I will never pay for online play, NEVER, even if it means we get a slow (even though it really isn't) store and no cross game invites.

This is such an idiotic way to look at things. Because they don't improve one thing, they should stop providing improvements for everything else. LOL. Am I reading this stuff right here?
People need to shut the fuck up. I like that the PS3 now upscales DVD's to Denon and Oppo like quality. That it offers 24hz Blu-ray playback, that it uses the new BR profile. That it can now use DTS HD MA, up-scale and smoothen PS2/PS1 games, support DivX files above 2GB, has a new improved store, new musc playing backgrounds and so on. I don't care how many updates there are, (unless it's one every day) as long as each update improves my system or gives me more functionality somehow. The more features Sony can add to the PS3, the better.
If they sit on improvements just so they can bundle a whole load together in a lump at said periods, they are imo being lazy. Seriously, I honestly hate the idea of Sony slowing down the rate of PS3 improvements because of some whiney and (imo) lazy users who simply can't be bothered to update on a regular basis. Either that, or they are regular haters who just love to complain about everything PS3 related.
Damned if you do damned if you don't.

Same. Sure all the bells and whistles of LIVE are great and technically make it a better experience in some ways, but after playing Resistance multiplayer for the longest time, I didn't really find myself wishing it were more like LIVE.

Insane For Sony
I don't know what's going on with network in Europe, but here in Canada, it takes at most 5-10 minutes to download and install any of the updates. I measured once even. They are updating PS3 store tomorrow, and it's a complete overhaul. If you've seen the video of it in action, I think you'd agree that it's anything but slow POS now.Mohonky said:
As far as media streaming goes, I don't even know what more they could add. I can stream h264 files with 5.1 sound, as well as regular h264 stereo, divx and xvid through the network. Where's the problem there?

Sweet, me loves them firmware updates.
Also, stop complaining. The PS3, as whole, has changed dramatically from when it first launched and it hasn't cost you a cent to get any of the improvements.

I just want some browser improvements. I can't stream crap from most places.

Why do you guys give the idiots so much attention - like 1/2 the posts on here are geared toward his whining, so what let him bitch - no one cares.
Excellent - I hope they add more features like they always do.

WMA Lossless support for a start
In all fairness, I think they've done a pretty good job so far of improving the value proposition and functionality of the box with the firmware upgrades. They could go on forever improving the software so it'll be interesting to see how the XMB evolves over time. Word. If they ever get round to in-game messaging/invites then it's basically about as feature complete as you'd want. Dedicated servers are a major plus as well in my book.

Exactly. Its sad that SONY listened to the crybabies, but we don't have to give them the time of day on GAF.

I don't know if FLAC is supported also, and I never tested either, but I seem to remember TVersity provides decoding of those formats into an uncompressed WAV stream that PS3 can play.Pallaris said:WMA Lossless support for a start

Just in case you'd noticed my comment about the web browser Marconelly, it's only connecting to the homepage where I get a delay (in fact I'll jump to another page - without problems - cos it doesnt seem to progress at all).
PSN Store and online gaming(!) are as good as ever (my connection has always been damn fast). I can't remember what it was like the last time I did a FW update - but I didn't notice it. If it does take a long time I'd just switch the TV on and watch... umm, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Yeah man I was thinkin the same thing. All new store this week, GT5P, new store content again, MGO beta, all that stuf you said. Few more weeks and gamers day is here with all new trailers and footage, and then soon after that MGS4... all this in time for summer.
