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.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
