I just want to clarify that this upcoming firmware update isn’t related to GTA IV. For those of you who may still have an issue playing the game on your PS3, we have identified a solution that should resolve the issue. You can contact SCEA Consumer Services for support — their contact info and hours of service, as well as more information on this issue, are available in our Knowledge Center (http://playstation.custhelp.com/).

You must be confused.

The XBox doesn't get any updates because it was discontinued almost 3 years ago, when the XBox360 was introduced.

The 360's spring update is just around the corner.

Both have strengths and weaknesses...and that competition keeps them improving. I'm glad there's more than one console to choose from, or we'd be playing the sequels to Gears of War and Resistance with 4 sprites and 16 colors.

Still not thankful?

360 updates are seasonal if I'm not mistaken. Right?

I don't know if this was added, but the PSN Store Thumbnails seem to be loading very fast for me. Before this update it would only load 2 thumbnails and those would take forever, now it loaded the full page of thumbnails within 30 seconds.

Unless I just got online at a time where not many people were looking at the PSN store?

1.8 - TO the SEVEN COWARDS that disagreed
Disagreed with WHAT?
What Will11, the GUY REPORTED FOR SPAM said?

My reply is nothing but facts everyone knows:
The XBox DOESN'T get updates...it's discontinued.

The XBox 360 DOES, and has one just around the corner.

Competition between both consoles IS GOOD for everyone.
Both consoles DO have strengths and weaknesses.

If your gunna' be a coward and disagree seven F*kin times when I'm stating facts...try putting your disagrees where they're deserved.
That's not here.

Disagree all you want...I'm Right, Your WRONG, and the sad thing is...COWARDS too.

Grow a set or join the open zone if you can't discuss the facts.

Could do, but I've haven't had any problems at all with the game, it will probably update the BD-Live stuff?, but I do hope in-game xmb comes in 2.40 aswell

I don't know. If it is a major update, I could see them numbering the next firmware 3.0.

The even number of an update doesn't have anything to do with how much stuff we get in the firmware. BD-Live came at 2.20, 1.80 brought in smoothing of ps2 games and the HDMI upgrade additions to make the ps3 games sharper...1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc doesn't mean anything...

This Firmware update does NOT affect GTA IV. I repeat it has NOTHING to do with GTA IV.

Wow....that really sucks that people's GTA IV keeps crashing like crazy...

I have a year and a quarter-old PS3, and I haven't even had so much as one skipped frame in GTA IV.

Also, every day I wipe down my PS3 with anti-septic / anti-dust wipes, and blast it with compressed air.

My PS3 gets the royal treatment, and it gives the same back to me =)

God, if you're listening...can you please make someone at Sony have a stroke of GENIUS, and have that amazingly smart person give us a CLOCK function for the PS3?

For crying out LOUD, we have EVERYthing else under the sun, but not even a CLOCK!

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd LOVE to be able to press the HOME button, and see what TIME it is, but maybe that's asking too much, or maybe Sony thinks we shouldn't worry about what time it is, as long as we're playing a game.

Ha!

I've never found myself wanting a clock so badly, ya' know?

11.1 - i hear ya
i always wondered why a simple date and time couldn't be displayed when you press the ps button. Maybe they don't want to remind you of the countless hours your spending on their console when you should actually be doing other things like sleeping, revising for an exam, getting ready for work etc

WTF? I dunno about you but I can't wipe my ass without seeing the time on some kind of electronic device around the home, thats the last function I need on my PS3. Hell there's a clock function on your TV, use that.

I don't wear a watch, my cellphone is in the other room charging, my HDTV does NOT have a time function (I don't have cable)...

Also, why NOT?

Would it HURT to have a clock? It's the simplest of things, yet it's blatantly ABSENT.
