Latest Playstation 3 Firmware Update Thread


Recommended Posts

OMG OMG - .avi support!

must upgrade RIGHT NOW!

I really <3 Sony right now :-)

Can't belive they put this in 1.92 and not in 2.00

Guess 2.00 is going to have in-game XMB :yes: or would that be 1.95 ;)

edit:

lies...

there is still no AVI support :(

edit2:

so it doesn't seem like much changed (if anything at all?), aside from compatability with PS2 games

# New for 1.92: Playability status with the PS3? system has changed for some PlayStation?2 format titles. To check on the latest status, visit the search site for compatible titles (coming soon).

aside from that, they said they 're-visited' some stuff from 1.90

everything else seems to be a l:( :(

man.. and I got REALLY excited when I read "AVI support&quo:( :(

I'm still waiting for when I can play my own music in games, but that's upto developers and not Sony right?

While the game developers could implement something so you could access your harddrive songs while playing - it is upto Sony to make XMB available in games.

Id rather have the second option :p

so is anyone else being prompted for firmware 1.93?

I just turned on my PS3 for the 1st time today... and BAM - another update

it's been a week since 1.92, and I don't even see word of 1.93 on Sony's site

anyone else prompted for this?

now for some reasons I can't update to 1.93

it gets to 4% the gives me some network error - enable to connect to server

here is some stuff I found about this update

"Taking into account customer feedback and some internal testing, we will be making available in the next few days a firmware update for the PS3 (1.93) that fixes the network disconnect issue that some of you have experienced as a result of downloading Firmware 1.92. In addition, we are adding a new firmware update for PSP (3.71) as well, which adds many features that readers of this blog have requested.

The main feature we’ve added with the recent updates for PSP is the ability to set themes on your PSP. Over time we will be providing themes on PlayStation.com, our official PSP site and through PLAYSTATION Store. You can download themes based on some of our popular titles."

just a quick update

Playstation 3 firmware version 1.93 is now available for download. However, it seems that people are having connectivity issues in an attempt to download the newest firmware. The alternative source takes you to the official Playstation forums were you can read accounts of download issues.

Also, here is the following error statement I received while downloading:

An error occurred during the download operation. A connection to the server cannot be established.(80028E07)

please refer to this article if you are having problems downloading the new firmware.

Simple fix about the 4% issue that people have reported working:

Try turning off the unit and leave it in standby mode. Hold the power buttle on the front until the unit beeps twice. Turn back on and try again.

Hey guys, I've noticed that recently my LOUD fanned PS3 is not that LOUD anymore. Could this be because of the firmware updates that do "nothing"?

Like if I played any demo for 15-30 minutes my fan would be definitely ANNOYING loud, but now it stays pretty consistent, it's enough that I can hear it, but it's not annoying. I'd say it stays at about Speed 2 or 3 where it used to go at full-speed before... :D *touchwood* I'm very happy at this!

Maybe the hardware has been broken in now?

any indication on when the next update is coming?

...or what will it contain?

Not a thing so far, Sony said they would be releasing updates less often and that they would be making it better than downloading a giant files every time, but since that not a thing has been said, nothing leaked, no rumours of future features.

I assumed the next update would come when In-game XMB comes around.

I find that 2.17 now turns off the controller when it isn't used for a while. Which is a great addition

No, that's been there for a while. It just turns off a lot later than you'd expect. The 360 turns off controllers after 5 minutes of inactivity. On the PS3, I think it's about half an hour. No biggie, as they last a good amount of time.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
