I rebuilt my work laptop to install SP3 (it needed a clear out anyway) and I had no issues to be honest.
We've rolled it out to a few client p.c.'s as an update as well - it broke Citrix sessions but apps and the like were fine

I havent noticed any problems, but havent tried the PS3 online since installing the service pack.
Not sure if it would cause a problem though?

We have had a quite a few problems with Service Pack 3. My address bar dissapeared from my Start Menu (it was taken away for Legal Reasons).
We have also had a lot of problems with USB devices as well. The moment a USB device is plugged in the machine blue screens. To resolve it you have to delete all the USB Hub devices from Device Manager.

Updated mine via the automatic update but whilst it was doing the clearing up bit at the end of the actual update it froze up. Left it for 45 minutes and no disk activity, could still use the PC as normal. In the end did a reboot and seems to be fine with SP3 installed. The system I have is a home built Shuttle XPC with Core-2-Duo CPU. Thinking on it could have been the spybot teatime that may have caused the issue.

No issues on my work laptop, upgraded manually (downloaded the files from Microsoft) from a stock Dell XP SP2 build.
No issues on my home laptop, supplied with SP3 installed.

The USB driver problems are well documented but ony effect Windows XP install using the Service Pack 1 USB drivers. As soon as Service Pack 3 is installed they conflict. It's simple to remove them but it does become a problem when your workstations are USB only and have no PS/2 ports for keyboards and mice.
