Finally Sony are doing something right with the Blog updates! Its nice to know certain things from time to time, and at least this time they have listened to and acknowledged the punters and are dealing with the issue, and fairly quickly it has to be said. Must do more blogs more often, i don`t think Playstation owners would feel quite as distant or "left out" so to speak. I think Sony should of had a blog of some sorts in place long long ago, but heres hoping they continue.

TaylorB6909d ago

I wouldn't anticipate Firmware 2.0 until E3. There might possibly be a 1.9 with hopefully an XMB update which will allow more organization of Media Center stuff.

TheExecutive6909d ago

2.0 could actually be the Home update in September... it would be a good time to do many updates

blackmagic6908d ago

I agree, 2.0 will most likely come with home...

Vagrant_16909d ago

can only hope so my game tab is gettin kinda long

Close_Second6909d ago

Seems like every other day Sony is releasing a new patch for their O/S. Nothing wrong with fixing bugs and introducing new capabilities but it must have been a bare bones O/S when it was first released.

How do users who are not connected to the internet get the latest patch released?

Snake_Doctor6909d ago (Edited 6909d ago )

more frequent. Just making sure.
I say keep the features coming!!
Hey Voltron... Jealous Much?

weekapaugh6909d ago

"How do users who are not connected to the internet get the latest patch released?"

can be downloaded by any computer than saved to a usb device and uploaded to the PS3.

anh_duong6909d ago (Edited 6909d ago )

every ps3 update contains some form of an enhancement - 1.81 is supposed to improve ps2 compatibility.

i rather an update every week then an update every six months when this is the case.

"How do users who are not connected to the internet get the latest patch released? " - write a letter to/phone sony and they will send them an update/get an update from work/friend onto a memory card.

masterg6909d ago

Updates are also on the games. Meaning you will do an upgrade when buying a new game.

hi,can somebody help me....i want to know if some of you have the same problem that i have with my ps3.....it happen maybe once each 3-4 hours of play time...the problem is that the controller "jam"..just like i am losing the signal,and everytime it last for 4-5 sec...i called sony and they said they never heard about it before,but the problem is its my 2nd ps3 and i had the same problem with the other one!i would like to know if some of you had the same problem and how did you fix it! and i hope the upgrade 1.81 will fix it!thank you

Snake_Doctor6909d ago

I think it happened to me a couple times when playing resistance. Or maybe I sucked back then. Post it to the new playstation blog site. It may be a wireless issue. I'm not sure.

Jamaicangmr6909d ago

Or maybe the problem is with the controller itself. When you changed your PS3 did you change the controllers along with it?

crystallakekiller6909d ago

yes i did...i tried with 3 different controllers..and it always do the same thing,i know that some people had the same problems,its really annoying!now i play with the controller pluged in!i just want to find a solution,i've already changed my ps3,i dont want to change it again!did you ever have the same problem?

Jamaicangmr6909d ago

Well it happend to me once or twice when i just got my PS3 and Resistance but it hasn't happened since like the 1'st week of me gettin my PS3. It used to happen when someone would open my bluetooth headset when i was playin. Maybe the game would just freeze up or the character would just be spining and i'd have to restart but i don't have that issue anyomre. I've had my PS3 for 2 months now. Since you've changed your PS3 and controllers as well am not sure what it could be. This is really weird, does anyone else here think they can help our friend out?

masterg6909d ago

It sounds to me like it some foreign object that is causing this problem.

Maybe you have something in your home that blocks the signal or maybe your neighbour does.

Bleyd6908d ago

can cause this kind of intereference. Is your PS3 within 50 feet of a microwave? Most likely it is. Bluetooth jumps around the 2.4 GHz bandwidth by design and when it encounters a section of the bandwidth that's causing problems it jumps away. The problem with microwave ovens is that their interference is so broad spectrum that it's extremely difficult to get any kind of quality signal through or around it's area of influence. The best method of correcting this interference is to shield your microwave better than it is now by putting up a sheet of aluminum or copper mesh appropriately. For example, I'm going to be doing this on the wall behind the microwave because that wall is directly in-between the ps3 and the microwave in my home.

crystallakekiller6908d ago (Edited 6908d ago )

thank you guys for the help...good advise for the microwave....and now that i think about it,my cellphone use bluetooth!maybe it one of the reasons why it does that!anyways,thank you!

devi8i6908d ago

Interference on the 2.45 Ghz is the prime culprit here. MIcrowaves, cell phones, and cordless house phones all ride on the same frequency and are equally capable of causing interference. Bluetooth is also natively passive meaning it will allow for other traffic/intereference to clear before transmitting. Although later revisions of bluetooth protocol allow for spread-spectrum functionality in order to prevent latency due to interference and other traffic in the spectrum, bluetooth can still lose its pairing and connectivity while switching frequencies and or waiting on traffic.

If you continue to have problems I would look for devices in your home that share the same spectrum and try to move them or shield them.

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.

solideagle15d 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

Relientk7715d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde22d 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.

Soy23d 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.

Relientk7724d ago

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

Cacabunga24d ago

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

S2Killinit23d ago (Edited 23d 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.

neutralgamer199223d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga23d 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

1nsomniac23d ago (Edited 23d 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.

medman23d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger23d 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_Box24d 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.

robtion23d 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.

darthv7224d 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.

Agent7523d ago

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

S2Killinit23d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14924d ago

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

Lightning7724d 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.
