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.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected. I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
    • Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who allege that the company intentionally overhyped its artificial intelligence initiatives to distract from slowing cloud revenue and an exploding infrastructure bill. The complaint was filed in a Seattle federal court by the Michigan-based City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System. The plaintiffs argue that Microsoft’s leadership painted an overly optimistic picture of its Copilot rollout and complex OpenAI partnership. They say that the company did this while downplaying the harsh reality that building the data centers required to power these next-generation tools requires a huge amount of capital. Back at the company's Q2 2026 earnings report from late January, Microsoft revealed that its flagship Azure cloud growth had slipped to 39% (down from 40% the prior quarter) and guided investors to expect a further deceleration to 37% or 38% for the first three months of 2026. Now, under normal circumstances, a slight percentage point drop in cloud growth is a minor operational hiccup. But the Redmond giant paired that guidance with $37.5 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. This figure, which is a 66% year-over-year surge, blew past any analyst estimates at that time. Much of this amount went into buying high-priced GPUs and custom silicon that were required to train and run large language models. This is why the market reacted violently and just a day after its earnings call on January 29, the company's stock plummeted 10%, and wiped out $357 billion of capital in just a trading session. Microsoft is doing better now, though. Its Q3 2026 results showed its run rate from its AI business was hitting $37 billion, proving that enterprise demand for its infrastructure is very real and continuing to scale. Microsoft isn't the only company pouring billions into infrastructure for the AI boom. We've seen most Big Tech companies, including Amazon and Google, also get the results of these investments with stronger-than-ever growth and increased income. via Reuters
