Update: Well, that was quick. True to its word, Sony has made firmware 3.30 available. Grab it through Network Update or our download section.

PS3 firmware 3.30 is due out “shortly,” Sony announced today. In addition to bringing preliminary stereo 3D support to the table, it features several enhancements that streamline accessibility when browsing through your collection of Trophies. These additions mark the inclusion of a trio of all-new sorting options, as detailed below:

* Trophy enhancements –- Now you can more easily sort trophies in the [Trophy Collection] and [Comparing Trophy] sections. Sorting can be done with [Trophy Collection] in the [Game Category] and also when comparing trophies with your friends in the [Friend Category]
* Trophy Folder (Title List) can be sorted by game name/ by title according to the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
* Add-on list (Group list) can be sorted by original/the date in which you earned your last trophy (ascending/descending)
* Trophy list can be sorted by original/trophy name/grade/date of obtaining the trophy (ascending/descending)

Nothing too noteworthy but certainly an improvement over the last firmware update, which to the dismay of many, took the controversial liberty of removing OtherOS. Sony was keen to note that firmware 3.30 only “preps” the system for 3D support. Meaning, it’s there, but not quite activated yet.  The true 3D enabling update isn’t due out till June.
