Problems with the PS3 and improvements to make it better

XTREME PS3 writes:

"Firmware 2.40 brings the PS3 closer to a fully-fledged system, but there are still problems with the system software and features that are missing. In this article, we detail some of the problems faced by the existing system software and what additional features can make it better. While not everyone will agree with the problems and improvements features in this article, it just goes to show how many flaws the system has and how far off it is from perfect."

2.3 - Possible Fix

I had this issue with my 60G where it would not read any BluRay media and i was out of warranty so it was either going to be $150 to Sony or attempt to fix it myself. I also had similar problem with my PS2 years back which i managed to fix by readjusting the lens so it read closer to the disc and it fixed the problem. I followed the same procedure and managed to fix my PS3. I'm not guaranteeing this is going to fix everyone's problems but it's worth a shot if you're out of warranty and cash. Also might help if when you readjust the lens, you give it a gentle cleaning as even the smallest smudge will cause it work improperly.

3 - TRUE

a well wrote and none bias post, i have the problem with my flash player..i can only use it on you tube but other website does not work, and the load for xmb...all this can be fixed i just hope sony takes note and fixes the problems, another thing is the internet on the ps3 is a bit slow.i know i have my computer for using the internet but sometimes when my computer breaks down i use my ps3 for browsing and it is a bit slow,...any way all this problems are minor and does not really affect ur gaming experence but it would be nice if sony takes care of the problems.

3.1 - i have to

agree there are some features the op listed there that really would make the ps3 even more enjoyable. features like online profile, better flash player, downloading while on stand by,better video compatiblity and appear offline are some of the needed features. one feature i dont think he mentioned was the ability to mute players. i dont know about some of you guys but some ppl think by blasting thier crappy music they are making the game more intresting. please keep your music to your self im sure most of us that own a ps3 have a music player or pc at our side to listen to our music.hopefully sony is working on some of this features and we might get them in the future.

Yeah, I'm sure adding at least a few of those features would make a lot of people happy. It's good that the network has gotten as close as it has to Xbox Live, especially being free, but there's still a few features to be desired. The one that sticks out to me most is cross-game chat.

Of good points. iam still a little mad at not having the cross game chat, but i'll wait. and to add to that list. ps3 should include a dam mic, so games would be better online, not including the @ss holes you get every once in a while. but iam still happy.

If Sony launched a system wide in-game music feature it would infringe on MS's patent and they would get sued. The only way for them to get around the patent is to have the developers integrate the feature themselves. Thats why all current games need a patch.

That list does look nice, but honestly some of the listed stuff is unnecessary. We already have cross-game messaging (text, not voice) and I think it works perfectly. Why do I need to have a voice convo with a PSN friend who just wants to say "play COD 4." Sure it would be nice for certain situations, but it may be something to add once they even re-issue 2.4.

Overall, once 2.4 gets all the bugs worked out it will at least form a nice foundation for PS3 users. Believe me...after using my ps3 for almost 2 years it is very nice to check who is online when I am in an "offline" game and send a lite message asking them if they wanna play "X" game online.

Good article -- but some of the mentioned things are just unnecessary and I'd rather have them work on the performance of the new implementations.

I would have to disagree with your opinion that "In-Game/Cross-Game" voice chat is unnecessary. But I wholeheartedly agree that most of the things mentioned in the article are unnecessary. While texting is fine if you are in a 'pausable' moment in a game...it is hard to text while you are playing a game such as COD4, etc... It would be nice to chat with a friend who wants to play another game or game mode while I am playing another. I do it all the time on my 360. It is a very nice feature... especially since most people I have come across thus far don't know how to use their mic's or are just rudely loud. Which brings up another feature that would be nice. Permanent MUTE/IGNORE of PSN ID's in game matchups. At least to the point where you don't have to re-mute everyone every single time a match starts. Overall, I am very happy with the FW 2.40 . I think that the PS3 is coming along very well and I think Sony is working as fast as they can to get these improvements out. Anything that is done on the PS3 has to be made sure that it won't crash the system and that it doesn't infringe on any previous person's patents. You have seen some of the lame patents out there... there is probably one on the proper way to wipe your butt. Anyways, people need to have patience. As far as the in-game music goes... it has been said many, many times before... MS has the patent that covers an application running to access music from a gaming system. I am surprised that Sony is even able to get around it the way they are by letting the developers integrate it... I guess because it will be part of the actual game itself. For whatever the reason... it would be nice if Sony actually came out and said why they have to do things the way they do just to put it to rest.

JoelR - 539 days 20 hours ago

10 - hmmm counterintuitive and counterproductive ideas:

The friends list takes long to load – if you have over 50 friends, your friends list can take a while to load, in addition, it takes some time for their online status to refresh. One way to solve this problem is to cache the list and reload it as needed. Currently, it seems that the list is loaded fresh every time the console is started.

(reason for the load - someone can remove you from their friends list - system calls home first to determine if list is still correct)

vs:

Limited friends list – Firmware 2.40 upped the friends list limit from 50 to 100, but this is still very restrictive. My friend list is closely reaching this new limit and it could be months before they decide to increase it again. Why not just allow an infinite number of friends?

by whose standards?

PS3 offers more out the box than anything available anywhere ever.

Honestly, when Home comes out I'm not going to be walking around chatting to people at the bowling alley or arcade...or shopping...or at the theater watching whatever they choose to program people with.

15 - well

some of the things i could agree with...but video support, skype, online profile support? first off, i just put all my movies on a DVD-RW, and play them back, it works fine with me..second why in the hell do we need skype on the ps3? like a ps3-to-ps3 chat? im pretty sure if you have a ps3, that you have a house phone, or a cell....third, is it bad the us ps3 users are trying to copy microsoft? why go all in with the online profile support...well this is all my opinion...i have no complaints, yeah maybe i have no music or trophies, but like i said, at least sony is TRYING and its FREE, you cant really complain when something is FREE, thats like calling Panosoic and telling them their batteries went dead in 2hrs and you got a 4-pack for $1...you get for what you pay for...these articles are stupid, i could understand if we had to pay, but its FREE, so stop b!tching or trade it in for a 360 (but i would never do that! lol)

antt3 - 539 days 18 hours ago

16 - Pretty Good list

I also have to agree with a lot of the ideas in this article (I especially like the power-saving mode, friend finder, and e-mail address).

One or two of the issues might be fixed when the 2.40 patch comes, but I don't even have 2.40 yet, so I really don't know.

Personally, I don't online game too much, and I don't have any friends on PSN, so a lot of those issues don't bother me since I'm not really affected. But still, I see how it could be bothersome for users who do online game to not be able to fit all their friends on the list, or not be able to chat cross game.

All in all, a good list. I'm happy with what Sony has provided thus far, but I think we can all agree that there is ALWAYS room for improvement.

19.1 - You're right

Some of the ideas in the article are contradictory, but when viewed alone, still interesting ideas.

I think the online friend thing works the best when you have a real friend (someone you know from work, school, etc) that also happens to have a PS3, and you trade screen names so you can play online together.

Personally, I don't have any PSN friends, so I don;t know for sure. But it seems like a good way to go about it.

Just because you don't consider them "friends" doesn't mean people shouldn't have a way to keep playing with them.

supremacy - 539 days 15 hours ago

21 - well to be honest

that was a good list an extensive at that, but lets all be serious here, knowing that the ps3 is only got 256 of ram i don't see all these features ever making the cut, i mean maybe a few but not all. that is of course at least not until the ps4 comes out and that is if its design with a much superior memory architecture.

oh say 4 gigs of ram and an additional 8 SPES to current 8 to make it 16 with one or two extra ones locked away, now iwonder how much would a system like the ps4 would cost sony to make? hopefully not as much if they are using the same tech like blu ray and the cell since by that time it will all be a lot cheaper. i mean killzone 2 is said to use 4 of those 7 or 8 spe's hmm i wonder how much of those will heavy rain or FF13 will make use off or insomniac's resistance 2 i mean hey those guys love to make use of those SPEs.

And that whole thing about being able to display what your watching to others just exploits your privacy to others.

however there is one tiny feature he forgot to make mention off, and thats voice/video mail. and not only that but also being able to use this feature while in-game as well.

but everything else he mentioned was right on, now i just wish someone at sony took the time to not only read that list but also take it into consideration, i mean that whole email thing doesn't sound bad either.

either this is just my personal opinion sorry if i offended anyone with this, take this as an opinion and nothing more.

I didnt agree on any of his new feature list he like. All the things he wanted were like personal things like keeping your friends from deleting your saves. Cmon if you have friends who are going to do that then they shouldnt be your friend.

Things I think need to be improved is just the in-game chat. Everything else I see on that list is mostly dumb/uneccessary and ultimately a waste of time for Sony.

25 - I am all for improvement....

but just be thankful Sony hasn't charged you for all these features, which by the way, are only getting better by the day. At this rate, by next year it will surpass the XBL by leaps and bounds, IF updates are still frequent. Honestly, I could careless about all these "community" features that just encourage us to avoid real social interaction. If I wanted so many life-sucking features I would have shelled out the 50 bucks (for eternity) if I wanted all those pointless features.

Some of us 'thinking' few really just want to jump on-line and play a game. MAYBE have a easy to access friends list, but that is why the phone exists, move your overweight ass and reach for a phone.

1 - Improvements to make it better?

Cram the software environment of the 360 into the hardware environment of the PS3. Let's face it, the 360 still has features that the PS3 won't have for quite some time. It took Sony this long to deliver 2.4's not-so-complete feature list that everyone was hoping for, so to match what the 360 has now, I would bet that it will be by the time the next XBOX comes out that the PS3 will be able to match feature (software-wise) for feature what the 360 has.

2.6 - The PS3 will never be perfect

in the minds of the gaming media

i love the 2.40 update. Ingame emails have really made gaming online with my PS3 freinds a total breeze! If awards and ingame text is all i get i would be 100% happy with it. I have a feeling Sony has alot more coming over the next 2 years but tell the truth its all just gravy. I can play online for free and if the only thing it cant do is "voice chat cross games" i wont be missing that feature one little bit

just give it time ppl

btw
this is open zone so here is my flame

If you xbutts are paying to play online just so you can leave a voice message then i advise using a phone!

Um...LuHawk, shouldn't it be the 360 in that picture instead of the PS3? You can fry eggs and bacon on that thing!

3.1 - If you don't ask then you'll never get it.

I'm sure that are reasons why many of these items will never happen like downloading when in power save mode because the whole idea is turn the hardrive and wireless off to save power.
And the idea about being able to save just the game data is good, but if you put to many options in there its going to start scaring people away. You can kind of tell that this is a PC mind at work.

But other ideas like making the flash better is good and I'm sure they are working on it because its a web browser, and if it can't do everything the other web browsers are doing then its stopping it from doing its job.
still, as long as they keep working on it, then it'll get better.
And if we keep coming up with ideas on how to improve it, then it means we can stare them in the right direction for what we need.

i totaly agree with u. i own both a ps3 and 360 and to be honest i must say the 360 has more and better features out of the box considering it was out first and supposedly rushed too. ie:

voice chat while two ppl are playing different games.

downloading demos, games, videos while the 360 is in standby.

charging the contoller while in standby.

the system shuts down after a few hours of inactivity.

play music from pc or the 360 hdd while playing any game.

stream every single content from a windows based pc.

see when ur friends where last online, see their entire friends list, compare games u and they have played, join there game online without having to receive an invite.

now mind that has all been there since the system launched 2 and a half years ago!

P.S if anyone disagrees PLEASE state why and dont be a coward!

And somehow Microshaft is innocent? I don't completely hate the 360 but Microshaft is full of sh*t. I would rather have Sony come up with these things late than to never implement it. That's the difference between Sony and Microshaft. Sony always takes their time with products and they NEVER rush anything out the damn door. That's why their electronics are the best in the business.

Microshaft has all these online capabilities and YET they can't seem to outsell the PS3 for months. They're sinking and quickly.

4.4 - Firmware updates...

I don't understand how people dislike firmware updates. It is like saying "We've decided to improve you system for free" yet you reject it? I do agree with you that the 360 had a nice package out of the box...but believe me...they had and still have much to deal with. Each console has strengths and weaknesses.

Firmware updates allow companies to improve upon what its customers want ... and for some reason people complain about them. Is it the waiting to download them? Cuz i personally love when I see an update for my ps3.

i disagree the ps3 is a great system and has some very good games but its not miles ahead of the 360 like most fanboys make out to be. i enjoy playng both my systems (well for the past couple of months i have been playing my 360 more due to that i know more ppl with 360s than ps3s).

9 - Sonys KAPOOT!!!!!

Its very very simple.
1. Cut your losses on the POS3. bring out all scheduled games and then stop future development. Bring back the Backward compability that you promised but lied really miserably about and bring out new psn arcade games to tie us over till the PS4 comes out
2. Regroup. Make sure to consider all the complaints that developers had with the design of the "Cell" when making the new cpu and gpu for the PS4
3. Dump Blu-Ray. BD player is responsible for 80% of all your problems. Can you say BD+JAVA??? Digital download is emminent.
4. Try to bring out The PS4 before microsoft & nintendo can bring out there next gen consoles.
This is a basic strategy Sony should follow which I think would put them back on track. For anyone in this forum to say that they should take there time Well.... is a complete Idiot and doesnt know the diferrence between Monopoly and simple economics. console wars dont wait for anyone to take there time. thats is why you have a complete console design before you bring it out to the public. and that is why Sony has failed miserably this generation.

"Digital download is emminent"

What the fU*k you on?

Digital downloads may never happen, because of Internet caps. Most IP's here in the UK have a 30gig a month cap, so HD movies being around 10gig plus is size, that would be only 3 movies a month and thats without normal internet usage and other downloads. Plus Digital downloaded movies are not true HD, plus they are missing TrueHD sound, which can only be done on Blu-Ray.

On a last note, it would also be around 5 plus years before everybody is on a fast enough download speeds

console war??? u are the poor lemming following a pointless war. on the other hand i dont give a f**k who wins it wont make any difference to me or u for that matter. ye ps2 won last gen but on a side note did it have better games than the xbox? did u get a big reward from sony cause they won? what blind fans need to realise is that neither microsoft sony or nintendo Or any other company out there only care about them selves and money not us yes there happy were buying thair product but thats about it. why do u think sony entered the console market or the electronics buisness??? for us??? NO! for them selves to make money just like microsoft and nintendo.

This super internet won't reach places like the UK for another few years at least, but that still doesn't account for the caps which IP's are placing on internet access, I've even heard one or two IP's are now putting caps in the US as well, won't be long before all of them do.

Don't get me wrong Digital downloading sounds great, but I know a hell of a lot of people who (and never will) have internet access, Like my Parents for one, but they do buy around 2 to 3 Blu-Rays a month.

Oh, please don't try and "School" me if your not in your 40's like me. In my life so far, I have seen many rumour's and fads come and go and I have a pretty good idea what will stay and work or what will fail and go, going by past experience of how people think and work

Its a pity the 360 can't run for long without it breaking though ass wipe. I've got 4 xbox 360's and all 4 of them have been replace over time and some more than once. So guess what little fanboy? For me its 100% failure rate
