Sony Computer Entertainment America says it is looking into reported PS3 problems following the release of the latest firmware update for the console.

Last week a number of users reported running into technical problems after installing PS3 firmware 3.00, including the inability to synch up controllers with consoles and game crashes.

“SCEA is aware of reports that PS3 owners are experiencing isolated issues with their PS3 system since installing the most recent system software update (v3.00),” Patrick Seybold, SCEA’s senior director of corporate communications, wrote on the US PlayStation Blog. “Rest assured that we are looking into the matter and will provide an update here as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience, as it’s our mission to deliver the best consumer experience on all PlayStation platforms.”

Released on September 1 and billed as the last “significant” PS3 firmware update of 2009, version 3.00 introduces new trophy and friends list features, as well as dynamic dashboard themes and PlayStation Store shortcuts.
