My biggest bug bear is the visualisations in the media player.. I remember the one on the PS1 which if cruder graphically was way more dynamic to watch. I can only hope the new ones available on PSP make their way acriss but would hope for more.

Also my system is refusing to play lossless audio and instead gives me Dolby D or EX etc.. what setting do I need to use in the PS3 to access. My a\v is full lossless - brand new Onkyo TX605 7.1 hdmi.

I would also like to access different animateed backgrounds.. underwater, in space, burning flames, artic, surise, flying over mountains.. that sort of thing.

I use my PS3 more for multi-media than for games so this would help immensely. I don’t plan to use Home so a more convetional solution would be nice.

also some sort of upgrade to tell the PS3 to pipe down and not make so much blimming noise..

anyone got a list of what to set the settings to - to make advantage of the latest firmware?

Cheers
Jon

I’m disappointed with the ‘re-arrange’ facility. I thought I’d be able to put all those games and demos that are irritatingly noisy (Lemmings, Blast Factor etc.) or change background to something garish (Tekken, Mortal Kombat 2) at the bottom, out of the way, and move the quiet, subtle ones to the top.

I also thought there might be a way to separate demos from downloaded games.

Instead, all we got was two new ways to order them - sort by reverse date and sort by type.

Pathetic.

I still don’t understand where this all started from. The firmware was NOT out in Japan until we got it as well. Despite what many think:

1) All regions have the same firmware image. Sony can say what they want, but a matching md5 sum is proof.

2) All regions get it at the same time. I have the URLs but I won’t give them out. Trust me, if Japan had 1.90 a day early, I would have too

I have to say the communication from the playstation team is brilliant! .. thanks for all the info! and it is great the way you keep updating the system! thank you.
What about being able to share content to other PS3 owners across the PS3 network .. sending photos and videos .. or can this be done? and what about Video conferancing across the network, when the new webcam comes out. thanks again .. its a great system!

Great update, nice to see Sony is really working to please us, the gamers :).
But you know what they say, the more you get the more you want so here is what I’d love to see in the near future:
- Some way to dowload demos via PC to memory stick and then install; I know this presents many challenges, but I think it’s possible.
- Background downloads while playing PS2 or watching DVD/Blu-ray. Even if downloads get slower because of low resources.
- AVI and other video formats. I don’t know how much it costs to license, but I’m certain that Sony can cut a good deal since it will be mass distributed, also, I know must of us are willing to pay for it as long as it reasonable.
