To better illustrate new features in the forthcoming firmware update, Sony created a quick video demonstration of some of the new features (shot using the PLAYSTATION Eye). Inside, you'll see a quick run through of how Themes, the Information Board, Remote Start, and custom photo and music playlists work.
I can't embed the video,sorry.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
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.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"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.
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?
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.
eh. Nice update, but at least give me RSS guys :(
too bad theres no in-game xmb.
You would think that it would be added first since thats what most people want.
IDK firmware 1.93 was released two months ago which patched up the problems of 1.92 which released 1/2 weeks before that. In all this time (2 months) I find it hard to believe that it took this long just to add music playlists, dualshock support, a PSN XMB icon, and remote on and off when it only took a month for a major feature such as upscaling in 1.80. Look Sony is duping us and as much as I love the ps3 I cant stand this. Look at the PSN it didn’t get advertised on commercials and game boxes as a service like XBL, but now guess what SONY created a logo for it and as soon as they did, it appeared on the new TV spots and probably will show up on the game boxes now.
F*ck in game XMB just give us a way to access our messages and music ingame like the xbox guide (which is not the dashboard).
The Xbox dashboard = XMB which is not accessible in game. Sony shouldn’t make it do so either it costs too many resources. Make a damn playstation guide w/e!!!!
Basically the moral of what I just said about SOny duping us is that I feel that they can’t make up their damn minds on how this is going to look, not run, but LOOK. And they dont wanna release it yet because it looks a certain way much like the PSN having no logo for a year.
wow trill...please stfu.
They're working on the in-game XMB. Just like they're working on home. If it's not up to their standards..they still need to improve it..so that it 's in tip top shape for the consumer. I'd rather have something come a little later...than get a rushed delivery.
They're probably just trying to reduce the OS footprint and implement XMB at the same time.
I'm beginning to think it's a hardware issue. RAM? I don't know...I'm not a tech guy.
