We asked the Product Reviews community a few days ago what they expect from Sony PS3 firmware 2.44/2.50, and we had some great feedback.
The most common request was for the next Playstation 3 software update to include a Flash Player update so users can stream video and other content, this was followed up by PS3 users asking for more Web Memory.
You can see what some gamers asked for below, have a read of these firmware update requests and then feel free to leave your own in the comments. Lets hope Sony Listen to the gaming community.
Better organization of music artists/albums/tracks. Shortcuts to randomly play all tracks stored, or all tracks on an album or by an artist.
Better codec support for music.
Able 2 play music while playing a game!
Ingame XMB whilst playing PS1 and PS2 games
Ingame screen capturing would be awesome
Some way to lock out the kids or anyone for that matter from music, pics or video that is inappropriate
The ability to mute the background music that starts playing when scrolling through your demos/games would also be very appreciated.
I would like to see 16:9 aspect mp4 actually displayed 16:9 on a 4:3 screen

I wanna play mkv and a BIG plus would be if they fix so that you can add subtitles to avi movies as on a usual computer. hate all constrictions on prebuilt media stations. can’t understand whats so damn difficult unless they do it to sell less products.
I would reaally like an update so that you can be in a chat with your friends and be on the web or even a game at the same time. thanks
If home ever gets here. i would like to see the ability to play personnel music on the web through the PS3. why? because i rather use my PS3 hard drive for this then use up my puny PC hard drive for this.
A browser like Flock would way better, than the stupid useless browser you have in the PS3 now.
also i would like to be able to browse the internet through the web, while playing a game., so i don’t to turn on computer just to look something up on a game. That goes for any game.
I would extremely like having the ability to be in a chat room and get on the internet or possibly a game at the same time, or even all 3 at the same time. that would be awesomeeee!!
I have a 55″ 4:3 HDTV 1080i
Problem is that the PS3 auto zooms the 16:9 image to fill out the 4:3 TV. This distortes the image and does not do the game / Blu-ray any justice.
I have since returned my PS3 for this reason.
All you have to do is allow the 16:9 aspect ratio to be played on a 4:3 TV….like all DVD/Blu-ray players do!!!! I don’t mind the black bars but if users do give them the option.
- real player
- flash player
- Updated backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games for all PS3’s versions and region (free region)
**** please DO THAT , we paid for the PS3 ,and it’s NOT cheap *****
i would like to see MSN Messnger, or atleast the online version being compatible. This would be a good update if available to use just like messeging other ps3 users.
also i this in game music needs to be thought of.
Flash Player 10 would help (and for some reason when i wisit certain websites i get a message at the top of the web page saying that they’ve detected that i’m using Internet Explorer 6 and saying that i should upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 , very strange considering that i was actually using the PS3s web browser)
