I was under the impression that the argument in favorite of Playstation Move is that in theory Sony is taking what Nintendo does best and trying to improve upon it. I don't know why it's surprising that people might wish for Sony to do the same with some of the best features of the 360.

What do you mean by unified? You can already accept the invites from MW2 and BF:BC2 in whatever game you're playing...
And how can they 'include' the 'Join' button better than how they did it now? It's next to the 'Reply' button, you can't miss it. The only thing they could do is - like I and others said before - add a special icon so invites will be recognized as invites, and make it easier to instantly view your invitation (by pressing the PS button when the notification appears).
And no, it isn't too late to make it mandatory for all FUTURE games. They did the same with trophies. All games that were released after December 31, 2009 were required to have trophies.
If they would do this, all multiplayer games that are released after 'xx-xx-xxxx' (the date set by Sony) will have cross-game invites. And like with trophies, some developers will go and patch this into their older - but still popular - games as well.
But hey, maybe this is exactly what Sony is planning on doing with their Premium service(s). It would certainly be a wise thing to do.

Maybe they do, but I could tell it is long developing term. PSN is Sony first online network service.stupei said:
I dunno if it will be ready on PS3 or maybe it will be in rumour of PSN premium for voice chat etc..
I'm sure Sony won't miss it out on PS4 or maybe next PSP too.

Since the BC for the PS3 was updated, is this a sign of things to come?
Since 3.15 (or before?), the PS3 has been able to send reports to Sony when the system hangs / crashes.
Unless the firmware team has been spending all of their time on PSN Premium, I imagine 3.30 incorporates a number of fixes that Sony has identified since they put the crash dump utility in the OS.
I'd expect the web browser to be much more stable now, at least.

Wow Sony listened to my idea!

Well I'd like to think so anyways!

I love that I can list my trophies in alphabetical order now. Battlefield 1943 is the only title I have a 100% on and it's at the top of the list. :lol
Good to hear Youtube is working ok as well. Never watched it much since the browser used to just freeze and I'd have to restart the console.

I noticed that my compare trophies were ordered Alphabetically now
magicaltrevor said:
The invite system should work across ALL games the exact same way. I shouldn't have to work with a developers different way (sup, Bio5) from most of the others (Sup, BC2/MW2).
They need to UNIFY the game-invite rules and say "You need the join button, you need to make sure it is stated as a game invite."
And no, they aren't going to do it. If Sony mandates it this late (three four years into the PS3?) in the game, I'll be surprised. That ship sailed when PSN launched and they had to make developers fragment the invite system since there wasn't a basic/unified ruleset for the invite system.

Yeah... Well, we'll see.
It's nice that the option is there now, at least.
I hope all developers will pick it up like Infinity Ward did with MW2.

I want to be able to alphabetize my PSone games. Having say RE3 in one spot and then RE2 away from it several spots or so annoys the fucking crap out of me.
TheSeks said:
They can mandate it this late into the game. And I doubt the devs would bitch about it.
Because by mandating it, Sony would have to implement it into the reserved memory pool and not by forcing devs to lose any memory. So if Sony came and said here are the tools, the system is ready all you need is these hooks into your game (much like trophies) without sacrificing any memory or resources, then devs would use it rather than spend time and make their own and budget it into their system.
The problem is whether Sony is willing to develop such a system at this point. And I think they should, if nothing else as a test bed for the PS4 and that way be able to force all these various things from day one on the next system.

IT'S ALREADY THERE (see previous pages/posts and check out Modern Warfare 2 on PS3).
The feature exists. It doesn't require extra memory. And if it does, it's not more than 0.5 MB.

I'm waiting on my 3D TV until all the standards are set. I learned my lesson by buying a 30 inch CRT HDTV for $1,200 that didn't have 720p nor HDMI because they weren't standard at the time. Now pretty much every game for the PS3 on that TV plays in 480p even though it's an HDTV and every other HD device works with it.
Buying new tech early is very... very risky.
magicaltrevor said:
I meant as a mandatory option. I know MW2 and other games use it. I meant its not too late to make it mandatory. Especially since the system has a good few years of life left.
And what we have is still not feature complete like some want. With quick join buttons on the alert itself and whatnot. Its still somewhat clunky.
3D HD could be awesome. But I don't want it now because I fear it will hamper the games.JWong said:
Apparently Killzone 3 will be in 3D with Move.
That means it will take a significant graphical hit. I don't care about this stuff now, simply because the system isn't designed for it. If they want to bring 3D, then they should force you to buy a second PS3. That would be a great idea IMO.
Link 2 PS3s to play in full HD 3D.

Yeah, but they can add those things later on.
The basics of the feature are done and are working how they should work.
Now is the time for Sony to either make it mandatory, or really point it out to developers that the feature is available and that it's the preffered way of handling invites/joining friends.

I'm I missing something about trophy sorting?
They add reverse standard order and alphabetically, it that it? who cares?
I thought at least I could sort by completion, I don't even see a reason for other sorting options.

The trophy sorting options seem a bit pointless tbh, if they want to add some good trophy support why dont they just mirror what they're doing on the pc side of 'my psn' id love to have all that functionality actually on my PS3 and not have to check the pc to see how im ranked with my friends, and who out of my friends list i can look up for a games we all share.

BobTheFork said:
you have more sorting options in the actual trophy list of a game, but yeah, the overall game title list needs a sort by completion and an option to compare all trophies with ALL your friends at once (or at least how you compare in one selected game against all your friends).
btw. if they can't sync trophies automatically, they should at least add an option to automate the current syncing process. e.g. an option to sync every time you return to the XMB or when you connect to PSN etc.

Are they going to remove the taunting Dragona feature in 3.31?

All the hidden trophies show up as "Hidden Trophy" instead of the ????? that they used to have.

Somebody else on gaf said that if you skipped the 3.21 update, the 3.30 update still goes through the whole "we're going to nuke your linux install" warning screens, and indeed still removes the option.
edit: Somebody further up on this very page said otherwise:

Let's say you're at work and want to queue up some new download from the PSN store so when you get home you can play it immediately - you can do that via RemotePlay.leroidys said:
You can also play PS1 games remotely and also some PS3 and PSN games. So if you're traveling, you can still access them.
You can also stream videos on your PS3. So let's say you're traveling and your PS3 at home has a bunch of video and audio on it or is connected to another PC at your house via PS3 Media Server. Well, you'd be able to access and stream ALL of that remotely to your PSP or now, a VAIO laptop. You can also use the open source Remote Play stuff right now on any PC or Mac.
