Support NeoGAF

[Valkyr Junkie]

Nothing sweet about 'a minor update that improves the playback quality of some PS3 format software'.

Maybe he owns some "PS3 format software" and is looking for improved playback quality.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Why not 2.71? Why the skip to .76?

 

[Oni Jazar]

Why not 2.71? Why the skip to .76?

PSN release tomorrow.

Believe.

 

[Trevelyon]

is there .png support in the photo gallery now?

 

[Philanthropist]

wonder if its something for/due to Infamous?

Either there are minor issues with the final code and they're actually releasing this to provide some more stability or they're actually getting ready to bundle this firmware update with something like a new batch of PS3 hardware (a slim redesign or simply another hardware revision).

I remember an odd firmware update, 2.16 I believe, was released when GT5 Prologue came out, and I think the game already had it in the disk. I've got the feeling this is the same case, something to do with their release schedule. I could be totally off as well.

And couldn't you have bumped the 2.70 firmware thread?

 

[spwolf]

Why not 2.71? Why the skip to .76?

because they did .71, 72, 73, 74, 75 internally and are releasing 76

 

[Fersis]

I love my PS3 format software stable and 'playbackable'

 

[Tntnnbltn]

The firmware update will probably adds VidZone XMB functionality for European consoles. Would explain why they are releasing a seemingly insignificant update in the US.

 

[JoJo13]

2.8 confirmed to be a big FW update? we'll see, I suppose...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I love my PS3 format software stable and 'playbackable'

There are alot of stability issues with 60GB compared to 80/40GB. e.g. Burn Zombie Burn most of the time crashes on me when I use the dance speaker

 

[XxBigP123xX]

It's out. Downloading now.

 

[kuYuri]

So the firmware update should be out later tonight or tomorrow?

 

[donkey show]

Wasn't expecting to update so soon. Downloading as we speak.

 

[Tntnnbltn]

It's out. Downloading now.

Damn. First Thursday update they've had in a while, no?

Edit: Wait, it's still Wednesday night in the US. Nevermind.

 

[iamcool388]

[Dead Prince]

It's not going to get fixed!!

 

[Ranger X]

[gcubed]

the clock thing HAS to be an internal Sony joke now

 

[AndyD]

I meant to say Fuck you. the clock!!

:lol
It's not going to get fixed!!

I hope it never does. Its an endearing staple of the PS3.

 

[Guy Legend]

I meant to say Fuck you. the clock!!

:lol
It's not going to get fixed!!

MEGATON averted.

 

[Dead Prince]

MEGATON averted.

Wait for E3!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Done and installed in 5 minutes

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

It's got to be a huge internet joke too. There's something off when a person complain their game console can't tell the actual the time for any given moment for the sparse seconds you see a battery symbol that it makes it the bane of their existent, that I somehow can not take seriously about and just laugh.

 

[Gbeav]

the clock thing HAS to be an internal Sony joke now

Nah, it's a GAF issue. Doubt they give a crap.

 

[iceatcs]

MEGATON averted.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Clock thing?

 

[Mistouze]

Clock thing?

I hope Sony communicates on that when it's happen. I want a big update on the playstation blog to a DEDICATED CLOCK FIX FIRMWARE UPDATE.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

I don't even know what's wrong with the clock in the first place...

 

[Mistouze]

I don't even know what's wrong with the clock in the first place...

When you bring up the XMB in game, the controller battery indicator overlaps with the clock.

Yes, it is stupid :lol

 

[CrushDance]

I don't even know what's wrong with the clock in the first place...

:lol It overlaps

 

[NameGenerated]

They better not "fix" it.

 

[MikeE21286]

I don't even know what's wrong with the clock in the first place...

you don't wanna know....once you see you can't unsee it:lol

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Yes, it is stupid :lol

Oh ok.

Never really noticed as I have a clock like on every wall but I can see why that's annoying.

 

[AndyD]

Oh ok.

Never really noticed as I have a clock like on every wall but I can see why that's annoying.

Its not annoying, it lasts 3 seconds, its just that it hasn't been fixed in so long its become an XMB staple.

 

[Boss Man]

Come on cross-game voice cha-

Eh, I don't even get excited anymore. How have they not run out of shit to do with photo viewing yet? It's like they do it just to say they made an update.

 

[user friendly]

Wait for E3!

Jack walks off stage.... "but wait, there's just.... one more thing"

 

[alba]

Game Informer "year changing" megaton is that sony will fix the clock! (

Spoiler

BELIEVE

)

 

[Trevelyon]

Any direct download links yet?

nvm: My third attempt is going a lot faster.

 

[Nightbreeze]

Done, don;t notice any changes... my wife thinks some icons are different but I think she's on crack.

 

[Cruzader]

I hope they get rid of the ' you want to run this plugin?' crap on the browser. PSP's browser, although worse, doesnt give you any of that bs.

 

[Jtrizzy]

Fuck I keep getting disconnected when I try and download this update. Anyone else having this problem?

 

[hateradio]

I think it has something to do with patching the libTiff "exploit," anyone who updated know if they did patch that?

idk but I hope its for that too. Dont want PS3 to have PSPs fate.
