1. If this firmware doesn’t have in-game messaging, then I despair, i really do. Sony aren’t doing themselves any favours, and the lack of in-game messaging is a glaring error on their part.

7. I hope there’s more to the information you were promising yesterday than this..

   ANYONE could have told us this. We’ve known about remote powering on-and-off of the PS3 using PSP since TGS.

   
   Comment by Ungot — Nov 2, 2007 @ 1:16 pm

8. oh, and it makes me nervous that the only feature you have teased us with is the power to turn on the ps3 from my psp. Pretty useless unless I want to convinve my girlfriend that the house is huanted.

   
   Comment by russ — Nov 2, 2007 @ 1:16 pm

9. ye you told us yesterday you would have more info today. this is just a rehash of what you said in one of the posts yesterday, and we know remote on/off is coming from the psp 3.72 firmware details that have already been released.

    seeing as it is “semi official” you’d think this’d be the case.

    however, it seems that “completely unofficial” random sites around the net get more info and faster than this place.

24. I hope the new firmware includes full Blu-ray 2.0 spec compatibility. I think the deadline is about to be reached where every Blu-ray player being sold is required to support it.

    I say bring on the new Blu-ray movies that take advantage of the new advanced specs and finally give HD-DVD the final kick to the balls.

25. @ 14 - I agree. Thats another good update and it feels like things are on the up. Seems like a lot of good stuff is coming to me.

    
    Comment by razr — Nov 2, 2007 @ 2:08 pm

26. I guess if it’s 2.0 it should be a fairly major update then? I can cope without home, although music in game and friends list in game would be great.

    Additionally things like better options for sorting music/photos would be good too.

    Obviously there will also be the update to allow rumble!

    Wasn’t there talk of them compacting the firmware so more system resources could be used on games, which in turn would allow friends lists whilst in game? That’d be a good move.

    I’m very positive about this update, as the firmware is one area where Sony have done well. They’ve added truely useful features and turned the PS3 into a media centre. Hmm DivX would be mightily useful actually !

    Looking forward to hearing more about this Three Speech, so keep us up to date on it if you could !

    Thanks!

28. V2.0 isn’t gonna be the amazing update that was touted in the summer.
    Most of the major functions have already been trickled out. Can’t say that I’m that exited at the prospect of switching on My PS3 with My PSP…

    
    Comment by Divine — Nov 2, 2007 @ 2:49 pm

29. All other features beside ingame messaging and invites are not wanted really, in my opinion of course. They’re bonuses, but all we really want is ingame messaging and game invites. Priority 1 I’d say.

    I have friends on my list, but I never make use of it, because it’s such a hassle to get several people into one game.

    I’m getting tired of waiting for this.

    And if Sony will force use to use Home just to get into a game with a group, but still won’t allow ingame messaging and game invites…I’ll not be pleased to say the least.

    But again, that’s my opinion.

31. Any chance that the uPnP will work properly? At the moment it’s only seeing about half the stuff on my Mac for no obvious reason - even stuff encoded for the PS3.

    
    Comment by Adam J — Nov 2, 2007 @ 3:52 pm

32. It’s unlikely Sony would release FW 2 without at least one big feature.
    PSP remote switch on would be nice to start downloads while I’m at work. My PS3 uses wireless so it will be interesting to see if this setup works.
    But I wouldn’t consider this a vital feature.
    Personally I’d quite like to see RSS feeds and individual game backup/restore.

    
    Comment by Ian — Nov 2, 2007 @ 3:55 pm

33. Its been 1 year since the PlayStation 3 first launched.
    -That should be enough time for the PS3 team to bring the firmware up to speed with all the features it should have had from the outset. Where is the in-game XMB?

    Call of Duty 4 is launching next week on PS3 & 360. As a multi-console owner despite the fact that 360 online gaming regularly lags and pauses im considering the 360 version. Because i can message my friends in-game, invite them to play, and have the extra value of Achievements.

    SONY HAS GONE SILENT about online features. Yes there is HOME, but that’s delayed until next year. What about a 2D version of the PS Trophies? What about somebody from Sony to tell us what the plan is? What about Phil Harrison giving us an interview and outline of whats in store?

    Hello? HELLO?

43. I thought they was saving FW2.0 for when they bring out home.
    Yh in game messaging to you online friends, not just text but speach, is a must.
    I think this remote stuff with the psp is pretty interesting but unless they up the anti on free wifi connection within all our towns and cities its pretty useless in Europe, This is definatly aimed more at JP and SK.
    To be honest I cant realy think of anything else I would like in this FW update, obviously apart from home, so come on Sony a few nice surprises would be a massive bonus.

    
    Comment by BENNE77 — Nov 2, 2007 @ 6:03 pm

44. does anyone remember the ps blog with one of the updates over the summer. they said that they had taken into consideration 3 major things everyone wanted in firmware. they didnt say what the top 3 things were at the time, but one was background image on on the xmb. so im guessing the other 2 are in game soundtrack and in game xmb (thats just A GUESS by me). i remember the said they were working on the other 2 and one was to be released in the next big update. pretty sure i read that on the ps blog…im gonna go look now.

45. Slightly veering in topic but ….

    I read originally (some time ago) that the launch Firmware v2.0 was supposed to coincide with that of “Home”.

    We have since heard that Home has been delayed until Q1 2008.

    Do you have any more updates on Home and the progress being made please?

    Also will the Beta trial ever be opened up …

48. It’s been said a million times, but it hasn’t made a difference yet. This is 2.0! It should be a huge update and without IN-GAME MESSAGING (including voice message) and IN-GAME CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS the PSN will continue to be a sad shadow of Xbox Live. For your own sake, Sony, DO IT NOW!

    
    Comment by greendublin — Nov 2, 2007 @ 7:24 pm

49. Hey guys, have you not thought that developing an ingame XMB would be pretty tough? That it would take a lot of work?

    Tbh I’d like to see you lot produce an in-game XMB as good a standard as Sony’s will eventually be. And I’d like to see you produce it as fast as you seem to demand it. The CELL processor is a tough biatch to develop for at the moment because it’s new, whereas the Xenon has been around for a while.

    Quit whining. It makes you look stupid. Shut up.

50. i refuse to get excited about firmware updates anymore, i expect this one will contain ‘themes’. in game screen resolution changes on the ps button, the time and date!?, better upscaling, and a few more file supports.

    then a patch a week later to fix all the problems.

    i’ve been let down too many times to care anymore.

    Comment by Russ — Nov 2, 2007 @ 8:53 pm

53. I don’t care about in game messaging or custom soundtracks. I never use them on 360.

    -More Codecs
    -Convert any movie (including DVD/BRD) to PSP format. PSX did this (though not to DVDs) PS3 should. And let us watch DVD/Bluray over remote play, its not like we can pirate that way anyway. Besides, if we wanted to we could pirate in linux
    -Time/Date in the top right hand corner like PSP
    -Custom themes like PSP
    -Serve as a wifi hotspot while in the XMB
    -The remote should work when you’re not in the music player. If I start playing a song, then go to the photo viewer, buttons like pause no longer control the music.
    -Rip PS1 CDs to PSP. We own them. We can do it in Linux. Let us do it by your hand
    -Bluray 1.1 spec

57. it’s not moaning, it’s constructive criticism

    and i guess like me people are fed-up with the Sony mind games, either give us the facts or don’t bother saying anything. Sony knows damn well what is going into the FW2.0 and they won’t be changing anything this close to roll-out so why not just let us know what it’s gonna contain instead of all the secrecy.

    all i want from 2.0 is the ability to organise my files and create folders!

    personally i’d be surprised to see Home and LBP before this time next year.

60. Okay, look Three Speech, the other day you promised a press release (see image above) which would obviously include details.

    Why would you post something we’ve already known since the PSP release of 3.72 and that is not even a major feature update?

    Why not post about in-game XMB? Cross-game invites? In-Game Messaging, PSN Features, and Soudntrack? PSN Category under the XMB? Why won’t you reveal or bring about the features the PS3 owners really need.

    Respond!
