Finally Sony are doing something right with the Blog updates! Its nice to know certain things from time to time, and at least this time they have listened to and acknowledged the punters and are dealing with the issue, and fairly quickly it has to be said. Must do more blogs more often, i don`t think Playstation owners would feel quite as distant or "left out" so to speak. I think Sony should of had a blog of some sorts in place long long ago, but heres hoping they continue.

TaylorB6178d ago

I wouldn't anticipate Firmware 2.0 until E3. There might possibly be a 1.9 with hopefully an XMB update which will allow more organization of Media Center stuff.

TheExecutive6178d ago

2.0 could actually be the Home update in September... it would be a good time to do many updates

blackmagic6177d ago

I agree, 2.0 will most likely come with home...

Vagrant_16178d ago

can only hope so my game tab is gettin kinda long

Close_Second6178d ago

Seems like every other day Sony is releasing a new patch for their O/S. Nothing wrong with fixing bugs and introducing new capabilities but it must have been a bare bones O/S when it was first released.

How do users who are not connected to the internet get the latest patch released?

Snake_Doctor6178d ago (Edited 6178d ago )

more frequent. Just making sure.
I say keep the features coming!!
Hey Voltron... Jealous Much?

weekapaugh6178d ago

"How do users who are not connected to the internet get the latest patch released?"

can be downloaded by any computer than saved to a usb device and uploaded to the PS3.

anh_duong6178d ago (Edited 6178d ago )

every ps3 update contains some form of an enhancement - 1.81 is supposed to improve ps2 compatibility.

i rather an update every week then an update every six months when this is the case.

"How do users who are not connected to the internet get the latest patch released? " - write a letter to/phone sony and they will send them an update/get an update from work/friend onto a memory card.

masterg6178d ago

Updates are also on the games. Meaning you will do an upgrade when buying a new game.

hi,can somebody help me....i want to know if some of you have the same problem that i have with my ps3.....it happen maybe once each 3-4 hours of play time...the problem is that the controller "jam"..just like i am losing the signal,and everytime it last for 4-5 sec...i called sony and they said they never heard about it before,but the problem is its my 2nd ps3 and i had the same problem with the other one!i would like to know if some of you had the same problem and how did you fix it! and i hope the upgrade 1.81 will fix it!thank you

Snake_Doctor6178d ago

I think it happened to me a couple times when playing resistance. Or maybe I sucked back then. Post it to the new playstation blog site. It may be a wireless issue. I'm not sure.

Jamaicangmr6178d ago

Or maybe the problem is with the controller itself. When you changed your PS3 did you change the controllers along with it?

crystallakekiller6178d ago

yes i did...i tried with 3 different controllers..and it always do the same thing,i know that some people had the same problems,its really annoying!now i play with the controller pluged in!i just want to find a solution,i've already changed my ps3,i dont want to change it again!did you ever have the same problem?

Jamaicangmr6178d ago

Well it happend to me once or twice when i just got my PS3 and Resistance but it hasn't happened since like the 1'st week of me gettin my PS3. It used to happen when someone would open my bluetooth headset when i was playin. Maybe the game would just freeze up or the character would just be spining and i'd have to restart but i don't have that issue anyomre. I've had my PS3 for 2 months now. Since you've changed your PS3 and controllers as well am not sure what it could be. This is really weird, does anyone else here think they can help our friend out?

masterg6178d ago

It sounds to me like it some foreign object that is causing this problem.

Maybe you have something in your home that blocks the signal or maybe your neighbour does.

Bleyd6177d ago

can cause this kind of intereference. Is your PS3 within 50 feet of a microwave? Most likely it is. Bluetooth jumps around the 2.4 GHz bandwidth by design and when it encounters a section of the bandwidth that's causing problems it jumps away. The problem with microwave ovens is that their interference is so broad spectrum that it's extremely difficult to get any kind of quality signal through or around it's area of influence. The best method of correcting this interference is to shield your microwave better than it is now by putting up a sheet of aluminum or copper mesh appropriately. For example, I'm going to be doing this on the wall behind the microwave because that wall is directly in-between the ps3 and the microwave in my home.

crystallakekiller6177d ago (Edited 6177d ago )

thank you guys for the help...good advise for the microwave....and now that i think about it,my cellphone use bluetooth!maybe it one of the reasons why it does that!anyways,thank you!

devi8i6177d ago

Interference on the 2.45 Ghz is the prime culprit here. MIcrowaves, cell phones, and cordless house phones all ride on the same frequency and are equally capable of causing interference. Bluetooth is also natively passive meaning it will allow for other traffic/intereference to clear before transmitting. Although later revisions of bluetooth protocol allow for spread-spectrum functionality in order to prevent latency due to interference and other traffic in the spectrum, bluetooth can still lose its pairing and connectivity while switching frequencies and or waiting on traffic.

If you continue to have problems I would look for devices in your home that share the same spectrum and try to move them or shield them.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow1d 21h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 21h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 16h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
