Battlefield 3 patch now available on PlayStation 3

posted Mar 28, 12

As promised, the Battlefield 3 patch is now available to download for PlayStation 3 owners. The patch, version 1.04, is quite big, weighing in at 1080 MB. In addition to all the fixes we previously reported, the new patch also includes updates to the Wake Island map, which now supports 5 flags.

The new update also introduces the server rental program for consoles, where servers can be rented for 1 day and up to 90 days. Here are the current console server prices:

1 day: $1.49
7 days: $6.99
30 days: $24.99
90 days: $64.99

Game servers are in limited availability at the moment, and according to sources, they’re already sold out.

Shortcut items

Another new "feature” called Shortcut Items is being rolled out with the new patch. It gives players the ability to purchase all unlocks for each class or vehicle, instead of having to play through to unlock everything. There are 3 shortcut bundles: Kit Shortcut Bundle which unlocks everything for all classes. Vehicle Shortcut Bundle which unlocks everything for all vehicles, and Ultimate Bundle,which unlocks everything.

For more details on the patch, check out the full change log.

PS3 System Software Update (v3.70)

Hi everyone! As we are continuously working toward providing the best gaming and entertainment experience on PlayStation 3, I wanted to give you all a heads up on the following new features and changes coming with the next system software update (v.3.70).

To make things easier for PlayStation Plus subscribers, we’ve added the option to automate two existing features. The [Automatic Download] feature will now be called [Automatic Update] as a result of these new options.

A new auto upload function for online save data back-up will be added to make it easier to back-up your game save data. Under (Game), select the game for which you want to automatically upload saved data, and then press the Triangle button.
Also, Trophies will now sync automatically at the timing of Auto Download.

A new recommendation function will be added that enables you to share your recommendations for PlayStation Store items, such as games and videos, with PlayStation Network friends. You will be able to send messages with a store link from the product pages within the PlayStation Store.

Due to the increase in video applications being offered on PS3, we are adding a new category on the XMB called TV/Video Services. This category will include video applications such as Netflix, Hulu PLUS, and VUDU.

You’ll be able to find and download all of the video applications available on PS3 directly from this new XMB category.
A folder labeled "My Channels” within this category will allow you to easily access your downloaded applications.
Any videos downloaded from the PlayStation store will continue to be placed in the existing Video category on the XMB

Two updates for all of you enjoying Blu-ray 3D movies on PS3:

3D support will now be available when accessing Java-based special features on Blu-Ray
DTS-HD MA, DTS-HD HR decoding/bit stream output (or lossless audio) will be supported while playing Blu-ray 3D movies.
3D digital photos in MPO format can now be viewed in 3D on the XMB and in the Photo Gallery app.

The 3.70 update will be available soon; additional details will be available after the firmware goes live here. Separately, there will also be a minor PSP system software update (v. 6.60) launching soon.

As always, let us know of any feedback in the comments below.

Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles

Michael Bay, the producer of next year's live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, has addressed the widespread negative reaction fans had upon hearing that Bay and Co. have reconceived the heroes in a half-shell as aliens.

In a posting at his Shoot For The Edit blog forum, Bay said, "Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script. Our team is working closely with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles to help expand and give a more complex back story. Relax, we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world."

What say you? Does Bay's statement "chill" you out? Comment below!

Battlefield 3 patch currently in certification

Good news, everyone! According to DICE (via Twitter), the new Battlefield 3 patch is currently in certification at Microsoft and Sony, which means the patch is complete and only awaits the go-ahead from the console makers. Of course, the PC patch could be released earlier, but DICE likes to update all three platforms at the same time.

Last time a patch was in the certification stage, we saw it released approximately one week later, which means — fingers crossed — we could see the new Battlefield 3 patch released next week.
