we have to wait for an updated version of these games or if they're going to release a wholly seperate version or whatever

Failure confirmed. PS3 flawed major, so say's me. Argue and die.

nothing has changed with that file you're downloading as opposed to two days ago and today.

720p preference setting, or native Blu Ray out?

Speaking of which, on my monitor, the XMB @ 720p cuts off some stuff on the sides. Is this what you're talking about? I have to set mine to 1080i before everything on the XMB is in the "right places." My monitor has an overscan function but it only works when displaying certain things. It works with the Wii and DVD's but not the PS3.

what do i need to buy to get a dual shock to work on the ps3?

jesus xmas, this update is taking like 40 minutes to download. WTF?!

i bought an adapter at radioshack a couple years back for like 10 bucks.

it says psx-to-usb on it.

lol, I'm just joking. The first post was edited post update and Crash Bandicoot purchase. I was too excited and jumped the gun. Either way, I'll just have to call Sony and see if they'll refund my money, since I don't own a PSP.

Some people are taking my comments a *tad* too serious. Sarcasm confirmed?
 
The video thumbnails are fixed! My super-slow mo LittleBigPlanet thumbnail was still there, but I remade it...and now its super smooth.

Add that to the fix list!
 
this is a great update

but, does this mean if I get the PS2 controller plug for the PS3, I can have rumble for my PS2 games? if so, im actually going to order it right now. (do they even make something like this?)

the other major thing I want Sony to fix now is to let me use PS3 accessories for PS2/PS1 games, I want to play GGX2 with my VSHG

Are you guys gonna buy PSone games that you already own?

not at all, if I wanted to play my PS1 games I own on my PS3, I would just use the CD. Its not like with VC where you would need a different system to play the games.

Are you downloading it over wi-fi? Also, you sure you're not sharing your connection with anyone else?

NO!

I will buy other games I was thinking of getting back then. Or games I enjoyed at a friend's house. And maybe some other stuff that looks interesting now, but didn't then. But, I won't buy games I already have sitting on my bookshelf.

I'm almost positive I remember Phil saying the same PSOne file would work on PSP and PS3 though.
 
THUMBNAIL-SLOWDOWN = FIXED!

YAY! YAY!

Fortunately the PSOne library is so big that there are a good number of games that I do not own and want to play, plus downloading junk is cool.

Holy Smokes! My Lair icon isn't going slow anymore, either.
 
Another feature: You can now press triangle on your username (if you have more than one account) and set the PS3 to auto-login to that account everytime.

EDIT:
Harrison also explained how the PS1 downloads will initially be for play only on the PSP, but will later work on the PS3 when the emulation software is available. The beauty is that one download will be playable on both PlayStation machines, console and portable.

Of course, this might have changed.
 
I'm willing to bank that tomorrow on the PS STore we'll see "PS1 Classics for PS3". It would make sense that both systems have different emulators / constraints etc, requiring different file types. I just wonder what games will be made available?

It makes sense, since the update was tonight, if tomorrow we got some awesome PS1 content for PS3.
 
This is what I want fixed, in order of importance:

Native 720p Blu Ray - now bordering on the ridiculous.

OR

A preference setting for games vs movies, which would be weak and weird, versus actually fixing the Blu Ray problem.


Volume toned WAAAAAAAAAAAY down on game demo previews when you select 'em. Damn. It's going to wreck my speakers.

This is the reason they rape us with microtransactions.
I like downloading stuff from PSN too.

well, you never know. they could go the way that i'm hoping they're not and make you buy two different versions of the same game

i'd be okay with having to DOWNLOAD two different versions of the same game as long as i don't have to BUY both.

if i were to buy them.
 
It seems rather dumb that this update allows PSOne games to be played on PS3, but there aren't any games that fit the requirements to do so right now.
 
Oh ****, I have to restart the d/l. :P I was watching the hockey game and decided to move my router and modem around on the comp desk, and I must have hit the hibernate button on the modem. Sure enough, the PS3 had timed out when I got back to it.

A bit scary, I kept getting DNS errors on my PS3 when it tried to log on until I recycled my router and modem. :-o
 
Big-E said:
Given that they released this update today I think we might hopefully be seeing some new PS games tomorrow.

That may explain why Sony hasn't released any PS1 games lately.

Updates are always on Thursday. Quite frankly Im super happy we got this update tonight, rather than tomorrow as well as the PS Store update...crashing PSN into the ground.
 
Here's hoping they add some good classic 3rd party PS1 games tomorrow. I wonder how well FF7 will do if they add it. If they add Parasite Eve 1&2 I'll be a happy happy man.

I really don't have a problem with any of them except the motorstorm demo. How much incredibly louder the preview for that one is compared to the rest is ridiculous.

I need to delete it :/
 
I wonder if there will be any regional lock on these downloadable PS1 games, ie, can I go to any country's store and download a particular game and play it?
 
Mmmkay said:
And why the European PSN has none at all.
Just create an US/HK account... takes like 5 minutes.
 
Here's to hoping they update the current PS for PSP titles so that they function on both systems and release new games that function on both systems. Like they promised.

Or, just have the games downloadable separately and the save files interchangeable. And don't charge for the same game on both systems.

Whatever, I'll just be happy if I see any PS1 games I can play on my PS3 tomorrow. Regardless if I'm interested in buying the game or not.

If so it will prob just make you log into that country's account like it makes me do when I wanna turn the JP cat game on. Weird though that I don't have to for Hot Shots Golf.
 
You can now download PlayStation format software from the PS Store and play it on your PS3

WHAT?

Can someone confirm?????

S@@IOHUAHS)&@!IOHU!IYB!

edit: oh gay, so you can't play the ones that are already out? gay.
 
DCharlie said:
doesn't that mean you could potentially upload popstationed games onto the Ps3??
The better question would be why would you want to popstation a game from a disc and then back to PS3, when the said disc works in PS3 anyway. If you are thinking about circumventing region protection that falls in the same area as playing illegally downloaded copies, if it happens, it won't be from Sony updates.
 
wow, if sony allowed us to rip our ps1 games to the hard drive and play it would be totally beyond awesome.

i know that's kind of off topic but that idea just hit me with all this talk of the psp-ps1 games playable on ps3.

YAY! But Too bad it still doesnt recognizes my mp3 player (It used to before 1.6 :( )
 
At least I can confirm that the vibration fonction works with ps2 games, just tried Cars (yes i know... but it is my son's game and rumble is omnipresent) with a PS2 controller and usb adapter and rumble works fine now so I suppose it should work on any game.
This is an old Ps2 usb adapter that I bought on play asia 2-3 years ago so... should work with any.

I like this update, now I can enjoy back FF12 the way it should be....

I also agree that tomorrow we should see PS1 for PS3 games on the store with a constant release each week from now on. Ps1 on the store are identified as ps1 for PSp games so I suppose it is normal they do not work maybe they will just change some flags tomorrow and they will work on the ps3


Immersion agreement in effect....
