Yes, you are reading the title correctly! Sony have just released version 1.10 of the PS3's firmware for any Japanese gamers who already have a PS3 through the use of the official Japanese PS3 site. As Japanese gamers queue up to receive their brand new PS3 consoles the big guys back at Sony have been refining the install method of the PS3's firmware update. With PS3 firmware v1.10 being released, gamers are half way between being able to interface their PSP's with a PS3 console. According to Sony's PS3 Japan site, this firmware update will provide "various functional additions and strengthening of security." Judging from the first bullet point in the overall system changes section, it looks like the Playstation Network couldn't be accessed in v1.00...my bad. Here's an translation from Sony's site detailing what version 1.10 features:
Whole (overall system changes)
- It reached the point where the service of PLAYSTATION Network can be utilized.
- With the picture keyboard of European language, it reached the point where it can do the letter input of single tap system.
- Music CD output frequency was added to music setting.
- ATRAC is made effective, added to substance setting.
- In type of keyboard of peripheral device setting, type of keyboard which can be selected increased.
- The “cross color decrease filter” was added to display setting.
- 5 minutes later option added to screen saver options in display settings.
- When playing back the animated picture file which is retained in the hard disk and the record media with picture mode, it reached the point where full can be chosen.
- Downloading music and the animated picture file with Internet browser, it reached the point where it can retain in the hard disk.
- PLAYSTATION Store - The following contents can be downloaded.
- PLAYSTATION 3 standard software
- PSP with the PlayStation standard software which operates (PSP system software version 3.00 or more is necessary)
- It corresponded to traditional form letter Chinese and simplified form letter Chinese indication with Internet browser
- The online manual was added.
- In addition Calculation method of hard disk capacity was modified.
- As for empty capacity of the hard disk, the numerical value which calculated 1GB as the 1024?024?024= approximately 1,073,740,000 byte is indicated. Because of that, capacity than the numerical value which is stated as specification is smaller indicated in the instruction manual and the like. Setting the ⇒ [substance setting] the ⇒ you can verify the empty capacity of the hard disk, with system information.
- PlayStation of the part in PS3 and operational status of the PlayStation®2 standard software were renewed. You can now verify up-to-date operational status with the private search sight.
There's currently a heavy discussion on this going on in our forums, with many famous names from the PSP homebrew scene working on taking a peek inside the PS3 firmware update. If you want to get involved move right on over to our PS3 forums and sound off!
UPDATE: Looks like Sony have just released the PS3 firmware update v1.10 for US users a week before the US launch of the PS3. Get it from the link below!
UPDATE 2: News is coming in very quickly on more PS3 developments and one great find that we have here at QJ is the launch of an Open Platform for PS3 website. Currently the site doesn't say much except "PLAYSTATION®3 allows any desired third-party system software to be installed on it besides its system software provided by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Details will be posted on this site soon.". We aren't sure how long the site has been up, but we do know that it confirms what Phil Harrison said about the PS3 being 'open platform' back in September.
Hopefully this means that we'll see a large homebrew scene developing with the PS3 allowing easy integration of 3rd party software. We already know that the PS3 allows you to install another operating system as we told you guys last month when we came a cross a large amount of PS3 XMB screenshots. The power of a cell processor and the graphical power of the PS3 give pretty much endless possibilities to a programmer.

Now, MS’s saying “play Craps of War instead” when this GoW is as good as Perfect Dark Crap? We don’t want another crap from you MS which sets low standard for the developers; therefore, developers can release craps with low budge and short production time. The followings are some examples: Crap Rising, Ghost Recon: Advanced Crap, Craps Row, Lost Crap (lost cause?), Phantasy Crap Universe, Crap Witch, Crapman Returns, Splinter Cell: Double Craps, Dead or Crap 4, Project Crap Racing 3, et cetera. MS must learn this fact. One A graded game is far better than ten class B or C games all added together, moreover one class A game needs less budget, time and brain power to make than 10 class B games do.
Crapbox Live Service is a total joke and nonsense; everyone but idiots knows such common knowledge. Such online service is totally free in PC gaming industry (except RPGs of course). MS started this whole ret@rded nonsense years ago because they have no moral. Sony’s PlayStation Network Service (PNS) is free exactly like the one in the PC industry. Sony also recently officially said in a document that they will never do such nonsense & crazy thing to their consumers like MS has done with their XBL.
Now it’s a fact that Microsoft is a totally rubbish company. They have always run MS in such ways. Now what MS is doing? MS is releasing tidbits of info on Crapalo 3 throughout this Nov and Dec on 20 different days. No one has time to check out all those tidbits on Halo 3 scattered all over the net. Most people except 3rd raters are not even interested in them anyway. MS releases such teasers, tidbits and such garbage since three (3) years before the release date of the game. Just release Halo 3 and MS needs to learn how to shut the f@ck up until they actually release it.
* 5 reasons why Craps of War’s gonna be the Halo killer. (pros)
- Xbox fanboys are just happy if they see MS brand name on their games (so many people buy computer mouse from MS just because there’s MS logo on it)
- I heard a rumor that half of all X360 owners are those people who think their TV speakers can talk to them (these idiots think they are soldiers when they play first person killer games like GoW)
* 5 reasons why Craps of War is not gonna be the Halo killer. (cons)
- Very bad frame rate when the actions are intense (it’s not even a game; it’s playing slide show, stutter-fest)
- GoW is all about camping (mainly because of the 2nd person view)
- Skilled players camp and shoot & hide again and again; noobies will come to them then those noobies will be killed by the skilled campers by shotgun or chainsaw.
- Button A is context-sensitive and very easy to use; but the matter is that when an enemy just appeared around you and you want to run away, you will be locked on a nearby wall instead of tumbling away; then he will have a very easy kill.
- 8 players for multiplayer (any first person killer game which can’t support at least 24 players is like not having any multiplayer mode at all, my Call of Crap 2 X360 version is collecting dust)

and also, this website:

says that "Resistance: Fall of Man" will use 22 GB of the 50 GB disk. So what If they use large dummy files?? The disk will take a LONG time to rip, upload, download, and transfer. Even if it IS possible to run them, which it might be encrypted and then if the dummy files are removed, it won't run.

YOU ARE COOL! HOW CAN I BE LIKE YOU?!?!?
retard, you deserve the FBI comes and nails u for each and every one of them, loser. And wat other said, if ur gonna waste 2 hours ripping a BD full of AACS and sh** to your PC just so you can heavily fragment ur crappy HDD, then just cut youself while you do it ;)
to the other who say no homebrew:
The PS3 is linux enabled, so, install linux, download SNES9X, PJ64, the new Dreamcast emulator, whatever, and there u have it, homebrew.
Thats the complicated way, i really hope its just and XMB app

sony might use 50 gb disks, because thats what a lot of BD's are....
25 gb would be all they need but you know sony... they like to waste money on crap that you dont need like a locationfree player and dvr in a ps3. they just do that to sell more of their products.
