dead players can talk to each other no matter what team you are on. But I will suggest it anyway. Not to mention that the next PS3 firmware update is going to allow cross game chat. So if players use that instead of in game communication then they would also be able to communicate enemies positions.”

Sony once again made their famous response to questions like these,“We haven’t made any announcements on upcoming firmware and don’t comment on rumor or speculation.”
