Hydrolex6410d ago

who is my Home Coming queen ?

Peter Griffin6410d ago

The future and guaranteed win for the PS3 lies in its consistent software updates

callahan096410d ago

I just went to check "Community" on Resistance 2, and it said System Update required. So, I'm updating now. 2.52 is out, just so you all know. (No idea what it does yet, though)

Dir_en_grey6410d ago

and ever since 2.5 it double spaces instead of single space regardless if I am in Japanese or English mode...
Haven't updated yet but hopefully that's what they were saying when talking about the keyboard problem.

therealwillie6409d ago

when i use my keyboard sometime it can freeze..... but you can still use the controller (you can move the page in the background on the browser), you just can't exit the text input.... no key works on the keyboard, basically i have to reset the whole time, hope thats what they're on about

HardcoreGamer6409d ago

before ps3 was able to play music and able to browse the net at the same time.

but this got taken off. and you couldnt

but the firmware now 2.52 has brought that back. Finally i dont know wny they took that off, i was also hoping that you could access xmb while watching video (it just pauses now) i used to always watch and message, but its gone. its been gone before the new couple of updates, but i want it back damit

Lifendz6409d ago

forgive me for sounding like an old timer, but I remember when PSN was nothing but a quasi-web page that you navigated using your controller to move a cursor. Now it's a sleek, fast, and intuitive interface and it's still free. In my day we got hit with firmwares every other week. Some did nothing...most did nothing....but after 2.4 it seems like the majority of PS3 owners want something major from each firmware. Heck, I remember when most of us were excited to have the upscaler for DVDs.

Just shows how far Sony has come with PS3. I wonder if people will still complain about insignificant firmware updates when PSN offers all the services of live and is still free.

Bubble Buddy6409d ago

I have a LBP trophy glitch. Will this fix it >.<. I'm stuck at 31% for LBp trophies.

kopicha6409d ago

well said. this is some post that makes most sense after a long long time. i have never see such a logical post from a person ever since the entire world got corrupted by fanboys. bubble for you. anyway honestly i felt the same way as you do. but then again u know people never learn to appreciate and only know how to complain and biatch about every small little thing but never turn around and think about what they have contribute on their end and only biatch about what they want and not getting them.

callahan096408d ago

Why the hell did somebody give me a disagree on my comment up above? I normally don't ask questions like that, I just let it slide because I know this website is filled with opinionated people, but how the hell are you going to disagree with me? I stated that 2.52 is out. If you don't believe me, go check System Update and download it yourself. Gee whiz.

SmokedOut6410d ago

Its available now in the u.s so its probably ready everywhere, downloading now...

Spike476410d ago

bring it with a more important update or is the next update a really big one.....say maybe HOME? ;)

meepmoopmeep6410d ago

Home isn't totally linked with FW updates
people have been using the beta for a while.

but i do expect a small FW update prior to Home to address minor things.

Ps3Fanboy7776410d ago

I use to like these but im tired of downloading, then installing. Im done ill update once every 4 or 5 updates its just gotten to annoying.

Max Power6410d ago (Edited 6410d ago )

take a shower, surf the web, or watch tv. do you think this is going to go away the next generation?

plain rice6409d ago

Yeah wtf? There's also the auto shutdown feature for some of you lazy mofo's.

jtucker786409d ago

Or move to Europe...

...I downloaded 2.50 in about 30 seconds.

creeping judas6409d ago

or get a N564 or PS1, guaranteed to not require any updates!!!!!

lawgone6409d ago

I agree. The people who aren't complaining about the updates must never have done one on the 360. The download is so much faster (i.e., smaller file) and the installation takes place as it downloads. I can't understand why Sony can't make their firmware updates smaller in size. I'm willing to bet that the major update for the 360 interface will install more quickly than this does. And no, I'm not a 360 fanboy...just speaking the truth.

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.

solideagle25d 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

Relientk7725d 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.

DarXyde32d 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.

Soy32d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12532d ago (Edited 32d 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.

Relientk7734d ago

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

Cacabunga34d ago

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

S2Killinit33d ago (Edited 33d 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.

neutralgamer199233d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga33d 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

1nsomniac33d ago (Edited 33d 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.

medman33d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger33d 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_Box34d 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.

robtion33d 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.

darthv7234d 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.

Agent7533d ago

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

S2Killinit33d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14933d ago

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

Lightning7733d 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.
