I hope they completely revamp the trophy sync process. It can take 5 minutes to compare trophies with people and sometimes it just quits and gives an error.

Joke post? Never takes longer than 30 seconds for me.

 

[Mrbob]

Doesn't the firmware usually hit late at night.... so probably later tonight we'll see it?

 

[chubigans]

Now that it's all confirmed, wont you be so kind Jim as to let us in on the details?

Yeah I'm going to pick *this* as something to complain about. It's high-larious.

For people like me who downloaded the beta patch for Age of Booty that leaked out, it takes a whopping 3 minutes.

What do you mean? Fighting sticks, or just the sticks on the DS3?

I've had it take 40 minutes on my connection, but that was one time. Usually it takes around 10 minutes for the whole process.

 

[Dante]

You sat for 40 minutes trying to compare trophies? :lol

 

[kuYuri]

TE = Tournament Edition, so the former.

fighting sticks, preferably the Mad Catz sticks. Only Hori sticks are backward compatible as of now.

 

[AndyD]

I think he means update firmware

LOL, I thought he misspelled "the".

 

[kuYuri]

LOL, I thought he misspelled "the".

Actually, you could be right. :lol

Oh come on. It takes under 30 seconds for me, and I'm in Australia. Australia. The official land of shithouse internet speed.

If what you're saying is true, then I'd suggest you may want to look at network factors beyond PSN performance.

I'm referencing trophy syncing not firmware downloads.

 

[Andronicus]

I'm referencing trophy syncing not firmware downloads.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

its you, not the PSN.

 

[XxBigP123xX]

It's up.

Installing now...

 

[Returners]

It's up.

Installing now...

Yup, its up (in Canada). DLing now.

install: no details of the firmware at all, just went straight into the install bar.

 

[DMeisterJ]

It's up.

Installing now...

What's the sitch?

 

[VegaShinra]

New Avatars!

 

[XxBigP123xX]

What's the sitch?

From what I see, nothing new.
Edit: Actually, have we always been able to view the "Game Data Utility" from the in-game XMB?

 

[Gouty]

I’m updating my PS3 in the middle of a thunder storm. For an encore I think I’ll give my electronics a bath.

 

[AndyD]

Dling here too. had to go to update manually, it did not auto prompt.

 

[Maggot9]

New Avatars!

REALLY

 

[The Faceless Master]

even when using my cellphone as a modem and and Windows ICS, it takes less than a minute to compare trophies.

 

[Cruzader]

From what I see, nothing new.
Edit: Actually, have we always been able to view the "Game Data Utility" from the in-game XMB?

nope nor you save data.

 

[VegaShinra]

REALLY

I think they are. They are new to me atleast. Anyone try cross-game chat?

 

[AndyD]

Well the trophy load and compare are faster. Especially load. Ill test more later.

 

[Shins]

Oh look, the update took all of three-and-a-half minutes to download and install.

I'd sure be pissed to turn on my PS3 every six months and be met with this kind of hindrance.

Stupid fucking morons.

 

[Maggot9]

I think they are. They are new to me atleast. Anyone try cross-game chat?

no new avatars dude

 

[XxBigP123xX]

nope nor you save data.

Well, now we can view it in-game. Not saved data or memory cards, just game data. You can delete it too.

 

[VegaShinra]

no new avatars dude

Well, that shows how often I check the avatars out.

 

[FoxSpirit]

Well, ingame XMB is definitely faster now... or at least the delays feels slower than the last time I wanted to view the "player's met" list.

 

[I3rand0]

I don't see any noticeable changes at all.

 

[Maggot9]

comparing trophies is slightly SLOWER than before update :\

 

[VegaShinra]

Well, ingame XMB is definitely faster now... or at least the delays feels slower than the last time I wanted to view the "player's met" list.

It's seems much quicker to me. Now we need to find the new stuff. Of course, if it can't be used yet, then maybe we won't be able to find it....

 

[commissar]

Ugh another 20 minute wait before i can download some songs and play rockband. I hate these forced updates they suck shit (yes they are forced, i can never enter the store without updating).

2.80 isn't forcd, I could still access the PSN store, and my friends list after checking for an update, while on 2.76.

Updating to 2.80 now.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

New Avatars!

Lies. Nothing new to see here folks.

 

[DuckRacer]

They still haven't fixed the clock.

When are they going to add any new features people actually care about? Or at least fix things that everyone wants fixed? Did Sony fire the firmware development team and replaced them with the PSN monkey? Christ.

 

[Wollan]

Yeah same, could sign in and see friends list and such without updating to 2.80.

 

[Ranger X]

..because we don't want our console to go faster and less buggy amirite? :lol

 

[Wollan]

XMB icons (all over) appear faster for me.

 

[Zombie James]

Trolls still complaining about the clock :lol

 

[VegaShinra]

The XMB and Trophy loading are a lot faster. Good enough for me.

 

[jmd494]

The fact that there are no new avatars continues to perplex and bother me.

 

[Dante]

FWIW, Jeff Rubenstein told me at the R2 launch that there's certain aspects of the firmware that they aren't able to touch on the US side, and the clock was one of those.

Please don't shoot the messenger

 

[Mr_Appleby]

This 1000x. I'm sending my system to sony in couple of weeks because of a dead ethernet adapter and the idea of losing my saves sucks.

beg/borrow/steal/buy a usb drive and do a full backup before you send it off. all your saves are copied and can be restored to any ps3.

if you even suspect your ps3 is dying, or if you have to send it for service, ffs do the full backup. full backup does all your music and movies etc too so if you already have them on another device, deleting them from the ps3 will make the backup faster and smaller.

but yes, it copies protected saves.

 

[Psy-Phi]

The only thing I care about right now is getting the 1 Blu-Ray movie I have that doesn't work properly to work properly. When watching The Chronciles of Riddick in "Uncut" mode it will pause, and skip ahead a random number of minutes (but always at the same section it will pause). Annoying.

Works fine in Theatrical cut.

I've enjoyed taunting my father for not buying a PS3 as his main blu-ray player everytime I go home and watch yet another movie on his Samsung player that says it's incompatible or does exactly waht this movie does (the movies we share in common work 100% fine on the PS3). Now I've run into one and I can't lord the PS3's fantastic playback ability of Blu-Ray over him any longer.

I'll find out in a few minutes when it finishes downloading/installing I guess...Do they ever update the Blu-Ray playback in these FW updates?

Does anyone know who develops the firmware for PS3? I read somewhere that Q-Games designed the original XMB for Sony, but who updates it now? Is it still Q-Games? Or is it an internal team within Sony in Japan?

 

[XonoX]

Dling here too. had to go to update manually, it did not auto prompt.

Yeah, strange.....
