Is the next wowhawk patch going to have custom soundtracks?
I'm not particularly interested in using it in that game, but I'm just wondering because SSHD didn't have custom soundtracks with this patch, which I found curious. Maybe they didn't have the tools in time or something.

Decided to time this update after seeing all the recent whiners:
Download: 1m:53s @ an average speed of 1181KB/s
Copying update to PS3: 2m:3s
Installing: 3m:14s (this includes the wait for the PS3 to boot in "safe mode", skipping all the User Agreement text, and booting after the install)
7m:10s
They're right! Way too much time I had to waste while updating...
:lol

Only SSHD has it atm.neorej said:
Ok so if you push the PS button on a second controller it brings up the XMB. From there, u can go change the controller port from 2 to 1 and the previously 1 controller is automatically changed to 2. Pretty neat.
I know the controller settings were announced already. Just saying it's nice you can automatically switch ports. Previously I had to turn off controller 1 in order to have that port assigned to another controller. Now all I have to do is setting the second controller to 1 and the system takes care of the rest.
This is also possible in the "old" PS Button menu. I recall it wasn't before. If a controller was set to 1, you couldnt set a second one to that port unless you turned off the first controller.
Are you confused? I know...

Subtitles have been supported for quite some time now. Only in .divx files though, try one of these (free) programs to "merge" an avi and a subtitle file to a divx file, only takes a few minutes:

Erm, I tried this a few days ago when I was playing Tekken with some friends and it didn't work like that. It automaticly switched as well. It must have been added in an update after you tried it.

Don't worry about your trophies, I had most of mien update and the last few haven't yet. I'm sure there is just a backlog of updating to do with this many people getting trophies. I hope something other than SSD gets them soon.
