How do you delete cookies & cache on this beautiful PS3? Also, is defrag an option. Thanks.

Also, I hope Sony would allow clock / timer / alarm options on the PS3 with an update. I'd like to know what time it is by maybe pressing the PS button from time to time while playing games. Must keep an eye on the clock, you know, to make sure I don't play for too long. It would be cool to be able to use the PS3 as an alarm clock too. Heck, maybe a CD or MP3 alarm clock where you wake up to your favorite music. Why not? If you have it in your bedroom. Maybe a timer feature too to notify you that your 1 hour of alloted game time is up or something, YOU KNOW? Not necessary, but would be cool to have.

After installing this update I can't get UPnP to work. It says "Not available". Anyone know whats wrong here? It worked just fine before. If I can't play Warhawk VERY soon I WILL go crazy.

EDIT: Okay, it works now. That was stupid.

I was able to play WH with no problems after the new firmware.

hella whip6750d ago

Looks like the update means nothing to us Europeans, wonder what playability status means? is it to do with Warhawk or have they stopped the Lair remote play?

Infernus6750d ago (Edited 6750d ago )

My Brother was attempting to play Hitman: Blood Money when the screen saying it's not compatible came up. The game worked before the update, so just wondering what the extent of this playability update is...

I know Sony said they will slowly move away from the PS2 games on PS3 and focus on the PS3 being for PS3 games. So I was expecting it. I have a PS2 though so obviously I can still play Hitman...

Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with PS2 games they used to play?

Btw I live in the UK so this update did affect us Europeans

cuco336749d ago

infernus, if that's true on what you are saying than that's pretty foul

since this is america, i wonder if i can sue sony for the '100% BC, ALWAYS' thing they preached ;)

ReBurn6749d ago

You can sue for anything, but I doubt that you'll be successful since Sony never guaranteed the PS3 to be 100% backward compatible.

WilliamRLBaker6749d ago

actually reburn they did, many times before launch back before e3 2006, such statements we're retracted later though but they did promise it or atleast alluded too it with statements such as FULL backwards compatibility support.

Well, warhawk's server problems are solved for me, so I'm guessing it has to do with warhawk.

reaferfore206749d ago

Won't let me login anymore. WTF!

GoLeafsGo6750d ago

Now we know who the bull****ters are on N4G, as well as at the playstation.com boards.

Haha..flash backgrounds, avi support, controllers auto-off after idle..ahaha..awesomeness!

Wingnut266750d ago

The auto-off on the controllers is happening. I'm not sure when it was implemented, but I have had controllers shutting off while I was watching a movie. And yes, the battery was fully charged and in range of the BT tech.

MikeGdaGod6750d ago

i noticed the auto-off controls a while ago, i knew that wasn't new

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM1d 20h ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum1d 23h ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot1d 19h ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos882d ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long2d ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk2d ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn2d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac2d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long2d ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

isarai_lee2d ago

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

Grand Theft Auto Relied on "Illusions" Over Simulation, According to Obbe Vermeij

The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
