daniezutton Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Main Features Revised in System Software Version 4.45 You can now select whether to show a notification when you earn a trophy while playing a game. You can adjust the setting under [settings] > [system Setting] > [Trophy Notifications]. For detailed information including limitations of usage, visit the SCE Web site for your region. I for one enjoy hearing the "ding" when i obtain a trophy; but hey, i'm not everyone and i'm sure this update will be useful for some. Doesn't it do that already ? For messages and friend requests, yes. Edited June 19, 2013 by Tamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hold off the update if it means I can avoid any problems with my PS3. It is for the best to not update since I was surfing other forums to confirm that other users are being affected. I updated and nothing happened so I suggest being safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
