There are only 3 things mentioned on the update and none of them is the IMage Capture feature… I guess it was just a rumor…..

Comment by [T_S]Manutd
2008-10-16 12:25:39

Yes there is an image capture feature but its up to the game developers to decide whether they include it in their game or not.. so most of the games that will be coming out will hopefully include it :D

Comment by boldizzle
2008-10-16 16:27:53

yeah… just like the in-game xmb was up to the developers to include in-game music…

such a rip, i still can’t believe sony didn’t add all these features from the start.

PLEASE, PLEASE upload it here..its been 20 min now and its only 10% **cries**

Comment by Nicko01
2008-10-15 06:58:06

That’s what it is always like when a firmware gets released. It’s because Sony’s update servers are getting loaded by requests. Just wait a bit and it will go faster.

psp-gal-14,

Grow the fuck up and deal with it.

I’m stuck out in the fucking rural area of Atlantic Canada and stuck on Dial-up, it takes me a fucking day to download the update so fucking deal with it.

You incompetent ignorant bitch.

Many many people in my situation would be grateful to have it done 10% in 20 minutes.

Stupid Ho. Heh.. “gal”… I bet anything that it’s some 12 year old brat posing to be a chick, meanwhile it some confused gay dude. Man would that be funny.

nice comment, except the religious part. why does man need to believe in something that is greater than himself? man is great enough on his own, only some so-called- prophets instilled mankind with an inferiority complex. trust in yourself, believe in yourself, and you will have no need for false gods.

i know this isnt the place, but say your mother was suddenly taken ill and the hospital said its 50/50 she makes it through the night, i know at somepoint i would say to myself, ‘god if you really do exist, please please save my mother’, at that moment in my life i would have been truly helpless to change the course of life, i dont practice religion or believe in it as such, but why would i do this. with thought and understanding came the need for reason and explanation, enter the bible. incidently in the scale of the universe we are smaller than atoms in comparison but we have achieved some amazing feats, enter ps3 :)

For the atheist —
You may not believe in God today, but when you are burning in hell, you will believe in him then, but then it will be too late, You better make sure you got what it takes before you die.

“god if you really do exist, please please save my mother”
LOL are you serious, I’ve been in a hole in Iraq with missles/mortars whizzing over my head watching shit blow up all crazy like.
NOT ONCE did God come into my head, I had to react to the situation myself, not depend on something else to keep me safe. If he really doesn’t, as the book says, alter freewill, then how can you attribute anything that you get from others to a “God”?

I always hear people saying, well god gave me this, when it really was just a bunch of people helping out/giving them things, it’s a complete contradiction and you know it.

If some dude holds a knife to your throat and demands a wallet, your god can’t alter that situation, you better hand that fool your shit before praying. Cuz you’re the only one that can save yourself.

You can tell us to believe/repent/be a fool, but do we tell you that you need to disbelieve… don’t think so, we just laugh as you waste your time/life :D

To bum -
Only time will tell. But I pormise you will know there is a GOD and you will believe there is a hell when you are burning in it. I am just sorry for you. And no I do not believe it’s a complete contridiction. Why would God help some person that does not believe in him. Whether you believe in something or don’t does not mean its not there.
You will remember reading this and will pray and wish that you would have listened to me. I am telling you will die in your sins and will regret it for eternity.

 
Comment by Bum
2008-10-19 17:16:53

“Why would God help some person”

God does not help people. It says he can’t alter freewill and everything in your life is a direct result of actions from others that affect you.

From the move that your great great grandparents decided to make, to the car they bought, to the job they worked at, to the food they ate, to the birth of your parents, the moves they made, food, car… blah blah blah. GOD DID NOT DO ANY OF THAT.

God is not making those people act, they are doing it of their own accord and it just so happens that you are in the direct wave of effect from those actions.

So anytime you attribute anything to god, think about how he has nothing to do with the place you’re in or what is happening around you.

Done.

lol u have some strange hollywood image of god who owes it to u to help u always, well if u think thats so then u dnt knw religion at all, god is the name given to the being that created everything at the start and if u think we all jus randomly appeared then ur talkin aload of illogical bullcrap. religion is a set of rules to teach u about humanity not say a prayer like some magic spell in a movie and magically fly away out of trouble !

“god if you really do exist, please please save my mother” lmao why not say “SCIENCE if you really do exist, please please save my mother” eh ? u will get far less from science i guarantee u that but even so god created all INCLUDIN SCIENCE so nerr

God always wins

to everyone above me…i know there’s a god, i know there’s a hell….cuz i don’t believe we came from nothing just from one day or another…i know there’s someone out there that made us like this idk by its own personality like it says in the bible but if you wanna reach and believe in something don’t relay on god he gave you head to be smart enough to find a solution, to be pacient, to be realistic,to be optimist,and hands to write make stuff and for some reason ppl doesnt know how to use it,…..so if you guys want to tell oh u going to get punish for all your sins or u atheist i feel sorry for you cyz u dont believe in god or, scince proves that god ain’t real…..let me guys put it this way without God it wouldn’t science cuz ppl will always try to prove that science made us…..without bible there will be so many f-king dudes making crime……so how i was saying if there’s evil,there’s also good….pain,love hate,fear,etc so we make our own world we live in both heaven and hell our earth….and one day may be we’ll find out if god exist or not we just gotta wait….peace out all!!!

It is possible to use dial up at ps3.
All ya need is to use the pc’s fax modem to dial up, and bridge the connection through ethernet.

It definitly works, though its fuking useless.
Who would like to download something from psn through dial-up?
Most of those things are OVER 9000 mb, it would take months to dl anything, with a high probablity of connection timing out, o other dial-up problems.

Comment by baha
2008-10-15 15:19:46

Yes……..for some reason, people don’t realize that this thing will never be fully hacked.

FW UPDATES ! with the PSP, you dont gotta update……with the PS3 is almost mandatory.

You’d be a pretty damn ignorant fool to think that Sony doesn’t have an ear to the ground on all these PS3 forums that talk about hacking and modding.

They see/hear the security flaws in the FW, and then update and remove them. Simple.

With the nature of the console…..Sony will always have the upper hand.

If you look at the some info about “Network Security”…you’ll see that the main purpose is not “Block all security threats!”……its worded more like “Make the potential gain unprofitable when compared to the work/risk associated with making that gain”

Therefore…….Yeah,sure, someone might find away around….but it would be so damn cumbersome to make it work properly…..So no one would waste their time doing it. If you were around in the early days of PSP hacking, you’ll know how tricky and annoying it was to get some games running.

If you don’t agree with me your racist.

yes u can hook a PS3 to dial up. use a pc to dial up then configure it to share the internet.

then on ps3, set the gateway to the that PC IP address.. TADA.. but there is more thing need to be done technically… need to know how to use Internet Sharing Feature. but the logic is the same as using router to share the internet…

to some guy above me, if you think that their is no hackers on the ps3, you must be retarded. imagine having a fully equipt peice of machinery such as the ps3 fully open to your own coding abilities. i would say that their are hackers out their creating ways past the security of the ps3 behind the scenes so that sony cant just update and get rid of them. i mean this as in, find an exploit, create a private custom firmware (lol, not realy, just maybe a ram hack like the homebrew enabler) and then after its all bug tested and working, release it. do this instead of getting credit and getting all your work trashed posting updates on your progress, when teh next update comes out. but i guess if you beleave in a thery like this you might as well beleave in god as their is no proof eh. (yes im canadian)

2008-10-16 20:47:48

Are you fuckin retarded or what ? And not just because of your spelling.

So your gonna tell me that “there are bad ass hackers working ‘behind the scenes’ on the PS3″ ……..so 10-15 fuckin nerds get to enjoy all the work it took to hack this thing after its been out for 2 years ?

And when they do “go public” with it……You think Sony isn’t going to pick up on it ? I’m pretty sure Sony has people smarter than some dork sittin in his parents basement. They wont fuck up like they did with the PSP.

Heh, wont be too hard for them either, since all hacks basically tell exactly what is being exploited.

So, in closing…..Are you that fucking retarded ?

Well, I was quite surprised to see they actually messed with the decoding of ATSC MPEG-2 TS streams. Now, when my MythTV box shows up as a upnp device, the videos actually playback *WITH SOUND*.

Of course, they have to mess things up too. All the previous firmwares identified the streams as MPEG2 and played all of them without sound. The 2.50 firmware mis-identifies them as MPEG1 and plays a bit more than half of them back with sound.
