Firmware 3.00 Update

kodel fw 3.00 dar netures ps2 backward,ir kodel jiem to kol kas net nereikia

Some of you may remember how we reported on rumors of the exact date and time Sony would be revealing PS3 Slim, cutting the price to $299, detailing firmware 3.0 (with a video showcase of it's features), and adding a new look and features for PSN (which was part of FW 3.0). We also mentioned that PSP GO would get a price cut, which was actually a mistaken interpretation of PSP GO getting added value to it's current price (which was the Gran Turismo PSP free download vouchers). We managed to get that information to you almost 2 weeks before the actual conference. Besides the one minor mistake, we hit the nail pretty much right on the head.

 

We had also heard before the conference that it was very likely that PS2 backwards compatibility would be included in the update, but that it was not a sure thing since our sources were not sure of how far along testing for the software emulator was. They did know it has been in testing for about a year now, however. After we did not hear anything about PS2 b/c in the firmware 3.0 update, we decided to try to find out exactly how far along it is and/or why Sony did not include it. This is what we found.�

 

1. Most of the games need patching to make them run properly on PS3 hardware (bear in mind PS3 has no embedded EDRAM like PS2 did). Sony devs are saying it is not an easy task to make these patches. It is also quite easy to exploit these patches to run backed up PS2 games, so that is an issue they are working with.

 

2. PS2 is still selling good. Third party developers who are still releasing games on PS2 know that their games will sell better if PS2 is a separate console, as most people with a PS3 are going to primarily focus on buying PS3 games, which has a lot more games being released and therefore much more competition (even from the same publisher).

 

3. How to put games on PSN - Many PS2 games are discontinued right now, and it isn't easy for Sony to get copies of some games. You just take the master copies and duplicate the iso from them, as they are only good for duplicating actual pressed copies of the games. So, you must take the master copy, duplicate it to a standard DVD disc, then rip the ISO. This is easier said than done, as many PS2 disc manufacturing systems have been taken down to make way for PS3 Blu-Ray manufacturing systems. Sony does not want to take the same route Microsoft is taking, only releasing a few patched games on XBox Live!. They want to make sure that when they do release PS2 backwards compatibility, that it is something worth mentioning instead of 5-6 old PS2 hits available for download on the store.

 

4. Memory card utility - Sony is not interested in producing many of them due to high cost of PS1/PS2 memory card slot. Apparently it's a low profit hassle that also (for the reasons listed in reason number 2) slows down the sales of third party PS2 games.

 

So, all in all it just does not make much business sense for Sony to bother with PS2 backwards compatibility yet. They are focusing on making PS3 better right now anyway, trying to get things like cross game voice chat worked out and such. When they finally discontinue the PS2, we might see backwards compatibility included for PS3 then. Until then, PS2 is still selling.

taigi viskas nera taip paprasta kaip atrodo,galima paziuret kiek xbl siulo xbox1 zaidimu siutis,ogi kelis,sony tikrai to nenori,jie niekad nieko nedaro skubotai,kai jau daro tai pilnai zinodami kad vartotojai gaus tai ko nori,ir kad tai butu verta to.kol kas jie susitelke i ps3. ir dar del to kad ps2 yra vis dar perkamas ,taigi dar nemire.

na 3.0 jau turim. ir viena is tokiu vizualiai sauniu naujienu 3.0 versijai yra animuotos temos. na sony mums gali pasiulyt LBP ,bet ne uz dyka, o vat visiskai uz dyka galima gauti AFRIKA animuota tema is JP PSN. tereikia nueiti i pagr psn langa ir ten desinej pusej kur buna parodytos visos naujienos turi buti AFRIKA tem,ir visiskai uz dyka.

beje labai graziai atrodo,zebrai graziai animuoti,zole juda nuo vejo.labai grazu

PS3 Firmware 3.0: Hands On With BBC iPlayer

Firmware 3.0 hit the PlayStation 3 tonight, and a long requested feature of UK gamers came along with the update. We got our hands on the BBC iPlayer to give you the full run down of the PS3’s latest new service.

 

BBC iPlayer is a video streaming and downloading service that allows UK citizens to watch BBC shows online a mere 1 hour after it has shown on television for up to 7 days. It also boasts a ‘Series Stacking’ feature which allows viewers to watch previous programmes from selected series until the series has ended, with a limit of up to thirteen weeks after first broadcast.

 

While the service came under heavy criticism, with the development costing well over £6million and with running costs estimated to be as high as £830 million, BBC iPlayer has become a highly requested feature among UK gamers.

The BBC iPlayer is certainly no stranger to consoles, on April 9, 2008 it was announced that the Wii would be able to stream video content via the Internet Channel by a recoding of the iPlayer to use Flash 7 rather than Flash 9.

 

Understandably, many PS3 owners grew annoyed that the Wii, as well as iPhones and several other leading phones gained iPlayer access while the site was not accessible through the iPlayer website on the PlayStation 3 browser.

 

An unofficial hack was created a week after the Wii launch, which combined Javascript, CSS and user-agent masking to mimic the Internet Channel browser, allowing PlayStation 3 owners to access the iPlayer through the unofficial website. Whilst the BBC admitted they were “impressed”, they also remarked that it was not “the best possible iPlayer proposition for that console”, and that they would be “investigating the optimal video profile and browser proposition” for it in due course.

 

From December 2008, the PlayStation 3 was able to work directly through the iPlayer website and at Gamescom 2009 it was announced that an official iPlayer application widget would be provided with the newly released 3.0 firmware update.

The widget, which is essentially a stylised shortcut link, brings PS3 owners to the BBC’s ‘BigScreen interface‘ (UK residents only) website, where users can stream iPlayer programs and listen to live radio. Fortunately, the site utilises the full screen flash capability of the PS3, which was brought in after Firmware 2.53. However, the PS3 does lack the download feature of the PC software which allowed viewers to store videos on their hard drive for up to 30 days, and can only, like the Wii, stream videos through the website.

The BBC link can be found under the TV icon(between Video and Games) and is accessible after updating to firmware 3.0, but is restricted to UK residents only as it is funded by British citizens paying a license fee of £142.50 per household. The BBC is one of many European broadcasters that has pledged its support to PSN, with others including rtve, Antena 3, laSexta and 2DF.

PS3 Firmware 3.0 Full Changelog, Includes PS3 Slim Bootscreen

Now that Sony's PS3 Firmware 3.0 update is released, we have a full changelog available below to add to Sony's partial one.

 

Additionally, 51N15T3R has confirmed the new PS3 Slim Bootscreen is also included in PS3 Firmware 3.0 for old PS3 consoles too!

 

To quote: "That "PS3" logo startup is on 3.00 regardless if you have a slim or phat PS3. verified phat PS3s use new "PS3" logo as on slims."

 

PS3 Firmware 3.0 Changelog:

 

• Multi-Audio - Audio can now be output to multiple connectors simultaneously. You can set this option under [settings] > [sound Settings] > [Audio Multi Output].

• Video Content Playback - During Video content playback, you can now use the right stick to play content in slow playback, fast reverse, and fast forward.

• Settings Descriptions - Now below each setting option under the Settings tab on the XMB, there is now a brief description in small font.

• New Start Up Logo - Upon starting up your PS3, you will be greeted with the new ‘PS3′ Logo.

• Custom Remote Play Settings - Manually set a device (such as a PSP system) to be used for remote play.

• “What’s New” – The “Information Board” will be replaced with a “What’s New” section, which allows you to enjoy interactive PlayStation news every time you start the PS3 system. Located under the PlayStation Network icon, “What’s New” displays the latest and greatest game, video, PlayStation Network and PlayStation news and releases, as well as your recently played games, in a sleek, new animated format.

• Status Indicator – In the top right corner we’ve added an indicator bar, which displays your user icon, friend icon, the number of friends you have online and a small message icon to let you know if you have any new messages. The indicator also includes a scrolling ticker that features the latest news from PlayStation Network. In addition, when you press the PS button, the battery life indicator will no longer cover up the clock.

• Friends List – Now your PlayStation Network friends will appear in a slightly redesigned format on your Friends List. Also, messages will now be viewable from each of your friends’ respective profiles.

• PlayStation Store Shortcuts – We’ve added a handy shortcut icon to the PlayStation Store under both the Game and Video categories so you can access the latest content quickly and easily.

• Personalization – Personalize your PS3 with new dynamic custom themes and avatars. Dynamic themes as well as free and premium avatars will be available through PlayStation Store. A dynamic theme takes your screen to a whole new level as it incorporates animated objects into the background.

• Trophies – Showcasing your hard earned trophies just got better. Update 3.00 gives game developers the ability to modify how they display trophies for add-on content. Base and add-on game trophies will continue to be combined into a single list so you can see where you stand in a game as a whole. Within that list, trophies will be broken out into subcategories—base trophies and add-on trophies—that way, you can easily view the percentage of your base game trophy collection, and separately track your trophy progress in add-on packs. Look for this enhancement to be included in upcoming games.
