[dro]

what dose this do,im kinda tired with all the updates all the time with out any noticable improvemnts... :/

it better b for home.

[thor]

Don't get your hopes up.

[DARKKNIGHT]

Its a update for UFC streaming in highdef through the ps3............

LOL, nah. but i wish.

I wonder if microsoft tried to buy this firmware update from sony, they seem to be buying everything in hopes of staying relevant in this console war. TIME is running out, little green box that couldnt take down goliath((we all know you tried every little dirty trick in the book, too.)..........

PLAY BEYOND

dont

PAY BEYOND....M$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$

[Conan997]

This is the firmware update that will include in-game screenshots.

But that is all that is known at this time

[ThanatosDMC]

2.5 FW will transform all out PS3 into some miniature transformers and they will combine together to form Optimus Prime Godzilla!!!

or be able to allow us to vid chat and watch friends play thier games via online?? I hope...

[StephanieBBB]

This firmware update will bring, *Ingame screenshots. *Support/interface for the new official Sony headset. And Probably some support for home thats coming out soon.

If Cross-game invites and ingame voice chat is included I can't tell but I sure hope so.

[LiquifiedArt]

For all those newer model's without BC as a standard feature. :) You may have to pay for it 25-50$ or something, but its worth it if you have a library of ps2 games woot!

[G1L]

Where did u get that info from?

[thor]

Don't get your hopes up.

[rev20]

Yeh and Halo and Gears of war are coming to the ps3.............

:\

[Fishy Fingers]

Not sure what Gears or Halo have to do with software emulation?

Either way, it is indeed rumoured that Sony have been working on said software emulation and it will come in a future FW update, whether that's 2.5 or not, who know.

[rev20]

Its called sarcasm fishy :D

[Zip]

those guys are right for the most, but I would like some specific info about what it does

[y0haN]

I'd rather know WHAT it is than WHEN it is..

[Fishy Fingers]

Well now you know when you'll be able to figure that out yourself ;)

[Tombhoneb]

HAHAHA, well said !!

[thor]

It's interesting, if you post the same exact post in two different places deliberately, the second won't appear, presumably to stop double-posting. Even if you try again and again. So you have to misspell it and then edit it back.

[Capt CHAOS]

Lol, Thor, I was wondering what you were upto with your post.

;-)

[Sangria]

It smells more like an update for PlayTV to be able to see TNT in HD.

[jamenees]

doesn't do anything funky to my ps3 before LBP comes out. I've only had one slight problem with updates so I think things will be all good.

2.50 regardless of what it is...Hell yeah. It's been awhile since we've had an update.

[Zip]

@ thor

who are you talking too?

[thor]

I was saying don't get your hopes up to both of those guys who thought Home and PS2 emulation would come in FW 2.5.

Then I was saying how the double-posting prevention system works and how it stopped me from intentionally making 2 posts that were exactly the same.

[DaTruth]

Not double post prevention, Spam prevention.

[Rob0g0rilla]

What features will firmware 2.50 bring to the PS3?

If the screen captures are compressed then I don't care for that feature. Hopefully it's the native resolution.

[Fishy Fingers]

I imagine they will be native res.

Other features (rumoured):
Home open beta
Cross game invited
Private chat

and a few other I forget but those are the main ones.

[micro_invader]

I thought we could already do that through in-game xmb?

[Pennywise]

Give me Private chat, firmware for the new Mic and I will be happy.

What would knock my socks off is HOME, New Flash - Or any sort of browser update. Its like Sony has abandoned its web browser.

[BabyStomper5000]

Wouldn't it be nice if they just got Mozilla to make a firefox for the ps3. Then it wouldn't be so friggin slow.(maybe)

[rev20]

Socom/official playstation headset needs firmware upgrades to use all its features dont know if anything else will be included.

[Fadixon]

maybe its for the psp plus thingy or home(dreaming)

[micro_invader]

Psp plus would be great but I think they'll release that with Resistance: Retribution since the only game so far to have confirmed support for the feature.

[Antan]

Photo mode included as a few previously speculated.

[PopEmUp]

plz move along

[Pain]

woo FW 2.50 another way PSN >>>Xbl

[PimplePopperMD]

so what

[BabyStomper5000]

Southern Comfort + Watermelon puckers + splash of grenadine + redbull = SoWat.

[HairyBrownSack]

ANOTHER useless update and STILL no Play House?

poooooor droids :(

^^^^

is this confirmed in any way? or is it just pure speculations?

[slave2Dcontroller]

Will be implementing a picture-in-picture feature that allows PS3 owners 18 and over to watch pornos while they play games with trophy support- EnD sArC

[qwertyuiopasdfghjkl]

I've always liked getting updates, big or small. I think of it like Sony is setting up a banquet for the users. Why wait to dine until the whole table is full of food, when we can enjoy each entree when they become readily available.

[ben806]

if its not home im going to have alot of trouble being able to care

[Gantrfaxx]

Yessss. Gimme, gimme gimme.

[LFC1EE]

Ps3 needs more than a few updates, it needs a price drop very, very quickly as xbox360 is running riot, and before any ps3 fellow fan goes and say's wait until LBP and killzone2 which are brilliant by the way, didn't we say the same when MGS and other exclusives were being released for PS3.

[jif86]

More content, free for users, with better functionality.

Thank you Sony :) I look forward to it.

[ZILLA]
