The Latest Firmware Update?

[Assassin3]

Well...
I have sorta noticed a trend with updates.. usually the last week of the month and sometimes on the last thursday of the month...

So whats the odds on a new firmware this thursday? just curious and i havent seen anything out yet about them...

im not saying its gonna be 2.0 but it could be 1.91 or something?
any news?

[Simon]

I heard the next one was def 2.0. And we usually hear about them a few days before right?

yeah thats usually what happens.. but like i said i havent seen anything so maybe its not this week?

[Simon]

probably not for a month or two imo. It comes with Home so.. i doubt it.

[Stoffinator]

Doesn't seem like we will be getting one this month. If we do, I doubt it will be 2.0 being we haven't heard anything about it. So if there is, it will be a minor fix or detail.

[daLa]

Haven't heard anything about it yet, guess it's not coming anytime soon.

[Assassin3]

ahhh.. the sooner Home comes the better tbh.. i want in game music lol!!!
imagaine Warhawk with your favourite song blasting out.. man i love it haha

If the next update does not include in-game xmb, i WILL weep.

I kinda think different from you all. Sony has been doing a lot of stuff the last minute, and with them not telling us... They will save from a lot of lag. Can you imagine how many people will force a download of HOME... Knowing that there is one 50,000 open slots from HOME Beta... Remember the completed version is not until october. And they did say it would be at the end of August. Sony love the last minute supprise. I dont know. Maybe 2.0 will be out a 12:00am... Just check and see.

I don't see anything happening until 2.0, they will want to hold off until then to make it seem like a great update, which it will be...I hope

[cheungms]

why does everyone think there will be a firmware update? due to the firmware update for the Panasonics (http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=435) i think the ps3 should be due...but who knows...

what all is speculated about the update?

so far i have read:
in-game xmb
bd-j enhancements (blu-ray)
HOME

anybody have anything else??

[Arsenal4Ever]

no-one said there was a firmware update, we are saying why isnt there one yet?

I think no update till V2.0

[nqwazi]

Always looking forward to an update but to be honest not interested in personalised soundtracks, the first thing i do in any game is turn off the music.

[Arsenal4Ever]

personilazed sound tracks will do well with certain games like MS or LBP and also NFSPS

yeah we're not saying there is going to be one... we're just speculating that there possibly might be one seeing as though they usually fall within the last week of each month?

i do hope we got some kind of update whether it be big or small, just so that theres something new with the PS3 for a while lol heck i got excited when i found out i didnt need to leave my bed to eject a disc haha

[Arsenal4Ever]

our console is sweet though, cant wait till 2.0, reminds me of DR KamiKazi."Robotboy."

[Assassin3]

the ps3 is the only console that gets firmware updates isnt it? (not including the handhelds like the psp etc)

i mean i havent heard of M$ giving away firmware updates?!

[Arsenal4Ever]

they have term updates 2wice a year which is crap, they only get 1 or 2 new features. i believe sont has won the war and it hasn't even began yet.

definatly.. soon devs will be noticing the true advantages of blu-ray and what the PS3 has to offer even if they havent already..

such as Insomniac, who are a great game developing company, with games such as Resistance and Ratchet & Clank... they're puttin the PS3 through its paces every time they make a new game...

and firmware updates will play a big part for these kinda devs

[Arsenal4Ever]

exactly aswell, all i can say is 360 owners are jealoyus of our blu-ray, and im no fan boy becasue i like both consoles but 360 breaks every 5 seconds so ps3 is far better.

[TGO]

If there is a update, it will be released tonight

[Arsenal4Ever]

or tomorrow night. maybe even 31st

[Dasildon]

A nice snippet I got from the Official PS3 mag was that the guys that deal with the updates reckon they'll be able to get another 30-40% processing power out of the PS3 through the firmware updates.
And it'll be a gradual increase over a period of time.

So it's gonna be another year or two before Sony's baby is anywhere near full power, then another year or so for the devs to use it.

After reading this, the ten year life span Sony are talking about seems like a reality. I'm glad I chose this kiddie as much as I like some of the Xbox games.

[Doc Evils]

There's a high chance 2.0 will come out with Home that would possibly allow features such as Home access from in game XMB?

[Cody]

*sigh* this is what the forums are coming too? every thread about PS3 always ends up with something about 360 being crap. Is it possible our members are fearing the 360 success?
