When the Sony PS3 first hit the market many of us were so exited, but when we took the new games console home and set it up there was a horrible taste left in our mouths. The problem that the Sony PlayStation faced was it did not offer gamers the chance to speak to other gamers online; keeping a community talking is one of the most important things for gamers.
When it comes to keeping gamers happy and talking, it seems that the Sony PS3 can not touch the Xbox 360. This was the ultimate console when it comes to their voice chat options, many PS3 owners are hoping that the new Sony PS3 Firmware v2.4 Update will come with the rumoured improved communication features. The guys over at PS3 Daily have said that the new firmware update will be released on June 18; this seems like so long to wait for the much approved communication features.
Also being rumoured in the Sony PS3 Firmware v2.4 Update, is a Trophy System for achievement points, there are also rumours of many more goodies from the update, as always we have to wait until the day to find out what they will be. It seems that there are so many conflicting reports about when the new firmware will be ready for download, some are saying the June 10, but most sources are looking more towards June 18.
So what else do you want from the new Sony PS3 Firmware v2.4 Update?

The thing I am most hoping for is some way of controlling the aspect ratio for HD resolutions. My PS3 is currently connected to a 17″ PC monitor which unfortunately can’t be told not to stretch the image to fit the screen. The Xbox 360 allows specific output resolutions to be chosen - why can’t the PS3 do this?
the ability to play ps2 games and stay online to chat would be really handy
Because the xbox has a built in scaler chip, as far as im aware the actual raw output of the image doesnt change, it just gets stretched and distorted into shape
Where is Skype???
It is out on the PSP but not on the PS3!!
I have the Playstation Eye, which was a total waste of money without Skype!!!
GIVE US SKYPE!!!
“keeping a community talking is one of the most important things for gamers.”
Since when exactly? I have never once felt the need to talk to someone when playing a game on my 360, and if people do feel this need, then I suggest they play better games they don’t feel the need to distract themselves from however they can, rather than actually focusing on playing said games… assuming they can find any of course.
Product Reviews are so far up Microsoft’s behind it really is sickening.
skype a must
the trophy system will come with home
most important the XMB menu in game! not just the quit game turn off controller options when hitting the ps button.
more control over the partitions for linux and xmb
rsx enabled for linux
dedicated servers for games such as gta and gt5 and cod4
dualshock 3 ne danger? (not strictly firmware related)
roll back to the previous firmware, all the new one dig was create more bugs not fix any exsisting bugs i was experiencing.
new browser FIREFOX please!! please!!
that is all
RSS, podcast (audio and video) downloading plus a YouTube client would be sweet.
you can set a custom hd resolution on your ps3 for games by going into display settings, and instead of selecting all the supported resolutions, pick just the one you want, leave all the rest unchecked…and bingo…
all ur games will play in that resolution
More HD format option.
Like this partition: 50% for PS3 and 50% for other OS.
At the present time there is only 10G for PS3 or 10G for other OS.
Too few option for a 80G or 120G HD
Can they release an update to make the control pad somewhat comfortable to use?!
