What I want/expect from Sony in 2010 :
God Of War 3
Modnation Racers
Gran Turismo 5
The Last Guardian
More social tools for PSN (XGC please be in fw3.20)
= one very happy PS3 gamer :)
Typical PR response. Why cant Sony just give us some info on PS2 emulation on current PS3 sku's? surely they are either a:)release a firmware app to allow us to play our discs or b:) re-release titles via psn store). Also what about PSN premium news? When can we expect it?
Im a UK PS3 owner since launch (60gb died, now on a slim) and im still waiting for XGC ( 3years come march 2010) why is everything so slow with sony these days.
Cut us some slack and give us fans som...
Bayonetta will be my first purchase IF (big IF) they have sorted the framerate. Played the demo from the EU store the other day and I'd be suprised it it was as high as 20fps. I really hope Sony & Sega have fixed the issues in the final code as I saw a glimpse of a cracking game...
Heavy Rain
GOW3
GT5
that will do for me in Q1 2010.
Well written article. I'm a PS3 gamer and as a overall service the PSN holds it's own against Microsofts subscription service. If Sony can release a few more social features in upcoming firmware revisions ( XGC) obviously being the main benefit, PSN will have caught up feature wise.
Ofcourse, online gaming is about gaming,not social tools. So when it boils down to it both consoles offer exactly the same experiances. Sony may edge it with dedicated servers. Also PSN can host bigg...
Guys, just to let you know that the comments made by James with regards to XGC have now been removed from his Blog post. Something fishy is definatly going on......
my impression from that official posting is that cross chat is probably ready but they are just waiting for the greenlight from "uptop" to release. It's taking waay to long though ,but hopefully will make it before year end.
Sony could of cleaned up with cross game chat in this update,but surprise surprise still no mention of it. It would of been a massive blow to Microsoft had this update had incorporated both Facebook and party chat just intime for Christmas
I really thought this was the firmware to have it, that naughty dog dev must feel alittle incomfortable today though after basically confirming it. I predict a riot on the naughty dog forums today!!!!!
My launch machine gave up reading discs on Friday 13th. It was acting strange Thursday when the controllers failed to hold its sync to the console,however that issue fixed itself. The disc read error did not.
So being the PS3 fan i am, I just went out saturday morning and bought a slim with NFS Shift and extra controller for £240. My trophies aint syncing though which is annoying! Any tips??
My broken PS3 is on Ebay, currently have one bid at £105 ( thats for 6...
I for one hope that Reckless Abandon deleted his post because cross chat will be included in the next update but realised what mega news he just let out so deleted his post straight after. I'm confident it will be included in next update,which fingers crossed, will be next week.
Another thread has been made stating maintenace is also taking place Thursday 12th November at the same time with the following titles unavailable for online play....

Im annoyed with paying £42 from shopto.net now knowing i could go to our local sainsbury's and get it for £26! Seems supermarkets are the way forward for big titles!
Gaming-who????
On a more serious note, Sony really should say once and for all their current stance on this feature. Is it coming? Is it not??
ok ok ok, now the cats out the bag as such, when will 3.10 be released?? Previous rumors report this month??? Anyone have any knowledge ?? Thanks
Good review, agreed with pretty much the whole article. I'm still a launch PSP-1000 owner, and to be honest am just not interested in this at all. It's way too expensive in the UK, doesn't offer any kind of value for money compared price wise to a ps3 or 360, and spec wise, I feel my psp -1000 is just as good. IF Sony can get it to a price point of say £140 and not £240, I may be interested but at the moment it seems destined for commerical failure due to it's price point and no sup...
Apart from looking like a dildo, this can't be the final design , it's soo ugly and doesn't go with the Playstation aesthetics at all. Should make it more sleeker kinda like the wiimote , just anything apart from those stupid ball spheres!!!
Ive gave up all hope long ok. Every time there is a rumor regarding cross game chat in a upcoming firmware update it never materialises!
Firmware 3.10 may indeed come in October, but im not holding my breath for this feature.
Dont get me wrong i would love it,and do think its in the works and will be with us somepoint, but I would like it to be clarified from the horses mouth ( why not mentioned at TGS today?) and not as a rumor through a unknown source. Not convinced!!!
Again im from the UK like a few other commenters, and i also do not have a ticker. On my US account i do, but not my main UK account. Must be just a US thing....
I agree with Marquis_De_Sade ..... Everything just seems so halfbaked with their firmware updates. Its like they are just teasing us. Examples like when they added text chat they also gave us the icon for voice chat but just greyed it out.Why?? And now with the friends list,if it is there to integrate with our trophies etc why not update the friends list when they have it all up and running??
@ Nackno
I agree with you , No we do not need those features. They will not make the games any better or worse. But it's nice to have a choice. I'm not bothered at all about custom music, like you said it takes away the mood and ambiance that the developer intended. But alot of people want it. That's my point.
Cross game chat is a social network tool in all honesty and has nothing to do with actual gaming as such, but who can argue the point that it's not a feature t...
very interesting qoutes by the hacker in this article. Basically saying that all PS3's can play PS2 games...
Well i hope he is telling the truth , maybe then Sony will release a firmware revision to allow us to play our PS2 games. Could the software/code have always been there in our PS3, but sony just decided to “turn it off” until the end of the PS2 lifecycle?. IF ( big IF) this is true, ALOT of PS3 owners will be pissed with Sony holding back suge a huge feature…
