E3 2009: Next PS3 firmware update and new feature

i can’t see why not, we are about due for the free music/video streaming service though so it could be an firmware update that includes that. not fussed over cross game chat, nothing could be worse than experiencing some tense in game moment and having a knob shouting down the mic like a gibbering monkey. no tah.

I WANT MY PLAYTV!… in the u.s.-and cross game voice chat and, return bacwards compatibility AND, better use of ps eye (where’s eye pet?) AND, better usage motion sensing abilities avail since day 1..AND lastly update the browser! as is, it wins compared to netflix on 360(vs hulu, youtube etc.) why not finish the job and add to validation of current pricing? …I WANT MY PLAYTV!

I hope part of it means the movie rental/purchase thing coming to Canada.

Oh and Bruce, I think that the backwards compatibility thing was partly hardware too, not just a software thing and they had to scrap it due to costs.

ps3 network is really annoying me, i’ll play a game for about an hour then i’ll be kicked of the net work due to a DNS error. after this i’m not able to sign in for the rest of that day. is it worth it? i rang playstation who blame my internet provider, i rang my internet provider who blame play station….. update this before the filmware. or you can keep the playstation and i’ll move 2 xbox!!!!!

Get a cheap new router or something richard you can get then for about £15 now

yeah DNS errors happen on my ps3 but not my PC… i hate it

Hi,
If DNS errors occur, just restart your PS3, or restart your router, then it should work!

Since cross-game voice chat is, essentially, a VoIP service, I doubt that Sony will get into that for free, when they could easily charge for it.

I’m in favor of Sony putting that in their pay-DLC, since I have no use for it and don’t want something that could be made an optional add-on bloating up my OS. Let the people who want it put their money where their mouths are.

What I’d prefer is for system updates to be background downloadable, and executable at system shut-down. I’m tired of getting a message telling me I need to do a system update when I want to play, and then having to wait 10-15 minutes for it to download and install. Let me play while my console gets updated.

For all that, though, I love that we get updates and improvements a few times a year.

i want to be able to listen to my media library while playn burnout seems to be the only game that duz it so far

A CODEC fix for playing (at last…waiting for years) my AVI/MPEG/Xvid files…

come on Sony, give us the best mediaplayer in the world

<<has the backwards compatible ps3. I love it.

Five things I would like to see

1.I hope they change the firmware to let you multitask more, and listen to your own music while playing a game. Buy it from Microsoft if you have to.

2. Tournaments for money/a small fee or even better straight out gambling. add features, do your thing.

3. Private tournaments for money, register through home, top 50 players or skill level based etc.

4. A home that doesn’t suck. With better interactive locations and games that involve your avatar. take a shots at the wii..just cuz

5. Can play downloaded Sony movies (other than psp) on other portable Sony devices like the Sony Walkman.

I have heard of the new update, and from what i hear its gonna blow the wii out of the water.

I heard the are making a new playstation remote somewhat to that of the wii. but better, meaning if you move closer, it can sense it, if you move backwards it can sense it. if you turn your hand it will sense it. I hope you understand what im getting at. We are basically combinining the XBOX and the Wii gaming system together with the playstation system. making it the best system out there. if it can do what the XBOX and the Wii can do, everyone should throw away their red ring of death systems and their non-HD having systems and get with the program.

no no no…change your dns address…….opendns.com

A couple big things i would like to see on the PS3

1) How bout reading something other than FAT32 for storage of external hard drives. Would love to put 1080HD movies on external however can’t (without converting) because of the 4gb per file on FAT32.

2) Better music sorting from internal/external sources. Or better multitasking of music files. In game etc…

3) More reliable network. Im tired of DNS errors.

Could care less about cross game chat.

The PS3 has come on leaps and bounds over the past 2 years and any improvements are (at least) one step closer to the other consoles.

DNS Errors ARE an ISP problem – generally because most ADSL Providers insist on you using DHCP to connect to their service and when their DHCP Server refreshes then the PSN will kick you out! Unavoidable unless you change your PS3 from DHCP to Manual IP Address and fix the DNS Address to the one provided by your service (PCs don’t suffer because the DNS Address is cached during an ISP IP Refresh – a microsoft thing, which is also a problem on the XB360, btw!!)

Anyway – as I am a UK User, I am still waiting for downloadable movies and also a more reliable Remote Play System cos it really DOESN’T do what it says on the tin!!

I strongly believe sony has a new firmware for e3 under their sleeve!

hey, how bout a patch to fix dat pesky 80010514 “CODE OF DEATH” thing going around?

hi would love to see in the next update

chat 2 different people while playing different games

and listern 2 music while playing a game

i agree. you should be able to play YOUR music while in a game. by the way warhawk has this feature too ^^

Well it’s E3 time and there is no firmware update, so why the rumors if its’ not true it’s completely bullshit man, I need some proof not WORDS!!!!!!!!!!

I want the implementation of “motion flow ” .

I read about people having this DNS error and I use my ps3 on the internet all the time and play games online. And for the 2 years i’ve had my ps3 i have never gotten this error. So, maybe it is in the routers or their internet providers. I’m using DSL at the top speed i can get and mine is fine. Maybe running too much on the internet (like on pc’s, messengers) at the same time would cause this… I dunno. I have 3 computers on my internet with messengers running and still have no problems… So, i doubt its the PS3.

why didnt sony put alot of ram in there ps3?

put better games at PS Store plse

te xbox has 2 sticks of ddr3 which i good since its not for multitasking but ps3 has on stick of ddr3 ad aother of something i cant remember the name of which is good for framerates and frame refreshing which is really good for gaming and moviessonce they use framesper second type deal, but ps3 has the sae 512 mb as xbox so its not really lessand for something thats meant to rn one big thing at a time you wouldnt need any more until more advanced ga,es com out which will be around 2016, and ps3 uses nvidia vid cards wich are really nicefor gaming xbox uses ati which are good for hd stuff and ok for gaming but 11.7 gigabytes mkes microsoft not able to have games go to a true 1080 p, i only know this stuff cAuse i study computers and such training myself before college, and remember your friendly neiberhood consoles are really good gaming pcs that are meant to do one big thing and a few small thins at all times

I had DNS problems too, but then I got wireless phones that run on a 6.0 wireless frequency to replace my old ones that ran on a 2.4 frequency and then I have not had a problem since. Older wireless phones, as well as older wireless devices of any kind could interfere with your wireless internet connection for your PS3, make sure you have the latest in wireless technology for all of your devices to prevent interference.

I agree I have both 360 & ps3 and its alot easier to navigate through massive amounts of music on 360 so surely sony can fix this

we need a new dashboard n something that will smash sky on xbox. to be honest our bbc iplayer is shit its just a quick link to get us into it faster.
