I really miss the chime when you start a game. I don't understand what the logic or reason was behind that. Sony you are a very strange company.

I think if the complaints increase they will put everything back in the next firmware, hopefully...
This is the reason I haven't updated to 3.0

Speaking as someone who has 3.0... there's only one thing really WRONG with it and that is how big it all is and the unstoppable news ticker. If they give those as an OPTION rather than a forced thing, then 3.1 will be fine.
You can turn off the sparkles. As for system/game boot noises, those are irrelevant and do not affect functionality in any way.

I don't have the news ticker on mine, I disabled it when it first came out. (see video on page 2)

Everything looks great on my 62" plasma 
Don't know what the fuss is about with the user icon or font sizes.
The friends list is the only thing that chafes a bit.
It looks too...tacky. Everything else is gorgeous, and then you have this shiny silver background that looks like it came out of the worst part of the 70s.
Response has been pretty negative, so hopefully Sony catches on.

^ Tacky! Yes, that term fits the new update perfectly!
(Apart from the sparkles, they're still cool IMO).
I think if they push the text back to the size it was it would look a lot more clean.

I hate that they have gotten rid of the PS3 logo when starting up a game. It still takes as long to start up, but now it just has a black screen.

I don't see any excuses, just suggestions for users who are unhappy and an assurance that they will fix what was broken, etc. GOOD work, in my opinion.

My theory on the missing chime/logo is that Sony are intending to replace it with the new PS3 logo. Sony have gone to the trouble of rebranding the PS3, so it makes sense, doesn't it? I don't miss the chime, but I would like to see a logo return as it was a continued tradition from the PS2.

^^ I think if that was the case they would have put it in already, I mean it's probably just an image file. Seeing as a lot of people miss it, they might add the option later to let you add the new one though >.>

Pretty average all round. You'd think rolling an update out to millions of users they'd test the waters first.
I really miss the chime personally!

Bring back the chime Sony!
Such a ridiculous idea to take it away!
And I can't believe people are complaining about the glitter effect??? It looks awesome (at least on my tv it does). Goes to show you can't keep everyone happy!

It looks fine, but it looks tacky. Some people liked the clean, elegant setup they had before, so enormous text and icons and a glittering background is more like the prostitute version of the PS3, all sparkly and in your face, but not particularly classy.
Even so, I myself have left the sparkles on. Sony refers to it as "fizz" like in a soft drink. Hoho! >_>

Heh, that's because sparkles evoke images of unicorns, fluffly bunnies and the power of friendship....
...or, like you said, a prostitute.

3.01 is now out, they have put it as an optional update since it only fixes the Uncharted problem.

Because some people might just not WANT it fixed.

I don't. I'd rather not download it and download the next proper update.
