Still wondering when the next "BIG" firmware update will drop ? Well then wonder no more, Patrick Seybold, the Senior PR Manager for Sony has confirmed in a post that, there is infact something special planned for the PS3 firmware update next.
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the most interesting facts about the PS3."
I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.
you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.
I never even thought of that. If I can ever track down a reasonable true backward compatibility one the first thing I'll do is ssd it up.
Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.
You missed some great games then. Especially the variety. Ps3 lacked compared to before and after.
It had great games but it lacked compared to every other ps system. The variety went out the window. Game budgets got higher that's when developers stopped taking chances. Indies weren't quite going full speed like the ps4 generation. It's my least favorite of all the Playstation. Also jrpgs disappeared like a mf, there were some but sht compared to previous gens.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
well I hope that isn't the entire list cause that's just plain ordinary. One never knoew though....we'll see.
Nothing exciting there.
Could the "special" feature be access to XMB while you're playing games?
Me hopesy.
Bit of a yawnsome list if that's to be believed, but hey, an update is an update.
Still can't wait till next Thursday for Heavenly Sword demo tho :D
Well, it's not a "Major" firmware udpate, but Sony kept the PS3 firmware regulary updated.
I'm just waiting for the "Big" firwmare update like 2.0 with XMB game access, personal music on every game, allow users to choose their wallpaper.
P.S: Hey guys, I'm french and i just don't understand how can i submit news ^^ Can you help me please ?
is this so hard to do
