PS3 2.0 firmware details posted [confirmed?]

Fight for Freeform said:
I'm glad we can finally see the time when the PS button is hit!

But the fact that there is not yet 720p support for movies is absolutely ****ing pathetic.

Excuse me but is your TV incapable of 1080i?
 
There's another post of hers here on the 2nd April where she says
Currently you can not change the background. However, with the release of 2.00 "Theme Settings" shall be added.

Was her account hacked on that day too ?

And secondly there is no proof that this 2.0 list is fake.

There is just no release date on it so it could be a 2.0 wishlist, currently in debugging or any other number of possible explainations.

Yes i'm defending her coz i think with my knob mostly.

yeh...i know thats not her, but she's so darn purdy

Back on topic...there's more to this firmware "leak" than meets the eye. Can't wait for this week to be finished, between the Halo 3 beta, Sony's Gamer Days, and the real firmware update. Good times.


Makes it sound like this isn't the real one :p

Then again, if the powers that be knew this was fake (or entirely fake, at least), I'm not sure if the thread would still be open.

I guess we'll just see what happens.

Christ, now I can't wait for this week to be finished either :lol
 
I think the "real" update will be 1.7 and will have some other stuff included. By "more than meets the eye", I think Bish is saying that the list could really be true, but that 2.0 is not coming all that soon. More like some kind of internal list of stuff that's eventually coming.

you've forgotten how to Believe.
 
Ok guys, I think we can all agree that this was all fake and no update is coming.

1.7 was last month... Not believing this leak is one thing, but going out of your way to believe something that is easily proven wrong with about 5 seconds with google? :lol

Yeah, sorry, I meant 1.8. How is any of this easily proven wrong, especially now that we have people in the industry (Bishop) saying that it's not just flat out dismissable.
 
I was hoping for some more online game features and xmb access when gaming...Certainly not bad.

edit: fake? Ok, *fingers crossed*

Awesome. As if PS3 owners don't have it bad enough as it is, now they have to deal with teasing from the GAFstapo.
 
I'M VERY UPSET! (caps)

No one here has yet had the decency to link us up with more pictures and movies of this gal :(

C'mon you watch pr0n all the time or else you wouldn't have known the source image for "her" sig, now please share with the rest. :D (j/k... or am I, it's all up to the mods to decide)
 
Hopefully there's truth to this firmware update. Lotsa nice features in there. And if true, I hope we don't have to wait too long for them. (C'mon PS2 upscaling...)



As for the last image, just uh, search for 'sweet piece of ash' under google images. ;)

Here's the thing - she's not a porn star. A porn star usually displays their 'assets' and their "physical acting" abilities. She does neither.

oO that simple, not much challenge in hunting down adult actresses these days I guess.

EDIT: she has been busy, no wonder that she could get access to SONY insider knowledge. :D

I was referring to your statement about 1.7 being easily proven wrong, not the leak.

I honest to god thought the same, that she was as soft as soft core can get but nooooo miss Sweet Ash goes that extra step which even I find a bit... Combine that with her being under 18 rather ruined my mood.

Yes! Folders would be nice.

I hate having to go through all my demos to get to the games I bought.

What they need to do is apply the goddamn crossbar concept to the actual folders.

Under music icon > press up/down to highlight desired choice > press left/right to go through the folder contents.

ooh you're right, that'd be sexy.
 
So does anyone have any idea of when this update comes out?

If I can have one thing be fixed though with PS3 after this update it has to be

REDO THE WHOLE UPDATING SYSTEM AND FIX THE WIRELESS DOWNLOAD SPEED.

Make the update as seamless as possible like Live and just make it one little progress bad and that's it. THAT'S IT.

I don't that'll happen. I just don't think the system was designed like that. I think maybe consumers will be turned off by all of that stuff, but I don't know.

I'm guessing if the PS3 has to be reset and the controller has to be plugged in, there is a really good reason for it.
 
ant1532 said:

First of all, the controller has to be plugged in because it turns off all the wireless signals, so it can update FW on everything if need be.

2nd, patches, instead of a complete re-write of FW would generally increase the risk of installation bugs, and thus, bricked systems.

No thanks.


Wireless speed, I agree. Hopefully it's not hardware related slowness.

People get confused by less complex updating systems??? ok.... Sure.

Yeah, but there is not a good reason for the the "I Accept", "Yes", "Yes", "Download", "yes", "Install", ect!

I know there is probably a good reason for the whole reseting a system just like 360 and Wii and anything else.

That's not a justified reason for the controller though.

If it was a lot simpler they would just have one progress bar(50% is downloading, other 50 is installing) and if it really needs to have the wireless signals off(even though 360 and Wii both bypass this issue) it should just turn it off automatically while downloading then reset the system when done with the one simple bar and the controller is back on and viola!

I've heard of bricked Wiis and 360s after FW updates, but not PS3s, have you?

I'd say they're doing something right.

I think there were a couple posts about it here, but I don't know how they ended.

I do agree with the complaint about the constant questions they ask.

The interface is really good, but there are so many things they can do to speed it up and simplify everything.

agreed.

why try and fix something that isn't broken.

the only thing i have heard is that a very very small number of people have had thier PS2 saves become corrupted after a firmware install...but thats easily avoidable if you take the time to back them up.

nothing even close to a bricked system.

Getting bricked from FW updates on 360 and Wii is such a small percent that using that as an excuse for the horrible system of FW updating is a bad reason. And if anyone has the right to say this it is me, 360's break hella more from just being defected not from being caused by FW updates.

I honestly (as well as other people I know) skip out on a majority of the updates because of the horrible experience of doing it. And the wireless connection does not help at all.

If I really want to update I actually have to put it on a memory stick and then install it from there so I don't have to download it via PS3.

All of the issues people had after updating their PS3 firmware turned out to just be the SIXAXIS needing to be reset for the console to recognize it again.

such small percent? if it was such small percent, then it wouldnt be reported...

if you dont want to update because you need to plugin the usb cable, then dont update.

wtf do you do when you have to load another game? or do you play same game over and over... because you know, you do need to go and load that disc...lol.

sweet. 2.0 firmware to enable the ps3's 8th SPE!
 
I wish a firmware would remove the region lock on PSX and PS2 games. That would make importing games a lot easier.
 
From the Three Speech Blog

"Also, the firmware 2.00 update is allegedly coming soon. There is unsurprisingly no detail or even confirmation available at this time, but as we like speculation as much as the next man, why not tell us what improvements you’d like to see to the firmware?"
 
tanod said:

yes... there were bricked PS3s after a fw update.

anyway you have more chances of failing an update because of a power loss than because of a bug in the fw.

especially if the procedure for upgrading the firmware takes something like 5 minutes (and i'm talking about rom writing only, not the whole download process, etc) as opposed to 20 seconds.

:)
 
There were?

I read about some people who was stuck at the update process because they didn't understand that they should press right on the DPAD to go the next screen.

Also Three-Speech isn't written by Sony-people but one would think they would serve as one of the information points for Playstation 3 information.

Like posting details on firmware updates. That is what they should do but they should base it off information coming from Sony and Sony should work to publish this information ahead of time.

A week before the firmware release details are posted on Three-Speech saying that the firmware will come in a week give or take a few days.

link?


To ant1532:

I would argue that there is very large divide between a small percentage (3-5% = other consoles) and 1 or 2 people out of 1,000+ members on GAF (.1%).

Taking in mind that a statistically valid sample is 1004 people. 6 sigma / 99.7% blah blah

Sorry, I can't help myself with this stuff. I'm an accountant and financial analyst for a manufacturing company.
 
any updates to this? the gamer's day NDA is up on thursday? does that mean news articles can start coming out then, or friday? maybe a nice demo or something big will come for this weekends PSN update..
 
tanod said:

eh... some forums... there were some threads even here on gaf. take my word on that :lol

it happens, it not like thousands of PS3s died but it can happen. still if you ask me i take a 20 seconds upgrade process over a 5 minutes one everyday, for the reason i've already explained

:)
 
the update takes no less than 1 minute to install for me. i even watched the time on my last update. including download from Sony site and file copy onto the PS3, maybe a total of 5.

I think it was just people that had their controller screwed up and had the terrible idea to reboot their PS3. Resetting the controller fixes that glitch.
