gofreak said:Ooh..so you can keep a room active even if everyone in the room logs off? Or does someone always have to be logged in?
Beatbox said:If your notifications are set to 'on' - each chatroom comment shows up on screen like the subject of a regular XMB message. If you're in multiple rooms it doesn't seem to diferentiat which room the comment is coming from in the overlay. The rooms do stay active when the orignal creator leaves and it's easy to rejoin even if you reboot (as long as you didn't 'delete' the chat room - 'leaving' it is fine and keeps the link active).

megateto said:Quick question: how do you watch bluray movies on a PAL sdtv? Green screen is all I am getting at the moment.
Seriously, its effin' annoying. Reading these posts make me want to stab someone!!!LiquidMetal14 said:Hype? It was overblown for people like you to come in here to claim this is shit. Go back to not appreciating anything that comes this way via FW updates. Or get a job and help Sony work on the features just for you. Either way your bickering is worthless.

navanman said:Sorry if I'm being rude but why would you watch a Blu-Ray on a SDTV?
The PQ would be indistinguishable from a regular DVD.
The green screen is macro-vision protection when using a RGB SCART cable.
Beatbox said:Yep. We had a full room and some people were just playing whatever game - pausing and rejoining the discussion when something/someone relevant/interesting popped up on their screen.
navanman said:Do you get blue screen using DVD switch or using the composite-SCART cable that comes with PS3.
patsu said:Yes, this is the poor man's version of Playstation Home: Just a text-based gathering place with no fluff.

Is there a common/official name for the GAF chat room ?
patsu said:Can you join a chat room just by knowing its name ? (e.g., "GAF" or "B3D"). Or must you be invited to the room once, and is there a timeout period where the chatroom will forget you were a member ?
Beatbox said:Nah, I don't think the chatrooms are searchable - so you'll need an invite to join in on the fun.
obaidr said:some one should update the OP with ALL the new features and details like faster Trophies, Browser etc.
Fizzle said:What's the point of text chat if it's not Home exclusive?
More reason not to boot up Home. :lol

- I didn't see this 'recent trophies history' thing mentioned
mrklaw said:can you be invited 'cold' into a chatroom from within a game? The demo only showed an existing instance being returned to.
guggnichso said:The wordfilter is seriously screwed up.
It censores the german words for "not" and "please", lawl
gofreak said:I've updated the OP with more details, and a slightly more visual guide to text chat.
Did I miss any other changes..?
That's good news. Too bad my media servers hard drive failed. Has anyone been able to PLAY the videos from PSN on a PC?mgviperman said:Hmm, some avi files that would never work before the update have magically started working for me now.
TTP said:There is an antispam system. Post 5 messages in quick succession and you are forced to wait before being able to input again. Test it in my lounge gofreak
Totobeni said:Voice Chat still exclusive to Home

YAY!alr1ghtstart said:yes! I can now read neogaf spoilers via PS3.
-PXG- said:I know. And it sucks too. I hate not being able to talk to my team in Killzone. What's the point in playing online if I can't talk to my teammates or my friends? I might as well just play with bots offline. :/ I swear Sony does shit just to piss people off. It's almost as if they just don't fucking care anymore.
megateto said:Because I can't afford a HDTV and there's no way in hell that I ever buy a dvd ? Turning off the scart doesn't seem to make it work (I have an old scart cable with a game-dvd switch and all I get is a green screen or b&w picture, and the tv sure supports NTSC) .
