Is Sony ready to launch 2.4?

talkplaystation.com

"Is Sony ready to launch firmware version 2.4 tomorrow? What i mean by this is that almost every Playstation 3 owner will be up tomorrow awaiting the release of 2.4 as this is the most anticipated and talked about firmware update so far.

Lets hope we don't bring down the Playstation Network with the flood of traffic by downloading this new firmware and god knows what file size it is. I assume it will be a pretty hefty download"

Why? And exactly what mods do you mean?

Lifendz6528d ago (Edited 6528d ago )

But in all seriousness, I'll be asleep but I'm going to leave my PS3 on so I can be amongst the first the download it. In-game xmb for the friggin win. PSN has come a long way from that generic web based design to the lush and sleek function it is today. Can't wait to see how much better it is a year from now (movies, tv shows, music, etc).

Capt CHAOS6528d ago

dashboard update. Don't the PS3 community have a similar problem?

Though I think that modded consoles are far fewer in this current generation.

Genesis56528d ago

Well I'm hoping they're ready. It's not like they rushed it out the door. It will probably be slow at first though because of the traffic.

shazam6527d ago

the ps3 has yet to be hacked and there is a single digit number of people on earth who are able to run pirated ps3 games

Utalkin2me6527d ago

Well first off the only server problem there will be is in Europe, where all the ps3 owner's reside. The whole 5 people that own one in the US won't matter.

shazam6527d ago

im one of those 5! does that make me special?!

you are retarded

Yipee Bog6527d ago

I am also one of the five....... Do we get matching jackets???

I hope so because my xbox one is getting a little faded.

I agree schools out, meaning people are going to flood the network for the FW update. I have to wait until I get out of work, and see if I can still get it, and if I do hope it's not to slow to d/l.

I hope it's will be easy to get, as I've been playing warhawk. No update, means no playing online.

Lifendz6528d ago

I usually do the updates overnight. Just leave the PS3 running.

Yoma6528d ago

I think it will be the first time I ever use to download the update from their official site and do it throught memory card :)

joemayo766527d ago

good idea yoma bubbles for you

will116527d ago

@Yoma

I always do this cause by ps3 it could take me from 30min - 3 hours and i dont even want to think how long it will take for 2.40. So i WILL once again be downloading from the site.

yaboi6527d ago

im one of the 5 to.
i can't believe SCEA would put up that video
the other night for only five people.

what a dumbass

It won't be a "hefty download", it'll be the same size as the other firmware downloads.

Lifendz6528d ago

I think he was referring to the significance of the update and the fact that a good many people will be waiting to get 2.4.

Anyone remember the day the Heavenly Sword demo was released? OMFG it took forever to download it. Not because it was particulary big but because so many people were waiting to play the game.

Utalkin2me6527d ago

It shouldn't get flooded cause of 10 people.

ThatCanadianGuy6527d ago

Dude,for real.Your not even funny.at all.
just give it up with the pathetic jokes.

Dc4eVeR6528d ago

Why sony not prepare ?
omfg ...

This firmware is same flood of traffic by downloading like old firmwares ...

mistertwoturbo6528d ago (Edited 6528d ago )

That's very true.

It's not like people could optionally skip the other updates to begin with.

Domenikos6528d ago (Edited 6528d ago )

They already improved many aspects of the online capabilities in terms of download, e.g. GT5 P

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7716d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde23d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy24d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12523d ago (Edited 23d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7725d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga25d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199224d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga24d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger24d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box25d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion24d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7225d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7525d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14925d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7725d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
