it is nice but i think they could have somthing where you can buy some of the ps2 games off the store and if you already have the game on disc you can just download support for the game for the 40gb ps3,they should also make it so you can voice chat while playing a game or while surfing the net or watching a video.
lol 2.4 is was so hyped and i wated sense day 1 for this feature i was so excited intell i updated and there was no Custom soundtracks with any games and trophies for only 1 game wtf?? In game xmb is nice a nice feature but im really dissapointed
Why do people take the whole 360 vs Playstation 3 rivalry so seriously?
From what I can see online not a huge amount of systems have been affected. Any of the people I know that have updated there's have been working fine.
this dumb cock sucker here i have a 60gb ps3 i got that fuckin update on tuesday and it fucked over my ps3 now it wants me to format my ps3 which im afraid to do cause it says im going to lose my saved data and when i do load up my ps3 i have lost everything 100% gta iv gone 100% motorstorm gone almost 100% mgs4 gone fuckin gay ass sony they better fix this little fuck up of theirs otherwise im going to be really pissed if i i have to pay to get this fixed
this fucking update 2.40 sucks, the music cant play at the same time when you play, this have to be better, i just wanted to update that for music playing in the game.
Here's my last comment about the state of PS3 as a gaming console. Up until just recently, there was no game on PS3 that made the system a must have. Myself and others have found ways to reap the rewards of owning a PS3 that go above and beyond gaming. In the next 6-12 months, PS3 will finally come into it's own, and be the must have gaming console. Resistance 2, Killzone 2, RE 5 (just to name a few) will truly show what PS3 is capable of. For now though, the "update" serves me no purpose.
i agree, ps3 is fantastic for music, blu ray videos, and pictures, seeing as you can even transfer files from an ipod or watever which is great. although ps3 isnt as great for gaming and online features.
i've never turned my 360 off for the past 2 years,overheating is the users fault for putting it on carpets and vinyl surfaces. but seeing this update, i may get my ps3 back from ma friend.
Same with me. I have not turned off my 360 for 1 year now. I have it standing up. On a hard surface. With plenty of space to breath. Perfectly Fine. But I dont care about console wars. I own ever console. So for all the nerds out there. Go get a nerdgasm for console wars. -_______-
I will admit that I haven't played MGS4 (though I eventually will), but otherwise games like GTA4 and GT5P sit on my shelf collecting dust. My comment about the update being meaningless has more to with PS3's gaming content and less to do with the new 2.40 features. Most if not all the games right now (including MGS4) will not utilize any of them. These games can patch the features, but I doubt most will (Uncharted already has it's own trophy system in place).
I have to say that I'm not impressed, and that's coming from a loyal Playstation owner who cannot stand Microsoft. Other than being able to play my own music, there's nothing else I'd even consider using in this update. In fact, unless I'm able to web browse without exiting a game, the update is meaningless to me. I guess I'll just continue using my PS3 as a media center, because Sony has obviously conceded this generation to both XBox and Wii when it comes to gaming.
rambojr03..you really are an idiot aren't you? why the hell would you want to surf the web and play a game at the same time? what would that prove? that you like to cheat?
Cheat? That would only apply if I actually wanted to play a game, which frankly I don't due to how lackluster the gaming content has been for PS3. In fact, the only game I've enjoyed has been Uncharted. Everything else is sub-par (including GTA IV, GT5P, R&C Tools of Destruction, and so on). It's amazing to me that PS2 is by far the better gaming console, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
I never said PS3 was the worst system. What I am saying is it's arguably the worst "gaming" system among the three. Having said that, I'd recommend someone buy a PS3 just for the media center aspects of the system. I spend more time watching movies on my system than I do playing games, and don't see that changing anytime soon. A flash drive, Bit Torrent, and a PS3 console are all you need. If not for this capability, I'd be putting the system back in the box.
I haven't, but then again I don't have linux installed on my PS3 either. I just use a conversion program on my computer to edit the movies so as to watch them on PS3. PS3 Video 9 from Red Kawa is a good program for doing that. I convert those avi files that do not work on PS3 (and that happens only so often anymore) to MP4, which always works on PS3.
This update, by bringing the #1 asked for feature, shows that Sony cares about its customers and improving its system. Mgs4 is the best game I have ever played on any of the current gen consoles, and LittleBigPlanet will be my next favorite, then Resistance 2, and then they'll announce some other amazing game. I actually prefer the Ps3 for its game library and online. Use your PC for internet browsing, besides it would be a pain pausing your game and opening the browser over and over again.
