now that would be hotPharmacy said:Am I the only one that likes the XMB wave?
I hope you can use a wallpaper and have the wave going over the top of it
I hope that this update will remove the ridiculously huge bars around God of War 1 when I have it upscaled. Does anyone know why this could possibly be happening? Everyone keeps telling me to put it on fullscreen... I'm not dumb I have it on fullscreen. Now all we need are some more ps3 games because there still isnt anything to play.

The "chat room" icon does show up in the XMB. It is contextual. Whenever you are in a 2-6 person chat, bring up your XMB and look in the column where your friends are listed. The "chat room" icon will be there, along with the names of all the friends in that chat with you.

Honestly, Id like to see the entire PS Store integrated right into XMB so its pretty seamless, downloading demos and videos and whatever else. I think loading up the store separately is kind of ridiculous, escepically since it looks soooo different than the XMB.
Also, the store "works" for now becuase of the limited amount of content on the PS3, but when it gets to PS2 level with the amount of games, demos, addons and whatever else, their current model will be a complete mess.

obligatory bug-fix request, as usual now since fw 1.80 :/
--------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT BUG!
There is a still a bug as of firmware 1.82 in the fact that PS2 games video output is always either YUV or RGB Limited, even when RGB FULL has been selected.
Basically with 1.82, everything (XMB, PS1, PS3 and BD/DVD movies) can be displayed in RGB FULL (when BD/DVD is set to RGB too, of course) except PS2 games that are still output as YUV or RGB limited.
This is annoying because the brightness is way too high and the image washed out when playing PS2 games after RGB FULL has been selected and the TV carefully calibrated for RGB FULL.
Technically, when RGB Full is selected, the PS3 video output colorspace ranges from 0 to 255 for everything (XMB, Movies, BD Movies, DVD Movies, PS1 & PS3 games) but when a PS2 game is launched, the video output then changes and is limited to 16 to 235.
Sony, PLEASE FIX THIS.
Thanks.

clearly tanod.
If you go and check the comments there, you'll always find 1 or 2 messages from me reporting this bug. For pretty much the last 6-7 news. ^^;;
I sent them emails about it too but never received any reply.
I'm just maximizing the chances it reaches them by posting here

this seems like a good update, but I dont know if I will change my background, I really like the PS3 background.
being able change things around in the XMB will be nice, I will put games on top, then PS1 games, then demos.

I saw that, and it's either an abnormality or some Euro laws enforcing that on European PS3s, coz regional lock exists in most DVD players, especially a Sony produced one. Anyway, the point is you'll never get Japanese PS3 to play European DVDs, unless there's a freeloader or something in the future.

Yeah, one of my BR disc has no region symbols on it, I just wasn't sure if it's region free or not. Regardless, they should just do away with the region thing altogether, but I suppose region locks were there to help Sony get some of the studios on board.

The first one is HUGE for me. We're going to purchase a new digital camcorder soon, and I have my eyes on one of the new HD + HDD cameras that record in AVCHD. Being able to play those videos back on the PS3 rocks. Now, all they have to do is enable streaming AVCHD files from a network server.
The second is cool. I've wanted that ability to do that because sometimes I want to change the options. Having to quit the game, make my change, and starting it again is a pain in the ass.
i don't want to sound over the top like some of the sony fanboys in this forum. but i have to say this......
SONY PS3 DROUGHT SEASON IS THAT OF THE NEW ENGLAND PATROITS 2007 OFFSEASON. YOU CAN'T DO NO WRONG.
its blitz after blitz of awesomeness all summer and its clear that sony do want to make ends meet.

So, for those who keep asking about custom soundtracks and all that, go here and write in.

Home will be integrated in the XMB as a new main icon with the firmware update. Then, when you click over it, you are asked to install HOME. Simple and perfect

My God. Europe and Japan share the same region for DVD's. You can freely watch ANY JP DVD in ANY EU DVD player.
