Can't wait for the stealth updates!

 

[acabado]

At least it's still coming...

At least some words from Sony about it. I remember about a week earlier of 1.83 launch,some Sony insider said tha BD 720p and PSone and PS2 games upscale would take some long time.

 

[Lindsay]

So much bannage... ^_^;

Lame update! Only one of the things from my wishlist made it in there (playlists) and everything else is just useless to me. ;_;

On the bright side though, UPS called and said my fixed PS3 will arrive tommorow! Woohoo! Just in time hopefully for some Bust-A-Groove? Make it happen Sony!

 

[TTP]

People will just have to wait before I can send a message back.

But what if someone is telling you your car is on fire?

 

[Slavik81]

What do you mean by really stepping it up?

I mean increasing the rate at which they add to the firmware. Although, admittedly, there's not really many specific things I'd like from future Xbox Firmware updates.

 

[greendublin]

cros-game invites. Now THAT'S what I like about XBL. And I know ur not alone in your opinion, but I know I'm not alone in mine either. As for custom soundtracks: I've used it only in Gears.

I'd say, bottom line, if there is any reason someone would buy a 360 version over a PS3 version, be it achievements, first version released, in-game messaging, custom soundtracks or improved performance, Sony should be concerned about it and doing everything in their power to make their version equal if not better. To make a football analogy, it's quite like a division game... the stakes are high because every one you lose is one your division foe wins.

But what if someone is telling you your car is on fire?

So someone sees his car is on fire and, instead of knocking on his door, they run inside, turn on the PS3, log in and send him a personal message? :lol

 

[Synless]

Is this going to be out tonight at midnight or sometime tomorrow???

 

[Goldrusher]

A good update IMO.

Small changes some people may find not 2.00 worthy, but for all I care they number it 1.961.147.2.b

 

[szaromir]

I don't believe you took that joke seriously to analyze absurdity of that statement. :O

Yeah, it could be interesting what future brings, since they don't need to add a lot of missing features (but some would be welcome, like globalized clan support or at least easy to implement API for developers). They definitely have plenty to fix though. I think we'll continue to see 2 updates a year.

 

[RiverBed]

I just hope they officially create new themes and support people creating customed ones. also, it would be great if they can implement animated backgrounds and icons. I would love to see a 1080p beach breathing on my screen while I scroll around my XMB. and custom music in-game is fantastic. it certainly helps when playing mutliplayer or when re-playing something, grinding, exploring, etc. in a game in areas you already cleared- especially when the game's tracks are bad. MotorStorm's is extremely loud and annoying. I always have music on mute on that thing.

PS. in-game XMB and friends invite is the only main feature left to appear, imo. I hope it is coming with this update or at least very soon.

 

[I3rand0]

So will I be able to organize my demos/psn games into folders now?

 

[Ragnarok10]

Sounds like just Photos and Music will be organizable at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[TTP]

Who knows. He might be nerd enough to do that.

 

[Wollan]

Not all the features has been disclosed yet so who knows. Photos and Music refer to playlists.

 

[Firewire]

Thank the God's, I have about 100 tunes on my PS3 and its all mixed up to shit!

 

[prelude514]

Fuck this sucks. I'll be out of town tomorrow and Friday... Looks like 2.0 and Uncharted will have to wait

 

[dfyb]

Thank the God's, I have about 100 tunes on my PS3 and its all mixed up to shit!

fix your id tags. my tunes were automatically grouped and i can switch between organized by artist or album etc.

 

[sullyj]

How do you go about "fixing" your tags?

 

[The Elite]

So this will probably hit tonight?

 

[Gattsu25]

How do you go about "fixing" your tags?

only using the ps3? press triangle on the song or album and go to 'information'

 

[Firewire]

only using the ps3? press triangle on the song or album and go to 'information'

I have to do that for every song?

 

[M3wThr33]

[Gattsu25]

I have to do that for every song?

there might be a better way...most likely it involves a PC or 1 minute of effort when you rip your CDs

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Don't underestimate the significance of the Remote Play turning PS3 on! It makes Remote Play a million times more useful!

Still doesn't make up for the lack of custom soundtracks though!

 

[Firewire]

Well I guess I can re-tag everything on my Mac and stream it all back to the PS3.

 

[dallow_bg]

ID tags were automatic when I ripped my CDs.

Everything is grouped nicely on the PS3.

 

[jonabbey]

So this will probably hit tonight?

On the Playstation blog, all they say is 'in the next few days'. ;-(

 

[Lince]

this time around I won't bother posting again "Soul Calibur III still runs like crap on my PAL 60GB PS3 after the update"... BC improvements / enhacements R.I.P. since the introduction of PS3 40GB / ultra-slim PS2.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Wow they're really pulling out all the stops for 2.0

Come on wtf

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Looks pretty cool, based on the video @ Playstation Blog.

[Elios83]

Official video demo:

I think the information board is the coolest feature if they are really going to update it with interesting news and links to good articles.

Nice. I appreciate the additions.

 

[Wollan]

Information board is a pretty smooth feature.

DAMN STRAIGHT HOMEY

 

[YYZ]

lol, the user replies on the video demo are so mean. I would feel like an asshole berating Lempel, he seems like a nice guy.

 

[KTallguy]

It's really a shame that there's no in game messaging yet. That's my biggest sore spot.

However remote play stuff is awesome, and the playlist stuff is awesome (it better come for PSP too).

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Information board is a pretty smooth feature.

Wish PS-Store was that smooth :/

*dreams*

 

[Xisiqomelir]

I'd happily pay Sony $50 a year for Live-like functionality on PS3.

I think you're allowed to donate money to corporations freely. Don't count on too many backers though.

 

[iapetus]

Which is reasonable enough. Plenty of the people whining the loudest clearly are assholes.

 

[h3ro]

I hope they add the ability to stick PSN games and demos into the new PSN Icon, its messing up my smooth Games section

 

[Vashu]

But what if someone is telling you your car is on fire?

:lol

That would be awesome! It means I actually have a car!

 

[Erebus]

I think PS Store is already smooth. Why people are so distasteful to the store?

 

[kenta]

Imagine how nice it would be to browse PS Store content like you browse the video/music/photo collection on your hard drive, with everything integrated right into the XMB. Instant (and coherent) organization, slick, smooth, no web pages to load or images to break, it would be very nice

 

[methane47]

LOL 600+ Replies to the FW post on the blog.... LOL

 

[TTP]

eheh

I do wonder if the information will be different for every region tho. Which kinda scares me.

 

[TONX]

The music playlist would be very nice if we had custom soundtracks to use them.

i already have ideas for wipeout hd and cod4 playlists.

hells yea it would

i like the new additions - the psp remote start is pretty amazing, but i don't have a psp.

 

[TONX]

From the SCEA boards. Its choppy but you get the idea.
