Keep it at fuckin 2.5, then 2.6, then 2.7 etc etc.

$ony probably found something they didn’t like, its probably a patch, with the features to make it look worthwhile so people don’t complain about a required update

Yeah, stop complaining. It’s not like it takes forever. Update took me about 2 mins to download, although I am using fiber optics. I get amazing speeds.

Flash still runs slow and the browser is average at best.

Well.. at least in this update they decided to make it worth our while.. rather than just fanny ass around with stability crap xD

The PS3 browser sucks shitty ass. Some things for Sony to do :

1) Get Firefox.

End.

That’s where the Linux OS comes in.

Comment by SHAMMI
2008-12-02 10:04:57

I don’t wanna use OtherOS – just give me Firefox via XMB

Comment by iLulz
2008-12-02 13:04:50

Omg @ Shammi, your such a little bitch. Just STFU.

atleast the PS3 HAS a browser and better than the Wii’s (IMO), and the 360 doesnt even have one! If you really want Firefox then i agree with Vinny, install Linux on your PS3.

Or Get yourself a computer.

Firefox on OtherOS would be worse than the PS3’s web browser. You obviously haven’t used OtherOS

 
Comment by SHAMMI
2008-12-03 06:05:45

agreed, linux on otheros is pathetic – way too slow and fucked up.

I dunno … you guys just complain all the time.

why constantly slate Sony? they’ve given us a top machine and so what? if we have to get a couple of updates downloaded then it’s only for good reason …

if they screwed something up or the flash player in the web browser wasn’t working properly then you’d slate them then! why so negative all the time.

you’d be pretty f**ked off if your Sony PS3 was taken away … then what would you do?? Moan about your f**king kettle??

have a word with yourselves …..

End of.

2008-12-03 08:48:34

my kettles always breaking but my ps3 has been good to go since i got it.

That just proves that if sony make kettles, they would be shit hot.

i can also keep my feet toastie from the exit vent.

Sony: 1

Having problems downloading the update must be the servers crashing with everyone trying to get the update.

Comment by Mel
2008-12-02 21:24:01

i know huh? right when i downloaded firmware 2.50, videos wont play in background. can anyone tell me Y? OR is it because the update was too big that it needed room or what?

If this is about the whole In-Game web brouser thing.. I think people would use it mainly for either trophy help and/or cheats for games.

2008-12-02 19:24:51

Agreed without updates would we be able to play and stream divx and other content from network shares on our systems or play music while playing games among all the other features and updates, fixes they’ve done to improve the system. If you were using the PS3 with firmwire 1.00 as oppose to the current you would see how light and day the difference is in what they’ve improved upon.

The only thing that pisses me off about this update is that Sony forces me to update before I can use PSN. HUGE waste of time for me, and shame on Sony for such BS. I can understand if this was a jump from 2.X to 3.X but to go from second revision to 3rd revision is a POINTLESS update.

Especially for those who download at 300 kB/s :(

Comment by What?
2008-12-09 18:18:20

Sir I wish i had ur download rate… : (

on average 17kB/s….

i was running about the somewhat small ‘home’ setup the other night.

there didnt seem to be very many people on it, is this global?

next thing i heard was some scottish numpty giving it ‘no way man crazy crack in aw that, um gonni burst your bawz wee dick, come ahead’

i located the aforementioned numpty by walking toward the nearest person and he got louder, quite clever, especially when he then set apon me with some further mad chants relating to the fact i had red hair and a what he called ‘ho prick wi the poofs top owen and yer gay hair ya tollie get oot ma fukin wai’

nice.
