can we sticky this and just change the number of the update when needed? it'll save time. this will happen with every update and probably has nothing to do with the update. people just need a reason for when things go wrong and i'm betting that one of the 60 million PS3 would have gone wrong during the update anyway.

this reminds me of the halo reach nonsense when people were reporting it had bricked their Xbox360s... it wasn't the game, it was just because the game sells so damn well that the law of averages almost guarantees a percentage of failures when you insert the latest and greatest game that everyone and their dog bought.

these articles are dull, boring and deliberately inciteful.

L.M.A.O, I should approve this just the laughs. I mean, really.

"One user here claimed the whole download process is a little bit slow and despite of his decent internet bandwidth connection, obtaining the latest firmware took him quite some time to complete."

"Meanwhile, if you’ll search twitter, one player reports the new update might break the Netflix app and the process of registering on DC Universe Online. Luckily, ****the problem for the video-streaming app can be remedied by simply uninstalling / reinstalling it.****"

"The last one came from the comment section on EU PSBlog whereas a particular user is still having some issues loading a particular website despite of the “browser improvements” included on the firmware"

That's the US gaming media for ya. These are so minor and all "three" can be fixed by the user (well two, idk what pron site the third was trying to visit).

"that's the US gaming media for ya"

Umm, no. It's a Philippino site, feel stupid now?

Dante1125143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

Yeah, you don't even need to connect to the PSN (SEN) to use Netflix.

@ Jobesy

"Umm, no. It's a Philippino site, feel stupid now?"

In Texas. Texas isn't apart of the US anymore? Do you feel stupid now? XD

darthv725143d ago

is that even a word? I know of insightful and incitable and both mean different things. lol

GribbleGrunger5142d ago

@Darth: yep, it's insightful lol...

MysticStrummer5142d ago

@ darth and gribble - No, he means inciteful. Whether it's a word or not depends on which dictionary you look at, but it's in the Oxford Dictionary.

Army_of_Darkness5142d ago

I actually enjoy browsing the web on my ps3 now:D much faster and works way better!! REDTUBE.com for good quality porn and even writing comments on N4G is a lot better!

Speed-Racer5142d ago (Edited 5142d ago )

I hate to break it to you Dante, but just because a site is HOSTED in Texas does not mean it is a US operated website. It is indeed a Philippino website. There were spamming stories over at TechSpy. I should add that that contributer actually has a numerous accounts.

It's caused issues with the Official Wireless headset.

kneon5143d ago

Mine is working fine.

NiKK_4195143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

What is the issue? I have a pair, but I haven't used them since the update.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the post below. I'm going to have to test this out.

Vortex3D5143d ago (Edited 5143d ago )

That's the issue with mandatory update. If Sony doesn't make everyone update just to be able to use PS3 like before, then no one can say the firmware update broke something.

What if you are standing in front of those PS3 that broke after update, what are you going to say? If this is proven in front of Sony, what are they going to do about it?

The point is Sony makes it mandatory to update to be able to use your PS3 online and play future games and if anything break because of the firmware, too bad.

Has updating PS3 firmware become like sending your car to the shop and they always tell you something needs to be fixed? With car, you don't have to do anything but with PS3, you are required to send it "to the shop" for update even it's working.

Jaybronee5142d ago

After I downloaded the update I immediately got a headache! Had to be from the update! Copy and paste this article after every update. Had my PS3 since day one and never experienced any problems after an update.

Dee_915142d ago

the update cause me to get flat tire

The 4.10 has caused a really annoying issue with the Official Sony Wireless Headset.

Microphone monitoring is now enabled all the time with no way to turn it off, even by muting the microphone on the headset.

It's also causing echoing and an annoying static noise.

I was playing uncharted 3 and I didn't notice aany of these Problems?? Is there something wrong with my ps3 O.o

CynicalVision5143d ago

Well that didn't take long, it seems like every update is met with articles like this.

kreate5143d ago

U dont need to be even connected to the psn to use netflix ....

ProphecyElite5143d ago

The update process took me 10 minutes with my crappy 5 mb download speed DSL. I have had no problems at all.

Thank the gods they updated the browser!!!

thedude445142d ago

irepbtown5142d ago

I sometimes get 8mbps if i'm lucky.
When I go around to my cousins, average is 50mbps.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5752d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905752d ago (Edited 5752d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5752d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5752d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495752d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5752d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5752d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
