Reports have it that ever since the latest firmware upgrade, 3.00, consoles have been "acting badly." Sony is working to fix the program and provide a necessary update.

In your XMB you have to go to Settings http://fp.scea.com/Content/Support/SystemUpdates/PS3/img/icns/icn_settings.gif> System Update> Select via Internet.
The update will be there. :p
Oh wait, lemme guess, it’s optional for Slim owners because they don’t need it? If so, I smell civil war :p
