Wow, that's barely list worthy.. lol and even one of those "Facebook Integration" is nothing but a shortcut to the Facebook website via the PS3 web browser..

How about some native mkv support Sony? You are supposed to be a media power house that "Only Does Everything" but I can't play any of my mkv media and several other less popular encoding formats.

Still, it's free so that is as much whining as I will do. :)

PirateThom6033d ago

Actually, there's no link on the XMB to Facebook. It automatically uploads your last trophies, purchases and in game events (games pending) to your Facebook account.

Sev6033d ago

True, but we do these with every firmware update. The list is updated as new features are found so we are sure to include everything. So if anyone finds anything else, be sure to post it in the comments section of PlayStation LifeStyle so I can keep the article up-to-date.

Cheers.

Sev6033d ago

As cool of a feature the facebook integration is, I wont be using it. I really don't think my friends and family care about what I am doing on my PS3.

However I'd like to see a PSN social feature similar to facebook itself but within the PS3 friends lsit. Now that I'd use.

GiantEnemyCrab6033d ago (Edited 6033d ago )

Oh, thanks Pirate. I don't use Facebook at all so it just looked like a shortcut.

And I'm just poking fun at the list.. I know more things are discovered as everyone get's a chance to play around in it.

@1.8: Why not legally? I did find a way around it with PS3 Media Server but it's still just re-encoding on the fly.

Bathyj6033d ago

I was going to say pretty much the same thing.

I dont really care about FB, and I want .mkv support.

I just wasnt going to be as whinney about it as you did. Oh well, enjoy your poking.

whothedog6033d ago

I always thought Home should have its own website where you could make your profile and people could view it or update it through Home or the PC. It is for social networking why not have a personal profile along with it.

D4RkNIKON6033d ago (Edited 6033d ago )

"However I'd like to see a PSN social feature similar to facebook itself but within the PS3 friends lsit. Now that I'd use."

Me too, that would be great. PSN having it's own version of myspace or facebook for people to leave public comments that others could read, uploading pictures and having a real profile.

Also I have been listening to Pandora on the PS3 web browser for about 30 minutes. I didn't know it worked and it is pretty cool having access to my friends list and messages while listening to a playlist.

Redempteur6033d ago

mkv support ?

never gonna happen ...
not gonna happen legaly on ps3 , 360 or wii

legal reasons ..give it up ... or use a media server to look your mkvs ...otherwise you're waiting in vain ...

Myst6033d ago

You know that's not a bad idea and would be something I'd like to see.

Noctis Aftermath6033d ago

faster web browser is enough to make me update.

Darkfocus6033d ago (Edited 6033d ago )

why wouldn't it legally happen the new Divx has support for it and they already announced they would like to bring it to ps3 and 360.

Cwalat6033d ago

I am sick of the PSN staff ignoring Avatar support all of a sudden.

Why the hell announce and say that more avatars are coming only to ignore it later on? Eric Lempel himself said "3.00 comes with more avatar support", it's been f***in two months now and not a single extra avatar has popped up!

I dislike the friendlist for one thing, people use the same freakin avatars and it feels outdated after 2-3 days. Same freakin avatars since launch 3 years ago!!!<

I don't like to whine about things, but W T F.... If they have time to add a WORTHLESS feature such as facebook (who even uses it anymore?)... then why can't they add more avatars?

ANYWAYS, PSN updates are free and free updates are always welcome in my book.

Bathyj6033d ago

I never thought we'd get .avi's but we did.

Still the best update yet, for my money.

Myst6033d ago

I whole heartily agree with you, another person and myself seemed to be the only ones who cried for more avatars back when we kept getting update upon update with no new avatars. Each Thursday I'd look forward to some, but every time I felt so let down after finding out that there was none.

I was hoping by now we'd get some more, but I'm starting to think it's becoming less likely that we ( PSN users ) will be getting anything avatar related anytime soon.

Traveler6033d ago

I'd like to see more avatars and more animated themes, but I do like this update overall. Sony is taking away all of Microsoft's talking points. That's not why I like it though, I actually like some of the new improvements. Faster Browser is particularly appreciated.

taco_tom2376033d ago

i found a new feature....if ur ps3 freezes or shuts down wrong u can send a error report to sony when it starts back up

whothedog6033d ago (Edited 6033d ago )

Am I the only one still trying to get this update? The PC download is also not working for me. I just wanted to download BF:BC2 tonight :(

silverbeld6032d ago (Edited 6032d ago )

@giantenemycrab

Are you kidding?

MKV files are crap!

MPEG4 is a lot better and PS3 plays with MPEG4 the real HD deal!

Blu-ray rips plays fine on MPEG4 and it's usually 1,45GB. It plays a lot smoother than Matroska files.

Perkel6032d ago

@ silverbeld

mkv ftw, you an have all languages and all subtitles in one file, hell you can even have diffrent types of subtitles for every person in movie , color style etc.

silverbeld6032d ago

@perkel

MPEG4 FTW.

MPEG4 you also can change subtitles and colors. It's the same. I like MPEG4 cause it plays smoother then Matroska files. And it use less space. You also dont need a high end pc to play it. With my macbook it runs fine on MPEG4 but when i play MKV then it flickers sometimes. And yes i have the right codecs.

And yes I also play it with VLC 1.03

I like the new way they do the photo folders, but why not do the same thing for external drives? The new feature isn't available if you are looking at photos on an external USB drive.

Isis066032d ago (Edited 6032d ago )

I have been waiting for a update that does something for my chaotic 300gb PS3...
this is a step in the right direction but the music/videos still need work.
Would love to see a folder in a folder option over anything else, my music and video categories are messed up!

andrewf916033d ago (Edited 6033d ago )

beat to the punch, ah well good list...

BIGBOSS086033d ago

they fixed the iplayer for uk users aswell, remember it wouldnt show on some ps3's with a certain serial? mines was one of them but after updating and then restarting it showed. not much but still...

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.

solideagle27d 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

Relientk7727d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde34d 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.

Soy35d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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.

Relientk7736d ago

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

Cacabunga36d ago

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

S2Killinit35d ago (Edited 35d 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.

neutralgamer199235d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga35d 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

1nsomniac35d ago (Edited 35d 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.

medman35d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger35d 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_Box36d 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.

robtion35d 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.

darthv7236d 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.

Agent7535d ago

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

S2Killinit35d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14936d ago

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

Lightning7736d 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.
