Both PSP and PS3 need firmware updates to activate remote play |
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?

No surprise there...Now we need to wait for the firmware to be emulated on PSP models so it could be used with PS3 and still use homebrewn stuff
PS3 aint looking that great anyway...and sod the price...thats fooking expensive
Kinda typically for Sony...
But no need to worry, this might be fixed when the PS3 comes to Europe... someday... somehow...
exactly, and anyway pc's will always be 2 steps ahead of the competion imo you can upgrade pc's hardware unlike consols, besides modchips that is
Banana software ... it ripens at the consumer's home.
The need for the 1.10 Firmware is rather obvious, really. Production of PS3s started in September, with a Firmware that was tested long enough to be considered stable and secure. In the meantime, from September right through launch, they have been working on improving, debugging and adding the Playstation online features in the firmware - the need for which would have been rising right up till a few weeks ago, because as developers started using them (stuff like the buddy lists were only recently available), will likely to have received feedback in the form of bugreports and suggestions for improvement.
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 ofcourse a system upgrade comes with the warning that Sony cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong. To me Sony looks like a big bunch of amateurs. If they want people to upgrade , they shouldn't give those warnings. If they don't wanna be held responsible for their ***** , then they should do all the upgrading.
Do something for DEVHOOK!!!
We need 3.0!!!
The games will probably come with the update on the disk just like the umd's. How cool would it be if someone made devhook for the ps3...
It may ripen but it doesn't necessarily get better, unlike bananas... :) Homebrew makes everything better though... ;)
There would be no reason. The PS3 can install 2 OS(probably more with a linux bootloader). Linux homebrew will work on the PS3 and you can keep updating your System to play games.
I dont really care what peopel say. I like to idea of havig firmware updates. This way sony can add new features all the time, which is not so good for homebrew developers and those wankers who like to have free games, but so what. The PS3 will just keep getting better and better with new updates.
That's what they said about the PSP 1.50 firmware. And look at it now, it's teh g0ld3n f1|2mw4r3.
Hopefully the PS3's won't be prone to bricking. Either the firmware needs to be stored on the hard drive OR there should be a non rewritable chip that stores some type of BIOS so that if a flash based firmware gets bricked during an update, a built in recovery mode will be available.
Not that I really care since I can run games and Linux on my PC which costed < 600 or 500 $.
I Agree with PS3Rider. I think the whole firmware thing is a good thing. I really dont care too much about homebrew. Thanks sony and keep up the good work :)
it might be the fact that Sony might have found an exploit in the firmware and has just recently fixed it. They want to stop the PS3 homebrew scene as soon as possibly so THIS doesn't happen again. Nobody upgrade as that's probably the reason!
they make US update because its way to time consuming to update every single ps3 that comes off the production line, which will definitely delay the launch. And since production has already begun a while ago, they cant just start adding updated ps3's to the group. They're too far into production to chsnage any software thats already coded into the system,
...and why do I have to hit the power-button, not to mention plug in the AC-cable...
...and why do I have to manually hold the controller in my hands...
...and why do I have to select what game I want to play...
...and why do I have to pay to get new hardware...
we need devhook for ps3
stupid sony why do you have to ruin every piece of awsome hardware that you make with this stupid crap heaven forbid someone might have fun with it
on the psp they have firmware updates
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.
how does sony make me change my plans for waiting in line for a ps3 and decide to get a Wii insted mention firmware oh well guess 1080p isnt that great and i guess i can live without blueray way to go sony you have totally alienated the hardcore market
sony firmware 1.10
me 700bucks more in my savings acount
is it really necessary to even have that function.. Who cares if you can control the ps3 w/psp. what the hell is the point? it might be cool for a couple hours than it will be boring.
by a show of hands who is going to upgrade next friday? not me!!
The controlling of your ps3 is not what you should be thinking about.
^_^ 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.
not very good... somebody had better crack the psp 3.0 soon, since the psp connectivity is something i'm gonna want, and i cant afford to lose homebrew...
It has already been said a bunch of games are being released with firmware updates on them so they can be played.
You mean like all the modified 360s that got bricked when that one firmware update came out.. yea I don't want to have to deal with that either.
I also like the idea of constant firmwares. At the beginning, I loved homebrew games, but now they are not so great.
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.
Because first the PSPS was only going to "connect" somehow, they didnt even know how they would do it, but the units were already designed, and they wanted extra sales points after the design was done.
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
You guys are retarded. THIS ISNT JUST A GAME CONSLE, ITS A COMPUTER TOO. ANYTHING THAT IS CAPABLE OF WORKING ON LINUX WILL WORK ON THE PS3.
Thats why its so expensive you fauktards.
what's wrong with you people? Sony is making me choose what they can block or have in MY system. Boo hoo. You numb skulls! it's Sony f--kin system! don't like, don't buy it. simple enough.
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!!!!!!
ths psp have like 10 update since its out they dont put bull ***** ....
they ll always update ps3 its not because they was nt ready its because they had new features like they do on psp , psp was 1.00 1.5 1.51 1.52 2.00 2.01 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.71 2.8 2.81 ATM lol
So the ps3 is prone to bricking! Let's say I'm updating the firmware and there is a power outage while the update is installing... does that make my ps3 a brick? I should start thinking of buying a UPS unit for my PS3.
You find, select, target and PLAY OFF every game in the crazy jungle-like life we have in the cities, what do you think? lol
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
The reason some poeple hate ps3 firmware updates is becuase they give crap features or very little. MS just had an update for xbox 360 and it came with a crap load of updates and cool features so no one would have second thoughts about upgrading. Personally I hate the thought of calling it "firmware" updates im not sure why I just do. If a company wants us to update our console they need to give us a reason too and not force us by saying hey if you dont upgrade you wont be playing any of our games. Sony seems to hate all there consumers by doing crap like that. Plus psp remote play thing with the ps3 is crap. Streaming content from Pc to xbox 360 owns that crap.
sony havent had time with hackers and all of us to make the firmware
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!
Man, I'm so sick of those f@gs that keep bashing Sony because of updating firmware, because it hampers their ability to keep up with the news games for pirating purposes. That's *****ed up! Sony is not here to give you free things; they are a *****ing company that needs to make money in order to provide entertainment. Nothing in the world is free. There is always something to be compensated for.
These stupid piraters think they own the world. Just shut the ***** up, you *****es!
Man, stop complaining like a dirty *****. Sony is a company that is out to make money. Just because they're protecting their investmen/product from pirates like you, that doesn't mean you're right and their wrong. They don't make money on the hardware, so they have to make the money else where. Where do they make the money?! They make it from software--games.
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, *****!
If you have cash to burn even after getting the PS3, games, and accessories. It's time for a second psp. Though I have my faith in HB community. I'll wait a few months after everyone has finished killing each other over the ps3 and hopefully by then everything will be cracked.
so did the psp cam, now look, there's always away around
Axel, the whole point of remote play is so you can stream the PS3's content with a PSP. You're comparing the entire Xbox 360 system's streaming functionality to that of the PSPs. Get it?
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.
Arwin, you're one of the very few people here with any sense left..
>"They also said that the PS3 has 10x more processing power than the latest PC available to cunsumers."
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. :)
The firmware update will add new features to the PS3. Ya, that's ruining it!? Some sentence structure might be nice too, but you probably learn that in your next grade level..
that PS3 firmware updates are crap already. The system isn't even out yet, therefore, there hasn't even been a firmware update. Ya, lets complain about something that hasn't even come out yet.
dip***** you forgot FW 2.82
what if it bricks while updating :(
I understand it may be like, "Let's play my PS3 games on my PSP." But nah I'm good. To be honest, I'd rather just have my PSX emulator on my PSP (which is the problem) because when I play PS3, I want it to be on a giant HDTV sitting back in a recliner watching the awesome graphics as opposed to PSP's smaller screen for traveling purposes.
Actually, what i would like is to be able to have the larger ps1 games and music and movies downloaded onto the ps3 60GB hard-drive. then i can just use a portable wireless router (only $99 usd) and watch movies, play music, and maybe simple game demos too
Who the ***** told us to update? nobody! Booster will find a way or somebody.
We going so far from 1.5 to 2.71 so stfu and wait you dumb noobs on this comments don't know *****!
Homebrew will never ever end even if we got cash to burn for another psp to do ps3.
IF YOU CANT WAIT FOR DEVHOOK FOR 3.0..... BUY ANOTHER *****ING PSP AND UPDATE TO THE LATEST!

We can remote TV'S, DVD, XBOX, RADIOS, VHS so why do we have to update? wait for somebody to make a damn remote control for the ps3. GOD ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD FOR 2.71 SE'S
IF YOU CANT WAIT FOR DEVHOOK FOR 3.0..... BUY ANOTHER *****ING PSP AND UPDATE TO THE LATEST!
Intel said they would have 32 core chips by 2010, I think its probably going to be work servers first.
I would still get an amd anyway as the chips are comunicate better with each other.
Usualy I would go with Nforce+Nvidia but Ati+Amd will probably own now.
Sorry off topic
P.S. Sound's like alot of sony workers/reps posting

F.U.C.K. HOMEBREW. id rather a new game ovr a cheap homebrew game. ps3 homebrew might b a tiny bit bttr then psp homebrew but how cares i now i dont. 1.5 firmware is for people that wanna f.u.c.k. sony up the @ss. if u buy the system then accept the fact that sony wants u to buy ther games instead of crap made by nerds taht live int heir moms basement! well thats just my opinion =]
Ya and the only way to stream video to the 360 is with Media Center wich you have to buy if you don't have.It costs about $140-150.No you cant stream video on normal XP with windows connect only pictures and music. With ps3 there is no need to stream since you can install Linux(for free) go online download vids and play em. So basicly the console is a PC to. I have all my movies on an i-book so guess what, plug it in usb and bam good to go. That owns. Your sentence about the recent 360 dashboard update was funny as hell. I have a 360 and no there wasn't a crapload of new updates and cool features, there were just a few.Oh and like someone said above me if you don't update your dashboard on 360 you cant go on Xboxlive so if all you play is online games then your statement about sony forcing you to update holds true with microsoft as well.
That's a good point also, never even though about that.

Yes, two.
We may have a problem people.
I had my fun with homebrew, I cherished and enjoyed all the hard work these developers had put into pleasing people they don't even know personally but only by their online alias. By putting such passion into homebrew and giving to others to enjoy is a very rewarding feeling but we as the users sometimes take it for granted. I respect all the contributers of the scene and say goodbye to homebrew and update so I can play legitimately MGS: PO and Sonic Rivals. Thank you again for the enjoyment.
Thats why many developers are leavimg the scene because some noobs dont appreciate what they do......;.. me too i upgraded some i can play a few games too but i still have love for hb
the reason for updating is the network play...look...HOMEBREW IS ALLOWED ON THE PS3. Linux is on the system, any linux games created can be played on ps3
do you really think it will be possible to play games one you PS3 properly through the internet? in the same household is easy, but wouldn't sending the required info through the internet be rather... lag... gy?
"THIS ISNT JUST A GAME CONSLE, ITS A COMPUTER TOO. ANYTHING THAT IS CAPABLE OF WORKING ON LINUX WILL WORK ON THE PS3."
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.
online, i guess its just to make sure people connect it to the network
