The PS3 Does Less Than It Did

If you haven't heard by now, a new PS3 Firmware (v3.21) Update will be released on April 1, 2010. With it comes nothing new as in added features. What this update will do though is disable a feature, the "Install Other OS" feature that was available on the PS3 systems prior to the current slimmer models.

With this Update, it might be a good time for Sony to drop the tag line "IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING" because over the years they have removed a few features from the PS3 that some people care about.

I do believe those Ads show a PS3 slim which never had other OS support to begin with.

The majority never used it anyway so I think most of the controversy is coming from fanboys.

LordMarius5934d ago

another lame blog, probably written by one of your fellow N4G 360 fanboys

Johnny Rotten5934d ago

Great, what's next? let's hope they don't remove the USB printer option. lol

...better yet, let's hope they don't remove the voice changer option!

mrv3215934d ago

Sony are removing sparkles next another key features EVERY game console needs (but only the PS3 has) and NO ONE uses and very few care about.

LET'S ALL MAKE A BIG FUSS.

Sure the option is nice but what would you rather. PSN and your account being hacked with the possibility of hacking your PS3 or loose other OS a feature near no one uses on a regular basis... SINCE.

To install other os you need a computer, you can install linux on the PC to.

ArcFatalix5934d ago

did they? what a spin on everything.

mushroomwig5934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

No they didn't, why? Because it was never a popular feature.

I wouldn't be surprised if people created this much fuss if Sony decided to remove the voice changer feature. xD

Anything that makes Sony looks bad is a bonus for this site.

ActionBastard5934d ago

I think it does something better...security. You don't see Eric Lempel's PSN account hacked do you?

Godmars2905934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

Nor do you see pirated PS3 games.

Heck, for that matter most of what the PS3 does do it does it itself. The 360 needs online/XBL just to compete.

and still does more than the rest

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.

solideagle60d 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

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.

DarXyde67d 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.

Soy68d 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.

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

Cacabunga69d ago

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

S2Killinit68d ago (Edited 68d 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.

neutralgamer199268d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga68d 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

1nsomniac68d ago (Edited 68d 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.

medman68d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger68d 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_Box69d 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.

robtion68d 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.

darthv7269d 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.

Agent7568d ago

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

S2Killinit68d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14969d ago

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

Lightning7769d 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.
