Hey Guys
IÂ’ve been working with Sony trying to reproduce and solve the PSN sign-out issues some of you report.
Any info you can generate will be really helpful. Sony mentioned a bug they fixed with the next system software update (2.70) that might resolve these issues, but we have to narrow it down and verify itÂ’s the same problem to be sure itÂ’s that and not something we need to fix on our end.
IIRC it will drop later this month. And contain lots of fun new fixes. IÂ’m excited about this one, lots of new stuff. 🙂
Though, I dont think I can mention any of them just yet.

Details have been revealed, however, by a member of the GameTrailers forums, claiming to be in Sony R&D. According to the information he revealed, the firmware update will contain improvements to your Friends List, such as voice messaging support and Home Intergration, as well as drastic improvements for the loading time of In-Game XMB.
If all this is legit, then it would appear that Sony is really stepping up and adding more value to their console. So far, no confirmation has been made by Sony on the release of this firmware update or on the updates that will come with it. Keep checking back with us ’cause we’ll be keeping you posted on any info that may come out in the following days.
