WOW at how fast the icons scroll in the game and video sections.

I have TONS of video and it now scrolls down with NO slowdown, and the preview video for them loads almost instantly.

Really nice, overall loading is faster.

Where is my folder creation option!

This was actually funny. I see trolling way differently than this post. Oh well.



I bet firmware update 2.0 will be HOME. :D

On ps3forums, they're suggesting that games stored on the hard drive are loading faster now, to go along with the decrease in load time for animated icons on the XMB.

"Apparently HDD access times have been cut nearly in half from reports around the internet."

Nice bit of work, if true.

That's really really nice if it's true, kudos to the firmware team, they can really make something out of clay seriously. I was really impressived with the upscalling upgrade.

The whole HDD access thing actually seems legit... I have 7 demos from the PS Store and they seem to run smoother and faster than before. The animated icons load up much quicker too.

This is to become a thread where many PS3-owners will enter in a very short time, to check what's been updated on their PS3, no need to let the thread become hijacked allready, good riddance to him if that's all he had to contribute. :)

It was a joke.

There was no feature list, so he made a funny one. Thank God you're not a mod.

installing now... any more impressions on the web browser? I'm still waiting on sony to do a nice big overhaul on it, I was really expecting to replace this browser with the ps3 one eventually with my HDTV, wireless mouse/keyboard, but the browser has been crap from day one.

I'm not sure if it's just observer bias or whatever, but it definitely seems faster to me.


Still can't run Web MSN though. :(

Where was the original source of these "flash wallpapers" and is there ANY evidence of this actually being true?

Sho Nuff has been cross platform bitching and comedy relief on the board for around 7 years now, so for him to be banned for this does seem OTT. IMO of course.

Perhaps it was one joke too far or something?

And now we know the true reason for this update (besides borking Warhawk): to get people to discover features that were added in previous FW updates.

Sounds good.

That was one of my main complaints, kind of slow loading for such a system.

Sho Nuff banned? Wow - the day the funny died!

Perhaps the patch will install a sense of humour ?

If only he`d put "lol amirite?" "PEACE" or "RAWR WOWHAWK" at the end...

The troll got banned? Oh noes! But he was funny to DCharlie and a couple of others (for obvious reasons).

WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO US?

Btw will Sony ever release a changelist soon enough so that we won't have multiple page threads of people guessing and wondering what changed?

Heh, they finally corrected annoying translation mistake in Russian version of XMB. "Display settings" was translated as "To display settings", which was annoying first time I looked to change the resolution. Correct now, thanks a lot, Sony. :)

Browser indeed displaying a page before loading all the pictures now and XMB previews are fast as hell now. Thats all I've noticed so far.

I didn't see it mentioned yet but...

I just bought Super Stardust HD and now when you download, you can see more information on how much has been downloaded. SSHD is 300MB and instead of looking like 1MB / 300MB it shows 1042k / 300MB and you can see the left side counting up. Let's you see alot more detail on how fast it's going.

edit: Haha! I just went back to the TV and once it gets past a certain point it starts to look like 45MB / 300MB again and just counts up in intervals of one. Bah!

you calling ANYONE a troll is piss taking of the highest order.

Holy smoke! I was surprised that was the first time I officially crossed the line!

Anyways I don't think this patch does anything...back to Folding I guess.

I still don't understand why Sony doesn't just give us the same 480p unlocking option the HDTVXploder boot disk does for PS2 games. They could even refine it and correct the 4:3/16:9 formatting options some games have with that boot disk.

Great, this bullshit froze my system. It's stuck on the "Press the PS button" screen, and it's just completely frozen. Even if I completely power it down and unplug it, then restart it, it just comes up to the same frozen screen. What the fuck.

I think this update could have something to do with sony prepping in-game XMB. When I heard that HDD time was much faster, I became curious and I loaded up resistance to test out its in-game xmb friends list and too my surprise it loads much faster. Its a seamless transition now. Theres only a slight delay for your friends' icons...

I know i'm excited.

Did you try connecting the controller through USB to see if you get a response? (Not calling you out or anything, just trying to think of possible solutions...)

How about turning the main switch on and then holding the power button for a few seconds until you hear the beeps - or while the system is on and the screen is froze hold the buttons until it resets?

Sorry man, that's about all I can think of.
