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?

how about barometer ^^
How about a ‘Self Destruct’ option?
Perhaps some more infor when applying patches and upgrades or downloading of demo’s it only has a progress bar along the bottom, would be nice to see the speed of the download plus an eta…?
How about better divx support?
I, too, would much like for my PS3 experience to be more like that which I get from my 360. So obviously my biggest wants are for the next firmware update to increase the noise output of the PS3 console itself tenfold and make it significantly more likely to stop working for no reason at all when I try to switch it on.
Yes a thermometer to check the temperature when it sounds like its overheating. White-noise cancelling to quieten the fan noise. An Altimeter for when I hastily throw it out the window if it ever catches fire. Thrusters like on Mars Phoenix for when it lands.
I want an ‘auto-dust’ option for the machine.
Full support for infinite sub folders, simple enough and there’s really no excuses to neglect sorting it out if Sony expect the PS3 to be taken seriously as a hub for media.
Oh and the ability to play my music when I play my game…wow groundbreaking stuff hey…crazy that such an obvious feature needs requesting this far down the line.
