PS3 Firmware 3.40 Available - PlayStation Plus, Facebook

[admin]

Sony has released the 3.40 firmware for the PS3. The headline new feature is Facebook integration, allowing users to integrate their PSN accounts and certain PS3 functions (like uploading, commenting on photos on Facebook).

The other new feature is support for the new PlayStation Plus, a new subscription based online service that tries to repeat the success of the popular Xbox Live network, which is also subscription based. But unlike Xbox Live, gamers still don't need to pay in order to play multiplayer games.

Other features include a five-star rating system for PlayStation Store content, new power saving settings, and an integrated YouTube uploader with simple video editing features, allowing users to upload videos files on the PS3 to YouTube while performing some simple edits along the way.

But it'll still delete my Other OS function?

Other OS is gone for good, I'm afraid.

So if I skipped the previous update and went directly to this one, it would still be gone?

Would I be able to downgrade if I ever wanted to use my Linux again? (I have the .pbp update file on my hard drive for that reason)

Yes, all PS3 updates include all previous updates in the same package, so if you update from 2.0 to 3.0, then all the in-between updates are applied as well.

You can't downgrade firmware as far as I know. If you want Other OS, you'll just have to skip all future updates.
