Both PSP and PS3 need firmware updates to activate remote play |
Listed in: News Tags: media player, PlayStation Network, Sony
Ó
The moment we got hold of this news, we were like, "They're not ready!?!" And we're telling you now, we'd like to be proven wrong. So before we become all riled up about this again, we'll just tell you what's the whole deal with PS3 System Software v1.10 and PSP firmware v3.0.You are all aware of the PSP-PS3 remote play functionality, right? Simply put, the function allows people to use their handhelds as a remote media player for the PS3. Also, this allows some PlayStation Network downloaded content to be played on the PSP.
The thing is, we learned today that the feature is not immediately available at launch. PSP owners need to download version 3.0 of the firmware to activate the above mentioned connectivity. The firmware download will only become available by the end of November.
On to PS3 matters, we also learned that the launch units don't come with proper firmwares that can actually connect the new PlayStation Network hub. Sony itself admitted that soon-to-be owners of the next-gen console would need to update their system by running firmware System Software Version 1.10.
While the latter is available through the System Update option under the settings header of the cross media bar the moment people turn on their PS3 units, it is still a wonder why this has to be done. Your thoughts?

But you can't just quickly update all those PS3s that have been coming out of the factory in neat little shiney boxes, so instead you'll just have to do so when you get them at home.
It should be a painless process though, and since the people who need it most need it for online play, they are going to have network connections, and so only have to hit that 'network update' button and wait a few minutes.

...and why do I have to pay to get new hardware...

and thats cool cus u get new stuff but on the down side you have to choose homebrew or the new game that just came out, so you end up not feeling like you can do what ever you want with YOUR system, and that really sucks! so i'm looking at getting a xbox360 cus i don't want to have to deal with the hassel of sony
and what they might do with the ps3.

^_^ It is the connection of your ps3 to your psp. I actually heard what the idea is:
PS3 >wifi>internet>wifi>psp
SO your psp could play anything from your ps3 from anywhere with wifi... ^_^
Imagine, a quadruple layer BlueRay 800 GB game playable on a handheld anywhere with wifi. A neat idea.

Also, the PS3 will be constantly online and a virus is bound to appear. I hope that does that decide not to upgrade won't be left with a 600 dollar piece of metal and plastic.

then they decided that they would use the PS3 as a location free player, THEN they decide that the PSP is going to play PS1 games, THEN they decide how theyre going to make them available..
they havent exactly been up to date with the features they want to implement, and they want to be able to addd features as they go, to stay adaptive...
trust me without that adaptibility, they would have sank LONG ago. Imagine if the PSP had stayed at firmware 1.0...or even 1.5, there would be NO web browser, NO location free player access, NO AVC, NO flash suppport, and newer games would have been limited to older codecs and prx commands..
so I can see exactly why they do it like this in fact

Thats why its so expensive you fauktards.

how many Sony supporters like I can bash the 360 and Wii to hell and back, but we are bigger than that. We don't care about the competition. We know Sony and BluRay will prevail.
Grow the F--k up children!!!!!!

or maybe simply because it's all the fun! I mean, if you cant choose the game err, you'll play barbie? and if you don't push the power button, what will you do, drink beer and smoke pot? lol, K I know the 2 ( playing and smoking ) can be combilned pretty well too! lol but FEAR the next morning... you'll see why you shouldn't surpass your limit of beers in a night ( for me it's only about 8-9 :( at least it'S cheaper that way :D, my friends can finish a 24 each! :| and they are okay the next morning :'( )
sorry I errr, went far off the subject... anyway, so what! lol

off topic (ps3)
you cant make a iso loader because
1. it has got the best security ever on a disc
2. it woud take half the hdd up (or full if you get the 20gb)
3.theres know way of getting it onto or of the ps3
also theres rumors its impossible to brick a ps3 because theres a second flash thing witch allways contains youre original F/W
YEA 3.0 at the end of the month!

These stupid piraters think they own the world. Just shut the ***** up, you *****es!

They can't let their system be so easily hackable that everyone can just pirate games. That does not work. That's not smart business. By the way, Xbox 360 also has updates. If you don't update, you won't be able to connect to Xbox Live.
Next time, be smarter about these things, *****!

Just think of the possibilties of what the PS3 and a PC can do.
They also said that the PS3 has 10x more processing power than the latest PC available to cunsumers.
So don't even compare remote play to streaming PC content to a PS3.
BYATCH!!!!!
Learn your facts.

The PS3 overall does not have 10x more processing power. The strength of the Cell processor within the PS3 is capable of performing 'certain' floating-point operations several times faster than a typical PC CPU, however, a top PC has more processing power overall, power which is set to increase even further with forthcoming DX10 GPUs from NVidia and ATI and quad-core CPUs from Intel and AMD.
Just enjoy the PS3 as a great next-gen console with great games on the way, and ignore the hype over specs. :)

You're forgetting homebrew, idiot. No doubt the PS3 firmware upgrades are to prevent homebrew, like the PSP ones.
It's a computer too?
Can I type up a document?
Can I use image editing programs?
Can I download homebrew/freeware games?
Do you have a brain?
NO.
