I hope they improve the video playback. The XMB is tricky about formats (files) and it should upscale DVDs... I think they already said the ps3 would definitely upscale dvd somedays. What I don't get is why video files are shown at HD (maybe there's no picture enhancement, but the output resolution doesn't change) and DVDs need the crappy SD output.

Fantastic thread :) Will you be keeping the various firmware change logs in the post, just putting the new change log in the post, or will you wipe the post and put the newest changelog in there?

I think we should just wipe the older firmwares when a new one comes around - maybe keep a link to the old one..

Thing is Sony *will* erase the older firmware changelogs, hence why I asked.

This is good to know but I am sticking with the original firmware.

Too many of my friends got burned by updating their PSPs to new firmware and then when they finally figured out how to hack them they were stuck because of brand new firmware.

Well have fun waiting until custom firmware appears on PS3 :D

Youre obligated to update your firmware if you want to play the newest games - the updates come with the games

Besides, the newer PSP firmwares will be downgradeable some time in the future

It's much easier for them to force updates on the PS3, given the "always online" nature of it. Obviously if yours is not always connected, then it's fine. But I'm sure you would connect your PS3 to the internet at some point, maybe for PS Store, which is when they'll lock you out of all the online stuff until you update.

    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
