Anyone else had to deactivate and reactivate their PS3 to get Store content to work after this update ?

Will try a game later.

The login to PSN seems much faster, shows who is online quicker and updates their icons quicker.

Nope, had a few races against Ojste and Apop in Wipeout HD today without any problems (good races btw guys!

)

It wouldn't let me access any content and told me to redownload the wipeout key as well, even after a reboot, so I went into activation, (tbh at this point I can't remember if it claimed the PS3 was already activated when I first went in to the new activation system or not) still didn't work, so I deactivated then reactivated and it finally worked.

Just out of interest, I assume everyone else has the dead (as we don't have the store yet I assume) "activate for video" option as well ?

Dammit Google, I searched to see if anyone else had the same experience and I was the top result.

I set the update to download and selected to turn off after updating, later I started the PS3 but it shut down after a little while which made me go :eek:

but after turning on again it was fine, I could also log into the PSN and buy Linger in Shadows just fine.

Strange that you have that issue but as long as it works now I would leave it at that.

Flash 9 should also mean full access to things like BBC News and BBC iPlayer. Although it does say on the iPlayer they are developing it for PS3 so maybe it will be a fully fledged app under the "TV" section where PlayTV currently is.

EDIT: Perhaps the PS3 iPlayer app will allow download to the PS3's hard drive.

Just to let you know you can already watch the iplayer, some chap has done a sneaky work around and you can already watch it www.ps3iplayer.com

That stopped working recently, some sort of javascript issue I think, don't know if this update will have fixed it though.
